Rules of Love and War features 12 new Trampolene original songs and was produced by Mike Moore (Baxter Dury / Liam Gallagher), Richard Jackson (Super Furry Animals) and Jason Stafford (Albion Rooms). Says singer and lead Tramp Jack Jones: "I can't believe we've managed to stay together long enough to make 4 albums. That's the miracle. Having been friends since school. That's what means the most to me now. We wanted the album to have a psychedelic, cinematic feel to it with grandiose layers, brass, strings and distorted guitars. I'm delighted with how it's turned out. We got the title from 'Down & Out In Paris & London' (George Orwell). It's felt like we've been living in an Orwellian world recently."
