About this concert
To celebrate the release of their latest EP, ‘Hold Me In The Water’ the Australian based four-piece pile back into the van for another lap around the UK and Europe for their ‘Hold Me In the Water Tour’ presented by Wasserman & Ripple Effect.
Rum Jungle have built up a reputation of delivering high energy summer anthems that go rabid live, and then winning hearts with their more emotive songs. Their ability to highlight both sides of the same coin is what makes Rum Jungle a cut above the rest. Their new EP is no different. They deliver an exceptional collection of songs that encompasses the multiple facets of who they are and what they’re about. Starting the EP with boundary pushing tracks like ‘Electric Snowman’ and ‘Dash of Speed’ and then soothing the soul with ‘Make It Ez’ and ‘Nervous’. Benny’s vocal range and delivery shines throughout the EP, mastering both light & dark and playfulness & maturity. It's a well thought out release that will keep inviting listeners back for more.
Rum Jungle have hit a couple of career milestones to date. Selling out their shows in the capital cities around Australia, showcasing at BIGSOUND 2023 in Brisbane, showcasing at the first ever SXSW Sydney.

Rum Jungle Biography
Hailing from the steel city, Newcastle, Rum Jungle are one of Australia's go-to sun soaked bands with their mixture of surf rock and alt-pop, they float pop melodies on psych guitars and chilled groove beats. With a plethora of sounds and styles, the band create something which is distinctly their own and their latest EP demonstrates just that.
After a lot of exploration in their previous releases, the seven-track EP, Hold Me In The Water, sees the band finally finding their sound, without being boxed into anything specific. Taking listeners on a rollercoaster journey, the introduction is miles apart from its finale, keeping you on your toes with each and every track. The band shares, “You’ll hear some chargers and you’ll hear some chillers that next to each other will be surprising but all have that signature Rum Jungle sound. We’re all stoked on each and every one of these tracks and we’ve put more than we ever have into getting each of them right. Just like our last EP’s we want it to crank on right out the gate but close out with something you can cruise on low to.” From the colossal sounding drums and obnoxious vocals in “Electric Snowman” right through to the lethargic simplicity of “Nervous,” there really is something for everyone.
Thematically, Hold Me In The Water, is inspired by the hurdles the band have faced over the last year or two. Covering everything from their rough spots, to their mad highs, it follows them on their experiences as a band, resulting in something which is honest, raw and relatable. “These tunes are all unique with what they’re about and some have some real introspective thoughts on dynamics in relationships whereas some others are truly just about having a good time,” they confide.
The four piece have developed a devoted fan base off the back of their three EPs Everything Is Easy, Crazy Days and Sun & Smoke. Rum Jungle have established themselves in the tour circuit with sold out shows around the country and festival appearances joining Groovin the Moo, This That, Rolling Sets, Falls Festival and upcoming showcases at SXSW. They also currently have the most played track on triple j radio and have had the pleasure of performing their prestigious segment "Like A Version." Quickly propelling in all areas, Rum Jungle are certainly ones to watch this 2023 and beyond.
