about

Artist: The Bum-Clocks
Title: Tree O’ Liberty EP
Label: Ramrock Red Records
Release date: January 25th, 2022

Ramrock Red Records are delighted to release a truly magnificent Scottish Post Punk EP with an incredible musical royalty line-up – it reads like a glittering rock n roll Who’s Who entry. Launching on Robert Burns’ 263rd birthday on 25th January 2022, the EP, with Russell Burn, Saleem Andrew McGroarty and Malcolm Ross on production duties and Joseph Malik as executive producer, cements Robbie’s relevance in the 21st century. Combining traditional lyrics and exceptional musicality, the EP features new takes on the Burns songs ‘Jocky’s Ta’en the Parting Kiss’ and ‘Daunton Me’, a splicing of his ‘Ca’ the Yowes’ with ‘The Tree O’ Liberty’ including a remix from BBC 6 Music’s ‘Album of the Year 2021(Craig Charles’ selection)’ winner, Joseph Malik and a bone shaking salute to The Stooges with ‘Dirt & Despondency: An Ode’.

With bassist Colin ‘Coco’ Whitson (Boots For Dancing, Gin Goblins) joining forces with legendary guitarist Malcolm Ross (Josef K, Orange Juice, Aztec Camera) and the Burn Brothers, Russell (Fire Engines, Win, Piefinger) and actor Tam Dean, the line-up is completed with additional musical heavyweights and fellow Ramrockers contributing to the EP – vocalist Rosanne Erskine (Coco and The Bean, Revillos, forthcoming ‘Cold Sun’ LP), the Proclaimers keyboardist, Steven Christie (Till Sunday LP, Justify Me EP, Diverse Pt.3, Stranger Things Have Happened LP) and trombone player Chris Greive (Diverse Pt.3, Stranger Things Have Happened LP) - to take Burns to the masses. The Bum-Clocks contributed their song ‘Climb the Lion’ to Joseph Malik’s epic compilation ‘Stranger Things Have Happened’ which also features Rosanne , Steven and Chris plus they have performed many times as part of Joseph’s ‘Republic of Persevere’ posse as seen here: vimeo.com/374426738

The Bum-Clocks name came from the last verse of Burns’ first published poem ‘The Twa Dogs’ – ‘The bum-clock humm'd wi' lazy drone’, an old Scots phrase for a flying summer beetle - which the band reimagined into ‘A Tale o’ Twa Dugs’ with Rabbie & Iggy Pop. So, Tam has legitimately introduced the band onstage as the Scottish Beetles!

The Bum-Clocks are tickety-boo about 2022!
