The Rumours

The Mighty Can Fall

About Me

In late 2001, Lou Rumour and Just Janelle were introduced to Melissa Starr via their mutual tattoo artist. Shortly thereafter the trio began jamming to escape the tedious perils of retail clothing sales. The following spring, The Rumours made their debut on the Vancouver scene with countless sold out shows. By the end of their first year together, they had played an impressive list of high-profile shows with a diverse list of acts including Taking Back Sunday, the D4, Danko Jones, The Tea Party and Swollen Members.Bridging doo wop, musicals, hair metal and hard rock influences, The Rumours blend intense, powerful vocals, spiraling guitars and pounding rhythms that continue to earn them press and praise from fans and industry alike. With the summer 2003 addition of sublimely talented drummer Steve Senyk, The Rumours are complete, and sounding better than ever!As the recipients of Future Shop and Universal Music ‘Future Stars’ best unsigned band at Canadian Music Week 2003, The Rumours spent the fall recording their first full length album entitled “The Mighty Can Fall”. The band started 2004 on their first tour alongside Billy Talent and have since toured with Vanilla Ice and on their own in Canada. They plan to continue on the road throughout the coming months in support of "The Mighty Can Fall"Discography: The Mighty Can Fall (Switchblade/Universal) - Produced by Terry “Sho” Murray (Shocore/Radiogram) - “Pretty” also appears on DiePopstar Volume 1 - “Another Lie” was picked to appear on CMW04’s Insert CD SamplerFilm and Television Credits: Tranny Force Vol. 1 Theme Song “Makeover” Alienated Title song “RadioActive”
