Front cover image was taken by Peter Marlow in 1979 in Derry, Northern Ireland. Ten years after the arrival of British troops in the province. The barricades are once more dividing Catholics and Protestants in areas of Belfast and Londonderry.
The Split EP (to be released globally on vinyl, download, streaming) offers up three new tracks from each band and is now available to pre-order (along with special limited edition vinyl leather sleeves) at:
Both bands are now streaming a new track companion music video in anticipation of the forthcoming EP. The Rumjacks’ politically-charged song “Whitecaps“ is sure to become a new live staple, while Flatfoot 56’s “Mud“ is a welcome addition to the band’s deep catalog.
Of “Whitecaps“ the Rumjacks frontman Mike Rivkees says, “The song is vaguely about the rise of far right nationalist movements. White caps meaning rough waters due to high wind… But also could be interpreted as KKK hoods. It just means something big and bad is coming politically. I wrote it based on seeing swastikas all over Eastern Europe. As a Jew, it rattles you to the core to know people want you to not exist.“
