Can You Handle The 'Truth'?

Guest Writer: One Man Wolf

I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume that when you all hear the word 'Dubstep', most of you aren't gonna smack the person beside you on the shoulder and say "Hey BRO, you know what country makes GREAT dubstep?! NEW ZEALAND!", and that's cool, because your friend is merely going to shoot you a confused look, and maybe even (god forbid) try to show you the latest sick 'dubstep' drop Britney's thrown into her new pile of noise.

Now INSTEAD of taking the easy route and merely knocking the fucker out, I'm here to suggest an alternative. Now don't get me wrong, by all means, they deserve it; but in the end does violence solve anything? Perhaps, but before resulting to physical conflict, why not give 'em a dose of the Truth?

Production 3-piece Truth, are without a shadow of a doubt the hottest dubstep producers to come out of New Zealand in my recent memory, and I'm willing to throw my reputation and standing in the community on the line and say they're probably the biggest and best in the country's history. Bursting onto the scene mid-last year, Truth started making big waves in the dubstep community with their debut album 'Puppets' released on the label 'Aquatic Lab', and they haven't looked back since.

Rather than try to explain their sound to you myself, I'll let them do the talking:


The album delves into the deeper darker side of dubstep, it definitely has a moodly slightly cinematic element to it. We have always intended to stay true to the original foundations of dubstep, taking inspiration from some of the pioneers such as Loefah and Mala. - Truth

Having listened to the album countless times, I think that sums it up perfectly. These days it seems like some dubstep 'producers' merely throw a bunch of drums and chainsaw synths together in no particular order and throw it out to the public with crossed fingers, hoping for the best; whereas the boys from Truth have taken the genre, stripped it down to its roots, created a bunch of simple; yet masterful tracks and basically and 'this is our style, this is who we are, take it or leave it'.

Take it? Leave it? You decide!
