New single - The Wellerman - OUT NOW!
Under the moniker The Rumpled hides the Irish Folk-Rock band est. in Trento (Italy) in 2013.
The 6 pieces ensamble plays a unique combination of Irish Folk, Rock, Ska and Punk, with the traditional instrument pair made of accordion and violin (Tommy and Patty) taking the spotlight as main melody makers; add on top some massive guitars riffs (Davide) and an ever-thumping rhythmic section (Michele on Drums and Luca on bass) laying the foundation for the drizzled vocals of the front-man (Marco) and you’ll have an idea of the Rumpled sound, a very fresh yet authentic version of Celtic Punk.
The band’s discography sees in 2018 the release of the 11 tracks debut Album “Ashes & Wishes”, recorded and produced by Gianluca Amendolara of Black Dingo Productions (already involved in projects like The Rumjacks and many more), with the support of the Upload Sounds platform.
In 2019, the band released the EP Grace O’Malley, a work inspired by the legendary female Irish Leader and Bucaneer. Anticipated by the title-track single, the record has been positively welcomed by both the audience and the press, raking up more than 1 million plays on Spotify.
As for the Live side, all the studio works of the band have been followed by promotional tours in mainland Europe.
The “Ashes and Wishes” Tour took the band on more than 60 stages between Switzerland, France and Italy, while the “Grace O’Malley Tour” ended in September 2019 , after more than 40 live shows around Europe, with the band shaking the ground from festivals stages like the one of Roi Arthur of Bréal-sous-Montfort in France, which saw more than 43,000 ppl attending the event.
After the 2019 Christmas release of “Let It Snow!”, cover of the famous tune performed by Frank Sinatra, the band also shared the “Rumplugged Series” on the official Youtube channel, a selection of acoustic performances showcasing some of the best Celtic hits spiced up the Rumpled way.
The band has also recently released a new studio work.
The TOSS THE COIN EP has been released on March 13th 2020 and had to be followed by the “2020 Saint Patrick’s Tour”, with the band sharing some of the best European stages with the Aussie Celtic Punk legends The Rumjacks.
Due to the pandemic situation, the band has been forced to postpone the planned European Tour and – in the meanwhile – released a special EP titled “Home Session”.
The work comprehens several music hits reworked The Rumpled way and enriched with the featuring of special fellow Celtic Punks guests of the like of Firkin and Uncle Bard and the Dirty Bastards.
Looking at the end of the Pandemic, the band has released the new Album – “THE PERFECT MATCH” – containing the hit tracks from the Grace O’Malley and Toss the Coin EPs plus new singles.
In 2023, the band went through a change of lineup and welcomed Federico Fava as new drummer and Giacomo “Jack” Merigo as new lead singer, replacing Mazzu and Marco.
The band is coming back with new music and is heading to France for the St.Patrick’s Tour 2023
