The Sound House, Saturday 31st January
Hailing from the coastal backstreets of a steel city, Rum Jungle craft raw alt-rock anthems and late-night ballads that sit somewhere between surf-punk grit and high-fashion swagger. Their songs carry the haze of nostalgia, the chaos of youth, and the strange comfort of letting it all fall apart in style.
With psychedelic guitars, slacker-rock grooves, and hooks built to linger, Rum Jungle delivers a sound that’s equal parts indie-sleaze revival and beach-burnout elegance. It’s cinematic in its imperfections — champagne bottles next to crushed beer cans, thrifted designer jackets over salt-stained tees, and melodies that echo like mixtapes left too long in the sun.
The band have grown from backyard parties to selling out rooms across North America, the UK, Europe, and Australia, while playing The Great Escape, Reeperbahn, and SXSW (Sydney). Their debut album Recency Bias landed at #1 on the ARIA charts, and with new music on the horizon, Rum Jungle are pushing deeper into a world where everything feels gritty but pretty, nostalgic yet forward-leaning.
