February 18th, 2014

Australian Celtic-Punk troubadours The Ramshackle Army have made their debut full-length Letters From The Road Less Travelled available for download and streaming over at their official Bandcamp page.

The Ramshackle Army broke onto the local scene of Melbourne, Australia in 2010 and quickly set about playing to diverse crowds up and down the East Coast of the land down under, finding themselves equally at home in front of a festival crowd as the dark seedy punk rock shows that they knew and loved. Setting out to create party music, they combined Aussie folklore with personal experience, while drawing inspiration from the sounds of Australian and Celtic folk, with a heavy dose of the punk rock which they had grown up on.

The Ramshackle Army extend their international reach by joining the East Grand family for the release of Letters From the Road Less Travelled. Joining the likes of Continental (ex-Dropkick Murphys guitarist Rick Barton), Celtic punks The Tosspints and punk rockers The Hex Bombs, the band are excited to push back into the US and reach the audiences which offered this little band from Melbourne such amazing support the last time they were in the US, when they toured the East Coast with Dropkick Murphys.

“These Aussies have come from out of nowhere with some of the best Paddy Punk I’ve heard in a while…The Ramshackle Army’s sound is like a well oiled machine that has been putting out records for years, and that is turning heads in the Celt-Punk community around the world.” – Paddy Rock [Chicago]

The Ramshackle Army launch The Road Less Travelled this Friday night at The Ding Dong Lounge, in Melbourne. Australia details and tickets can be found here.
