ULLAPOOL, Scotland RuMac (Ruairidh Maclean), the weird guy making weird music who insists his fans have fun or feck off, is proud to announce the release of his debut album The Bloody Box. This uproarious new record showcases RuMacs one-of-a-kind comedy persona and high-octane folk-punk sound, blending music and humor in a way that has already made his live shows legendary. Fresh off a viral TV performance that even left Simon Cowell declaring Ive never heard anything like this it was fantastically mad, RuMac is unleashing that same anarchic energy on The Bloody Box for listeners everywhere. On The Bloody Box, RuMacs comedy and musical mayhem go hand-in-hand. Fans can expect twisted folk-punk versions of classic hits delivered with tongue-in-cheek flair. RuMac turns well-known anthems upside-down from an accordion-driven take on AC/DCs Thunderstruck to a raucous cover of Dr. Hooks satirical gem Everybodys Makin It Big But Me each track packed with sonic surprises and punchlines. Known for his off-kilter, abrasive and energetic performances, RuMac brings that same wild stage spirit into the studio. He wields his accordion as both instrument and comedic prop, armed only with his accordion and ancient Highland fury as he mashes up bagpipe sounds, punk rock attitude, and cheeky theatrics. The result is a listening experience thats equal parts concert, comedy show, and ceilidh gone awry.

Even the albums title reflects RuMacs devilishly witty style. The Bloody Box is a nod to RuMacs own tongue-in-cheek mythology: The devil doesnt play the fiddle the devil plays the bloody box, he likes to joke. Its a playful twist on an old saying, asserting that the accordion affectionately known as the box is the true instrument of chaos. That mischievous theme runs throughout the album. From start to finish, The Bloody Box embraces RuMacs love of the absurd. Thunderous drum beats and even banjo riffs burst forth from his electrified accordion (according to RuMacs infamous origin story, he once rigged his accordion with a mysterious device to unleash sounds from hell in a conservative music academy). The album captures that fictional mayhem in musical form, inviting listeners to laugh, mosh, and maybe raise a glass to the devils own jester of the Highlands.
