Rushden & Diamonds: 2010 is a genre-bending double concept album that plays out like an audio comic book. 2010 tells the story of both Michael Rushden and Lord Karl Edward "Diamonds" who embark on a musical journey set in an alternate not-too distant future. In the spirit of flight of the Conchords, Mamma-Mia!, and Prince Paul's "Prince among thieves", Rushden & Diamonds: 2010 is a modern day opera, fusing both hip-hop music and a dramatic yet humorous storyline. As the story progresses through the albums skits and character sketches, the songs reveal themselves as high points.

Michael Rushden's album, Suddenly, is the first installment in the 2010 double feature. Fusing together the sounds of 1980's Rock, R&B and hip-hop, Suddenly describes the life of the gritty, burnt out rock star with a hidden past. When Michael's luck seemingly runs on empty, an elegant yet mysterious gentleman takes hold of Michael's career, providing him an offer that he cannot refuse.

2010's second disc, Lord Karl Edward "Diamonds" Is Forever brings forth a foray of regal sounds as it explores deep into the lavish world in which the noble Lord resides. At first what seems like a stroll down easy street takes a turn down a darker, more deceiving path.

As Rushden & Diamonds join forces to forge a successful music career, a glimpse into the past airs out skeletons in Michael's closet taking the Vancouver rock star on a high speed chase around the world!
