About Me

Check our NEW website

The Truth came about from a merging of bands and minds. We are a collective that collaborate and mix styles with the need to make good music. We are groove driven, with influences from hiphop, soul, jazz, funk, blues, indie, rock and chill. We want to spread the love through sound with a mix of melodies and thoughtful lyrics, with classical/jazz influenced keys and low down, deep, dub bass lines over trip hop beats.
