The Damn Truth is a four-piece band from Montreal, Canada that blends that rock ‘n’ roll sound with Psychedelia thus allowing them to delve into themes of love, togetherness and hope but on their terms.

Paul Carrack’s talents as a vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, composer and songwriter are all over popular music – writing and singing the 1975 Ace hit single ‘How Long’, joining the band Squeeze in 1981 with the successful ‘East Side Story’ album that included the radio hit ‘Tempted’, joining Mike Rutherford’s new project Mike + The Mechanics and having several hit songs including ‘Over My Shoulder’, ‘The Living Years’ amongst others as well as his solo career which has seen Carrack release music independently on his own label Carrack-UK.

Garbage have toured the world, were responsible for the theme of James Bond film ‘The World Is Not Enough’, have released six studio albums and are scheduled (pandemic and Government guidelines permitting) to join Blondie on a live UK arena tour in late 2021.

It is very hard to try and be ‘Mr Cool’ when you have ZZ Top vocalist and guitarist Billy F Gibbons in the same room. I remember when I was fortunate enough to attend an album signing for his 2018 solo record ‘The Big Bad Blues’ at HMV in London and the capacity crowd was just in sheer awe at his presence.

The Julian Taylor Band are based in Toronto, Canada built around a collective of versatile musicians and friendships. The album is named after a flower that grows in some of the planet’s harshest terrain as West Indian and Indigenous Canadian frontman Julian Taylor felt that it was the perfect symbol for his music.
