Rumour In The Courtroom

Rumour in the Courtroom officially formed on February 28th 2005 when our lead singer, Steven Emerson, jumped aboard. Going through many ridiculous band names such as 'Plasma Residents Of Time', '88 Tempo Crazy' and even a brief attempt to call our selves 'Caution! Hot Music!' our demo title. We refused to play any gigs until we had a band name to go by. Rumour in the Courtroom was born and we were free to Rock out with our… well you know the rest… Anyway! Song writing never came as a problem and practices were fast and fluent. Performing wasn’t a problem either as we never feared the classic four man turn out or the silent clapping… we were four nothing guys with nothing to lose… I mean we were 16-18 we never had dignity anyway. I guess you could say our first gig was at a 16th birthday party and every single person who turned up was either family or friends, so regardless of whether we sucked or not we were getting cheers. Before even hearing our set people assumed we were ''kids'' who couldn’t play their instruments… oh but we could… and we did! I mean in technical terms it wasn’t a gig… (This is were we go to the flash backs) ''Red Lion'' Birmingham, supporting locally famous ''Trevor Burton Band'.' Let’s just say we have experienced the 4 man turn out… and it sucks. So gigs go on and as they do, and you play that little bit better and next time you’re on that stage you remember ''hey I’ve got nothing to lose'' so you drop to your knees and rock out like a mother fucker… AHEM. And I think that we as a whole in Rumour In The Courtroom stand by it right up to our latest gig and im sure we will until ''The End''. By the way during this whole period of time we played a hell of alot of different gigs, we were on kerrang radio to 3 and a half million people (long story) we made our 5 track demo, eat a lot of jalapeño’s and pistachio nuts, went to Birmingham to play gigs, successfully achieved playing two gigs in the Cavern Club.
