The Profile

British band formed in 1975 to back singer-songwriter Graham Parker, fusing pub rock grit with soul, R&B and new wave. Early albums and blistering shows earned cult acclaim; the group reunited in the 2010s for new studio records.

Formed in the UK in 1975; classic lineup included Brinsley Schwarz, Martin Belmont, Bob Andrews, Andrew Bodnar, and Steve Goulding. Bruce Springsteen contributed backing vocals to Endless Night (1980). Reunion albums include Three Chords Good (2012) and Mystery Glue (2015).

Four DeBaser reviews paint Graham Parker & The Rumour as a British force blending pub rock bite with soul and new wave urgency. The Parkerilla is hailed for sweat-drenched live energy, while Heat Treatment and Howlin' Wind anchor the early studio run. Squeezing Out Sparks and The Up Escalator surface repeatedly as landmarks. Springsteen references and a cheeky jab at Billy Joel color the commentary.
