RumJunkie were formed in Taunton, Somerset around July 2003 by Az, Frowdey and James.

The ethos behind RumJunkie was to be in no way limited by any genre, if it was felt that something sounded right and worked, then they would go with it.  RumJunkie were eager to get away from the limitations that were imposed throughout previous bands.  However, RumJunkie have developed their own sound that pervades all their original material and the covers that they perform.

RumJunkie have played constantly since forming including a couple of  live on BBC Somerset Sounds on the Morning Jo Phillips show to great success.
