Sound of Rum formed in the summer of 2008. Since then rapper Kate 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.
