RUMKICKS - Drinking Everyday

  Oi! Oi! Oi! 

  A couple of years ago I featured a track from South Korean trio RUMKICKS (https://www.facebook.com/rumkicks) and described them as "fucking wonderful" https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2021/05/rumkicks-dont-touch-my-head.html

  Now that "80 seconds of shouty joy" gets a new lease of life in a rerecorded version as part of the band's debut album. Titled 反骨 (which translates to English as Born Rude), the album is available on cd and digital download. You'll be able to pick up a copy of the cd if you catch the band on their tour of Europe & England this summer (a tour which sees them play the Rebellion Festival) and you can also get it here : https://rumkicks.bandcamp.com/album/born-rude

  It's a fun album that documents what they've been up to over the past 5 years. A mix of new tracks and new versions of fan favourites, its a breath of fresh air from one of the punk scene's most colourful acts. Press play, turn up the volume and have yourself a good pogo around your living room. 

  This is the opener, it's a song that pretty much says "fuck it...let's party!" It's called Drinking Everyday...

pour a drink and let me sink
( don’t know what to do)
The innocent childhood has passed.
( won’t let them come again)
Drinking fucked up everyday

Grab a beer and let me pay
(You must’ve had a hard day)
Not a joke, it’s no one’s fault
(Wish my life is joke)
Drinking fucked up everyday

Forget all the messes
(Alcohol save my life)
Its gonna be a whole new world
No need to feel guilty
(Drink as much as you want)
Hangover tomorrow but let’s have fun tonight

Drinking everyday
Drinking everyday
Drinking everyday
Drinking everyday

RUMKICKS - Don't Touch My Head

  

  Something short and lots of fun from South Korea today... 

  Rumkicks (https://www.facebook.com/rumkicks/) are a trio from Seoul who I thought I'd not come across before but who I must have done as when doing a little research I discovered I'd already liked their Facebook page. Strange that I didn't remember them as they're fucking wonderful. 

  They line up with Choi Seeun (vocal & bass), Jeong Yeawon (guitar) & Cho Minjung (drums) and I think they've previously released a couple of singles and an ep. Today I'm enthusing about the most recent song they added to Bandcamp. It's around 80 seconds of shouty joy which is accompanied by a rather cool and very colourful video. You can find it here : https://rumkicks.bandcamp.com/track/dont-touch-my-head

  It's called Don't Touch My Head...
