Due to popular demand, the psychedelic four-piece rock and roll band added a new date and are also heading up to Scotland to play Mac Arts in Galashiels, on Sunday 16th November – Previously announced as performing at Oran Mor in Glasgow on that date, Glaswegians will now get to seem them Monday 17th November.

“We’re very excited to return to the UK for another tour,” said The Damn Truth‘s lead singer and guitarist, Lee-la Baum. “We always enjoy performing shows in England. The enthusiasm of UK audiences is incredible.”
Concurrent with this latest news, comes the band’s new single ‘Addicted’ that you can stream here and check out the video to below.
“‘Addicted’ was born from that raw, painful place of not fitting in,” said 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.”
With fast-mouthed rapping and some anthemic soulful callouts over a hard-working funk rock out The Damn Truth‘s new single ‘Addicted’ sees them exploring fertile new territory – If you’re a fan of classic rock crossover act Mother’s Finest or ever wondered what a female fronted Hot Wire-era Trapeze might sound like, check this cookie out.
In 2021, the band released their critically acclaimed breakout album Now or Nowhere. Produced by legendary Grammy Award winning Bob Rock(Motley Crue, The Offspring, Bon Jovi). They followed it this March with the self-titled album The Damn Truth album, also produced by Bob Rock) that you can read more about at RAMzine by clicking here, and ordering on vinyl and CD here and digitally here.
Back in May, they released the single ‘All Night Long’ that you can stream on Spotify and check out the video to below.
With a big anthem callout opening before surging into rampant late 70s racing rocker there’s also an impressive instrumental section, but it’s when Baum gets damn serious on ‘All Night Long’, giving it full throttle and declaring it’s “now or never” while making out under the stars with the one she loves that things hot up – Come the chorus, live everyone can join in on this singalong.
