Graham Parker & the Rumour Has It On Film

Graham Parker and the Rumour were one of the great English rock acts of the late 1970s and the very beginning of the ’80s. Parker’s songs have a biting, class-conscious wit not unlike those of his contemporary and countryman, Elvis Costello, and his albums with the Rumour are especially beloved.

The first two, Howlin’ Wind and Heat Treatment, got raves, and their fourth, Squeezing Out Sparks, was voted album of the year in the Village Voice’s influential Pazz & Jop critics’ poll.* More recently, Rolling Stone named it one of the best rock albums of all time.

It was also the last studio album Graham Parker and the Rumour recorded together. Until this year: They released Three Chords Good, having reunited after 30 years. Even more improbably, they play a major role in This Is 40, Judd Apatow’s next movie, which hits theaters December 21, 2012. Interview HERE
