“‘Addicted’ was born from that raw, painful place of not fitting in,” says the Damn Truth’s lead singer and rhythm guitarist, Lee-La Baum.
“It speaks to the dark spiral we sometimes fall into just to feel accepted—chasing trends, numbing who we are, losing ourselves piece by piece. But at its core, this song is a rebellion. A loud, unapologetic cry of freedom. A middle finger to conformity. ‘Addicted’ is about reclaiming your identity and owning it with zero shame. This is who I am. Take it or leave it.”
In 2021, the Damn Truth released their critically acclaimed breakout album Now or Nowhere. Produced by legendary Grammy Award winning Bob Rock (Motley Crue, Metallica, The Offspring, Bon Jovi). On March 14, 2025, the band released their new self-titled album, “The Damn Truth” (also produced by Bob Rock) which features the new single “Addicted.”

The Damn Truth features 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. The band received airplay on Planet Rock with tracks from their latest album with the singles “I Just Gotta Let You Know,” “Love Outta Luck,” “Better This Way,” and “All Night Long.”
The band have won Tracks of the Week on Classic Rock Magazine’s Louder Sound several times. Earlier this year, Classic Rock published a feature entitled “Six Questions with The Damn Truth.”
Championed by the British music press, the band received extensive magazine coverage in Classic Rock, Rolling Stone, Guitarist, Blues Matters, Powerplay, Fireworks, Blues in Britain, HRH, and R’N’R.
“The Damn Truth are a fresh revivalism of the psyche music scene from the mid-60’s,” says Jeff Laufer of Rock Bands of LA. “Critics and fans praise the Damn Truth’s regeneration of the hard rock sound and values. Bob Rock found a spirit within the band. He saw something special – a band with burning talent that needed the right direction to break wide open; like lightning in a bottle.”
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.
Parker Barrow is a high energy, blues-infused southern rock ‘n’ roll band led by husband-and-wife duo Megan Kane (lead vocals) and Dylan Turner (drums), and features guitarist and musical director Alex Bender. Their name is derived from the notorious 1930’s American bank robbers Bonnie & Clyde.
Parker Barrow’s compelling vintage sound features rock, southern rock, blues, and soul. Their sound is unmistakably their own. The band draws from old and new influences threaded throughout their distinctive sound, including the Allman Brothers, the Black Crowes, Blackberry Smoke, Johnny Cash, the Rolling Stones, Tedeschi-Trucks, Whiskey Myers, and Led Zeppelin.
Their debut album Jukebox Gypsies (2023) and first single “Count Your Dollars” met to great reviews. The music video for their second single “Back To Birmingham” racked up over a million views on YouTube.
Parker Barrow have toured the US with Robert Jon & the Wreck, Feel, Them Dirty Roses, and Kentucky Headhunters. Earlier this year, they released their new single “Make It”. They make their UK live debut at Maid of Stone Festival on Sunday July 20th.
