🔥 FIREWORKS INSIGHT
The Damn Truth’s journey from Montreal’s rock clubs to a JUNO Award nomination places them among the Canadian bands keeping guitar-driven rock in the conversation. Their self-titled album’s deluxe physical release is significant beyond its packaging: it gives a record that already earned critical recognition a fresh opportunity to reach listeners who still value the album as a complete statement. Bob Rock’s involvement adds another layer of interest, connecting the band’s raw, blues-inflected sound to a producer whose work helped define the polished hard rock of the 1980s and ’90s. For fans, the question is whether this renewed attention will translate into wider recognition for a band with plenty more to say.
The album was produced by the legendary Canadian Hall of Fame inductee and Grammy Award-winning record producer Bob Rock, whose credits include Metallica, Mötley Crüe, Skid Row, Bryan Adams, Loverboy, Aerosmith and Bon Jovi. The Damn Truth's album was recorded at Bryan Adams’ studio The Warehouse in Vancouver.

The Damn Truth - Lee-la Baum (lead vocals, guitar), Tom Shemer (lead guitar & backing vocals), PY Letellier (bass/backing vocals) and Dave Traina (drums/percussion & backing vocals) - ignite a kaleidoscopic rush of gutsy, revved-up modern rock, reimagining classic-rock ideals with fierce contemporary fire. The Damn Truth (Deluxe Edition) will be available on CD and across four gatefold vinyl variants: classic black, coke bottle clear, gold, and red-and-white splatter.
Watching these songs find their way into your lives has been the greatest reward we’ve ever known as artists.

The expanded edition also features the bonus track ‘Be Somebody – Live at Hotel2Tango’, capturing the immediacy, power and musicianship at the heart of The Damn Truth’s live performances.
Speaking about the deeply personal connections listeners have formed with the album, the band said:
“Watching these songs find their way into your lives has been the greatest reward we’ve ever known as artists. Time and again, we’ve heard your stories, your interpretations, and the deeply personal connections you’ve forged with this music. That’s the real magic of rock & roll. Once the songs leave our hands, they belong to all of us.” The momentum shows no signs of slowing as The Damn Truth charge into another landmark year, bringing their electrifying live show to audiences across the UK, Europe and Canada. Highlights include high-profile special guest appearances on Europe’s The Final Countdown - 40th Anniversary Tour, alongside major festival slots and headline performances.
