The Damn Truth UK Tour

t-211

The band consisting of Lee-la Baum (vocals, guitar), Tom Shemer (guitar), PY Letellier (bass) and Dave Traina (drums) have toured the UK multiple times and performed at summer festivals including Steelhouse, Winterstorm and Planet Rockstock. After extensively touring the UK and Europe for the last four years, The Damn Truth return with their self-titled fourth album, THE DAMN TRUTH, and, once again, produced by the legendary Bob Rock. The new self-titled album is the culmination of 12 years of hard work and constant touring. The Damn Truth are a perpetual and virtually unstoppable rock and roll machine.

Fuelled by two Top 40 singles on the Canadian Active Rock Charts (’Love Outta Luck’, ‘I Just Gotta Let You Know’), the new album marks the next level in their relationship with Bob Rock. He has pushed the band in all areas of playing, writing, and refining the Damn Truth signature sound, most evident in the revelatory power of Lee-la Baum’s vocals as evidenced on the mystic, almost Zeppelin-vibed ‘The Willow’; the full on bittersweet romance of ‘Better This Way’; the social conscience of ‘The Dying Dove’; the cautionary ‘If Don’t Make It Home’; and the hell yeah rabble rousing ‘All Night Long’.

The Damn Truth have added some extra lanes on their rock’n'roll highway as they explore new musical scenery, but the destination remains the same: organic loud rock experienced best in a crowded concert hall dripping in sweat. The Damn Truth are regular staples on the UK’s biggest classic rock radio station Planet Rock. They first came to prominence on Planet Rock with the title track single from their 2021 album THIS IS WHO WE ARE NOW which was also played on BBC Radio 2’s Rock Show. Recently, the band have experienced airplay on Planet Rock with tracks from their latest album with the singles ‘I Just Gotta Let You Know’, ‘Love Outta Luck’, and ‘Better This Way’.

The band have won Tracks of the Week on Classic Rock Magazine’s Louder Sound several times. This month, Classic Rock has published a feature entitled “Six Questions with The Damn Truth.”

The Damn Truth have been championed by the British music press with extensive magazine coverage in Classic Rock, Rolling Stone, Guitarist, Blues Matters, Powerplay, Fireworks, Blues in Britain, HRH, and R’N'R Magazine.

The Damn Truth are a fresh revivalism of the psyche music scene from the mid 60’s,” says Rock Bands of LA’s editor Jeff Laufer.

Critics and fans alike praise the Damn Truth’s regeneration of the hard rock sound and values,” continues Laufer. “Bob Rock found a spirit within the band that he hadn’t experienced for many years. He saw something special… an artist with burning talent that needed the right direction to break wide open…like lightning in a bottle.”

t-77

The Damn Truth have extensively toured Europe and North America and opened tours for Z.Z. Top (and partied with Billy Gibbons in his pyjamas), The Sheepdogs, Glenn Hughes, Styx, and Rival Sons. In 2021, they were special guests on Joe Bonamassa’s Keeping the Blues Alive Stream-A-Thon. They have just returned from performing on the 2025 Legends Of Rock Cruise with Alice Cooper, Styx, and others; and where the band participated in the end of cruise jam with members of Blackberry Smoke, Jason Bonham’s band, and other rock royalty.

Harking back to the golden era of rock, and dressed for the part, to say that they The Damn Truth don’t disappoint is something of an understatement.” - Sonic Abuse

The Damn Truth not only play loud, raucous rock with a confident swagger, but have enough great songs to really get the juices going.” - Rock and Blues Muse
