TRUTHandRIGHTS GOT THAT CHERRY POPPED

...had some real fun over the past few weekends, and it's only gonna get better...

TRUTHandRIGHTS first popped their cherry when they had the opportunity to debut live in Philadelphia with a JOE HARDCORE PRODUCTION playing with Breakdown, Stout, WISDOM IN CHAINS, and a couple of other new bands which made for one of those great shows where everybody came out of the woodwork and drove the distance from all points to come out and have a beautiful day....old faces, new acquaintences, and Joe put us on 3rd from last giving us an audience in rapt attention....I should say "wrapped" because I literally did grab a few by their shirts and bring them to the front...I also received great interaction talking and joking with the crowd. We expected big eyes and open mouths since we are so new we only had 2 songs released on our myspace page less than 48 hours before. No one knew our material, but they gave us that full attention/love/respect....and I'm so greatful for that strong start....now we've been given the opportunity to be a part of THIS IS HARDCORE 2010 which sold out in less than 36 hours, it looks like the biggest prom dance of the year for the east coast and again we have Joe Hardcore to thank for giving us the many needed opportunities to kill and build our body count...the lineup for the 3-day event is so incredibly enormous. We play early on Sunday the 15th which is the last day with a list of Philly bands who've been an integral part of the Philly scene for decades.

We also just returned from the west coast after breaking ground right off the bat at RAIN FEST in TACOMA Washington. TRUTHandRIGHTS must be the only band to ever fly 3000 miles to play only their 2nd show without a proper music release...you can see by these moves we're making show and prove what we're capable of....it's such a great start for us... a solid bunch of promoters are looking out within the Northeast and other cities throughout the US...I will get a full press release out as soon as possible regarding dates and since the recordngs are beyond expectations we also plan a limited vinyl/single release before our full-length gets released sometime in the fall.....so y'all can have in time for X-MAS kiddies...

All the people I've met have been so good to me, but of course there's plenty of mutts in the mix, always....bigger the crowd-the more assholes....but the ratio is about 10;1 which means less than 10% don't get help from me when their ass is on fire....I try my best to just move on and let my music speak for me, but many who really know me realise I do have a big mouth and I don't hide my feelings/emotions all the time.....you must show a happy face to a dirty trick....one of my favorite quotes/proverbs....I try very hard to follow this expression in my life.
