THE RAMSHACKLE ARMY, a 6-piece Celtic punk band from Melbourne, recently released their latest single ‘Rise and Fall‘ via Riot Records and are set to back it up with their new EP Highflyer. It will be released on all digital platforms on the 2nd of July.
Highflyer is the first EP release on Riot Records for THE RAMSHACKLE ARMY. The aggressive and up-tempo 5 track EP rips through at speed with each song made identifiable by catchy and memorable fiddle, banjo and mandolin lines. Highflyer lyrically draws on topics of personal experience: the challenges of the day to day and observation of the state of the world, conveyed in an energetic and singalong fashion.
THE RAMSHACKLE ARMY have built quite a name for themselves having toured the US multiple times and played with some of the biggest international punk acts in Australia. Fans of The Tossers, Dropkick Murphys and Flogging Molly will love THE RAMSHACKLE ARMY.
With ten years and countless shows across two continents under their collective belts, THE RAMSHACKLE ARMY have steadily built a cross-genre following which has seen their name appear all over the world. The 6-piece Celtic punk band broke onto the Melbourne pub scene in June 2010. They quickly made the jump from the inner suburban pubs they call home, to the wider Australian punk audience and have now made multiple trips to the States with some of the scene’s biggest names.
As a band which draws on a vast array of influences including the punk they grew up on, the Celtic traditions of their family history and Australian colonial heritage, they have brought to the table a sound marketable in any domain.
The raw sound that is The Ramshackle Army, combined with an energetic live show, draws the crowd in through onstage interaction and the simple premise that by having fun themselves the crowd will come along for the ride.
