Sound of Rum formed in the summer of 2008. Since then rapper Kae Tempest, guitarist Archie Marsh and drummer Ferry Lawrenson have been playing gigs all over Britain, at every festival going - whether on actual stages or just busking in the rain.

The band are in the process of recording their first full length album, which will be released early 2011 on Sunday Best, with singles out later this year. They are gigging extensively, across the country - if you want sound of rum to come play a gig in your town, email info@soundofrum.com

Thanks for taking time to check the band. Keep on it, these are exciting times for us... Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
