THE RUM FITS BIO
Rum Fits (rûm fíts)
n.
Other wise known as DT's (delirium tremens) are an acute, sometimes
fatal episode of delirium usually caused by withdrawal or abstinence
from alcohol following habitual excessive drinking. It also may occur
during an episode of heavy alcohol consumption.
In Albuquerque “The Rum Fits”
are not just a drinking disorder, they are in fact a rock solid four
piece punk band. Having formed in 2003 the band spent most of their
formative years drinking, throwing parties, and playing hundreds of
shows in and around New Mexico. After having cut their teeth by opening
for such bands as (Blitz, The Business, The Casualties, Roger Miret &
The Disasters, The Queers, and Total Chaos), touring thousands of miles,
and releasing a new EP, they are now gearing up to hit the road again to
bring you their unique brand of rock.
Their music is sometimes
categorized as street-style, some times as old school punk, some times
drunk rock. Whichever way you might try to label them they will come at
you with another song that will make you second-guess it.
On their first professionally
released EP, Have Another Round, they cover such topics as; having their
house raided as a methamphetamine lab, getting drunk on boxed wine, and
playing for drinks. From start to finish the album is a highly
addictive, hook riddled, testament that punk is still alive, and not
just being played by a bunch of pussies!

The Rum Fits "Start a Cult"
Okay, so it's a
little heavier than what I might like to have on the stereo in my house.
And it's not the sort of thing I'd like played at my funeral. But I know
that there are those of you out there whose tastes lean toward ballsy,
thumping, metallic punk. Not a problem. For you I offer The Rum Fits.
Sporting two foot mohawks and coming at you with a towering, rowdy howl,
they are one of Albuquerque's top notch, first rate punk outfits.
