Some reviews of our album:

Ryan Sim -Blunt Magazine 8/10. Possessing two guitars, drums, and no bass, truth from facts manage to pull a very deep and soulful sound with lush tones that still define themselves between restrained and aggressive. there is a grasp of dynamics that can only be derived from their minimalistic instrumental approach.

The vocals were a pleasant surprise as well, rather than soak their mature sound in the wet vocals of a heart broken teen, as so often happens in this niche of d.i.y punk/emo, the approach here is raw, rough, and husky.as for their actual sound, there is definite homage here to some earlier my disco material, drive like jehu and hot snakes, as well as a nineties ebullition hardcore feel similar to portraits of past.

2009 is a very inspired, original and positive precursor for what is to come from truth from facts

http://www.builtonaweakspot.com Truth From Facts are a Melbourne, Australia based three piece that have opted to go without a bass and instead use two guitarists and a drummer. Their reasoning was more so because that’s how it worked out rather than just making the choice. When you have a flow, I imagine you might as well stick with it and whatever flow Truth From Facts is in right now is most definitely working.

They passed along their recently released album titled 2009 through Tenzenmen Records not too long ago and it’s been a more than enjoyable throwback of math/post-hardcore tunes. Despite the twin guitar and bass-less setup, their sound actually remains quite thick. In fact, it sounds better than a lot of bands that actually do employ a bass player. They are backed with a pretty good drummer as well, who does a fair amount of damage throughout this record and is most definitely a highlight.

A lot of the song structures and the bands overall sound reminds me a lot of that first Thumbnail LP, as you could probably take 2009 and send it back in time to 1994 and it would fit in just fine alongside that record and many others. I don’t mean that in a bad way at all either, I actually wish more records DID sound like that. Anyway, this is a pretty solid record that is actually a bit refreshing when compared to a lot of bands that try and recreate Drive Like Jehu, etc
