The Rumjacks live in Munich at the Backstage with special guests Grade 2

March 6, 2025

This week we were in for a special treat – The Rumjacks were back in Munich, this time with Grade 2. Let me tell you, both bands absolutely tore the place down. Judging by the people’s shirts and the amount of people who knew the words of the songs, Grade 2 already have a solid fanbase in Munich and they were the perfect addition to The Rumjacks. Grade 2 released their latest, self-titled album, two years ago. Recently the band teased, that it’s about time they released a new album. That night the band shared a brand-new song, “Hangin’ on to you”, which is quite the banger.

November 14, 2022

British punk band Grade 2 announced their 3rd self-titled studio album “Grade 2”, which will be released February 17th, 2023 via Hellcat Records. Today they also released the music video for their new single “Under The Streetlight”. The energetic track with a spirited, hopeful melody comes with a music video, which celebrates the strength of the community. The band comments: “Even though there are times when life can feel stagnant or things aren’t going to plan, there will always be people there to support you whether it’s mates, a partner, or your family.” 50 years after the genre turned the music world upside-down, UK-based Grade 2 are bringing the raw power of old-school punk to a new generation. United by a love of old-school punk, ska, and oi, childhood friends Sid Ryan (vocals, bass), Jacob Hull (drums) and Jack Chatfield (guitar, vocals) formed the band at fourteen years old, honing their craft playing Clash and Jam covers before refining their own sound.

Grade 2 release new song “Doing Time”

September 20, 2022

British punk band Grade 2 released their new song and video for “Doing Time”. The straightforward thrasher comes with a powerful shout-along-hook and straight lyrics, which denounce the banalities of nine-to-five everyday work. The band draws parallels to a life behind bars and uses effective rolling lines like “I’m just a number in the system with a lifetime parole….“. The song is the perfect addition to every skate soundtrack and a hymn for punk fans of all generations. It’s directed to everyone that can relate to the general contempt for the current business world. The band adds: “With a wink, but like a punch to the gut ,”Doing Time” is our answer to the dead end of the nine to five hamster wheel.” Childhood friends Sid Ryan (vocals, bass), Jacob Hull (drums) and Jack Chatfield (guitar, vocals) started the band at the age of 14 and celebrated their craft with covers of The Clash and The Jam before they refined their own sound and songs. A European tour as support for Stomper 98 resulted in [Read More]
