  • The Up Escalator is an LP by Graham Parker And The Rumour from 1980 released on the Vertigo label.

    About this album

    The Up Escalator is a smart, hard-edged late-period statement from Graham Parker And The Rumour, balancing power pop hooks with the grit of British pub rock. Issued in 1980, it shows Parker sharpening his already combustible songwriting into tighter, more melodic forms without losing the anger and bite that made his work stand out. The Rumour bring muscular backing and plenty of drive, giving songs such as Stupefaction and Love Without Greed real snap. Coming after Parker’s mid-’70s breakthrough, the album captures an artist refining his sound for a new decade while keeping his lyrical scepticism intact.

    Genre: Pop & Rock
