Rumours Kill

About Me

In the autumn of 2003, bassist and vocalist Andy Marshall got together with guitarist Ken Wallace and drummer Joel Greenwood to form the first incarnation of Rumours Kill. Armed with their own original material, Rumours Kill played a number of support gigs in their home town of Rochdale and recorded a three track demo.

Feeling that something was still missing from the recipe, in January 2007 the band recruited guitarist Ken Lynch. Now a four piece, Rumours Kill’s sound evolved to incorporate more complex ideas.

In January 2009, drummer Joel left the country to live in America leaving the band the difficult task of finding someone who could fill the vacancy. In March 2009 that vacancy was filled by new drummer Andy Sampson.

Rumours Kill’s music is in essence old-school, riff-driven metal but also combines the band’s diverse musical influences to create a style that is truly their own.

Gigging again

Looking forward to the gig on Sunday, should be a total in your face mosh-fest. The set list has something old and something new, but certainly nothing borrowed and nothing blue.
