Though they've been together a fair while, The Rumours only got around to recording demos in the last few days of 2004. Soon after, they boarded the Northern Line and set about gigging in London's West End, to increasingly happy audiences.

After having 'Call On Me' included on a nationally-distributed radio magazine (QSheet), the band exchanged thoughtful looks and nodded in an appropriate manner.

Mr Gentry discovered the demos one evening and before long was steering the band into yet more London gigs, industry meetings and recording sessions with Liam Watson (The producer behind The White Stripes' 2003 smash album 'Elephant') at his world-famous Toe Rag Studios in London.

As the depth of their songwriting became apparent, The Rumours settled on the idea of recording a four-track EP in order to give people a chance to hear the strength and diversity of the music. The EP was recorded at The Exchange Studios in London, produced by Nick Southwood, and engineered by Mark Rankin. By the time the record was completed, it had evolved into a single, using the lead track 'That Much Better', accompanied by the swirling head-trip of a track 'In My Arms' as the B-side.

The Rumours are set to record a video for the single in the next few weeks and will be releasing it on limited edition 7" vinyl and downloads on 17 July 2006.
