How would you describe yourselves?
Easy going hippie musicians
who like every other musician wanna make an impact and turn some heads while
doing it.

TOOL, The Germs, The Misfits,
The Hives, The Strokes, Avenged Sevenfold, The Sex Pistols, Spoon, Black Rebel
Motorcycle Club, August Burns Red, just to name a few.
What do you hope to achieve in music?
To get people to realize that
the crap you hear on the rock stations today isn't rock, it's wanna be indie
pop hipster electronica bull shit! We want to start a new movement of rock that
takes the people back to the routes of original jam band rock, a guitar, a
bass, vocals, and drums, that's it. We wanna make people wanna move at a live
concert not sit down and listen. We want them to lose control in our tunes and
for five minutes forget about their jobs, money problems, family issues. We
want these genres of rock today to become a thing of the past and Rum Punch to
become a thing of the present and future.
What has been the highlight of your career so far, and why?
We were asked to play a show
that was being hosted by Bam Margera of Jackass. That was really cool being
hosted onto stage by him, meeting Bam and hanging out with him. It was a big
deal for us because we all watched his shows growing up.
And what’s the moment you want to forget?
Being so drunk at a show that
we screwed up every song, and were cut off half way through our set and
actually broke one of the spot lights above us by throwing a guitar at
it.
If you could choose one of your songs as an advert for your music, what would it be and why?
Cadaver Down, it has all of
our influences and skills in one song, its progressive, but simple enough to
show you that we all bring something to the table and its creepy and catchy
too.
Where can we listen to it?
Where can we find out more about your music?
