Don't Be A Stranger, Check Out Rum Jungle's 'Recency Bias' AU/NZ Tour!

Written by Rachel Hockton on 30th October, 2024

After a packed UK/EU tour, including a sell-out London's Village Underground, Rum Jungle announce their AU/NZ Tour dates to support their debut album Recency Bias out 21st February 2025.

Hailing from the coastal alleyways of a steel city, Rum Jungle brings gritty alt-rock anthems, heartfelt ballads, and everything in-between - songs that capture a magnetic, introspective, and hyper-reflective state of mind. New album Recency Bias is a reflection of the band's evolution, creativity, and the inevitable pull of recent experiences that shape every artist.

Recency Bias was born out of the band's realisation that their newest creations always seemed to overshadow the older ones-a phenomenon every songwriter knows all too well - but this marks a pivotal moment that the whole band loved what they had done, even after years together and various EPs.

It's an eclectic fusion of diverse influences, experiences, and sounds that the band has collected over time, with some songs sitting in their minds for years with others coming just hours before hitting the studio. Rum Jungle set out to push their boundaries with Recency Bias, and the album reflects their desire to showcase their range - from mid-2000s indie guitars, slow ballads, punk energy, hyper-pop production, and even some 60s-inspired elements.

Get a taste of the album with their new single 'Don't Be A Stranger', which joins previously released tracks 'Weather's Better' and 'Chauffeur'!

Tickets are on sale Monday 4th November at 9am AEST.
