ABC Records, formerly known as ABC-Paramount, was a major player in the North American music industry during the 1950s and 1960s. They signed early rock & roll artists like Paul Anka, Lloyd Price, and the Poni-Tails. Over the years, they acquired and launched many labels including Impulse!, Apt Records, Bluesway, Audition, Command, Grand Award, Dunhill, 20th Century Fox Records, Duke, Peacock Records, and Back Beat among others.

In the seventies, ABC Records found success with rock bands like The James Gang and Steely Dan. They also released top soul recordings from artists like Isaac Hayes and The Four Tops. Additionally, they entered the country music field after acquiring Dot Records in 1974 with Freddy Fender and Barbara Mandrell leading their charge on Music Row.

Throughout its history ABC had various label names such as Probe for progressive rock releases managed by its Command division. In different countries around the world distribution of ABC recordings was handled by labels like Anchor Records in the UK or Sparton Of Canada Ltd. in Canada until it was eventually sold to MCA Records in 1979.

Back In Stock

Hestia, the fifth and most recent studio album from The Rumjacks, marks a new era for the band. Hestia takes the energy of traditional folk music, lights it on fire, then sprinkles it with ash. Dark, gritty, and historically aware, this is music grounded in the character of the Rebel.

When writing Hestia (named after the Greek goddess of home and hearth), bandmembers Mike Rivkees (vocals), Johnny McKelvey (bass), Gabe Whitbourne (guitar), Adam Kenny (bouzouki/mandolin), and Pietro Della Sala (drums) apply their diverse American, Australian, Italian, and Irish perspectives to create a new, globalized iteration of the Celtic punk legacy dating back to the Pogues, with the punk, ska, and hard rock sounds pulsing through their veins.

For twelve years, the Rumjacks have written songs that you cannot help but start singing by the second chorus, even if you have never heard them before. In this short career, they have released four acclaimed studio albums and two live albums that capture their most renowned asset: their electric energy onstage. That organic energy has garnered them a far-reaching fanbase. The band’s breakthrough hit, Irish Pub Song (2011), a tongue-in-cheek jaunt about all the Irish pubs in the world, has over sixty-five million views on YouTube.
