The Rumour are best known as Graham Parker's backing band during his heyday, but
the band also took a stab at their own recording career. And even though they
were overshadowed by their association with Parker and never received much
attention for their efforts, they did manage to make three albums of really
enjoyable music in the mold of a new wave-ish pub-rock band. The Rumour
consisted of pub-rock veterans Bob Andrews (keyboards) and Brinsley Schwarz
(guitar/vocals) from the legendary Brinsley Schwarz, Martin Belmont
(guitar/vocals) from Ducks Deluxe, and Stephen Goulding (drums/vocals) and
Andrew Bodnar from Bontemps Roulez. The group formed in 1975 as Graham Parker's
backing band, recording and touring with him off and on through 1980. In 1977,
they signed their own deal with Phonogram and released their debut album, Max,
the same year. They followed with Frogs Sprouts Clogs & Krauts for Stiff in 1979
and Purity of Essence in 1980, and also worked extensively as one of Stiff's
house bands, backing up Elvis Costello on "Watching the Detectives," as well as
Carlene Carter, Rachel Sweet, Nick Lowe, and Dave Edmunds. By the end of 1980,
lack of real success on their own led to their breakup.
