THE RUMJACKS Sat 20th August @ Esquires
For The Rumjacks; the enforced global shutdown has been a new beginning with the arrival of Mike Rivkees as lead vocalist. Mike, through his previous work has an impressive reputation as a one of the most engaging, fun, and honest lead singers in the scene. With his numerous musical infl uences from; Ska and Hardcore, through to a mix of traditional folk music, Mike’s voice and songs complimented The Rumjacks diverse musical catalogue perfectly: Hailing from the streets of Sydney Australia, The Rumjacks have been described as a mix between seminal bands The Clash and The Pogues.
March 2021 saw The Rumjacks release their fi rst album with new frontman Mike Rivkees. The hotly anticipated, and subsequently; critically acclaimed ‘HESTIA’ has been a top shelf, tour de force addition to their already impressive musical catalogue. Since HESTIA’s release the album and singles ‘Sainted Millions’, ‘Light in my Shadow’ and title track ‘Hestia’ have garnered impressive numbers across all streaming platforms, YouTube, Mainstream Radio play across Europe; and charting in the top fi fty of the German O cial Music Charts.
Now with fi ve full length studio albums under their belt, two full length digital releases ‘Live in Athens’ and ‘Live in London, Acoustic Session’; their YouTube channel has blown up with most music videos cracking over one million views and the iconic Irish Pub Song now over 72 million views; The Rumjacks will start the Bedford party on 20th August.

DEADLETTER + SOFT LAD Fri 9th September @ Esquires
“Hailing from Yorkshire, now South London rooted, DEADLETTER channel the droll fury of The Fall and the lopsided rhythms of LCD Soundsystem into a strain of vehement post-punk, exploring the darker side of existence through a lens of narrative-driven levity. With members being fi rm friends from birth, there is an instinctive understanding of movement and danceability to their music worth its’ weight in gold, whilst never cheapening the nuance and grit of their sound. With four singles now under their belt, the only way is upwards for DEADLETTER. “One of London’s most exciting bands” – So Young Magazine. “DEADLETTER are one of the most exciting new acts out there.” – DIY”. “The next time someone says to me ‘why aren’t the young bands writing about politics anymore’ I might well play them DEADLETTER” – Steve Lamacq
