MattyJam, The Truth is a fantastic band. I spoke with St. Paul a couple weeks ago and he said that they are putting the finishing touches on a new album. Jellybean told me a week ago that the album is hot.

I'll keep you posted.

Peace

I saw woot! The Truth woot! at the Fine Line Music Cafe in Mpls in November of 2006. They had whole place rockin headbang guitar they were celebrating dancing jig JellyBean Johnson's dancing jig 50th b-day biggrin
I'm not a musician so i'm not able to properly describe what i heard in all the technical terms. But what i can tell You is that i wasn't able to sit for long, and that everyone was up and dancing. Don't miss them if you get the chance. cool
