There has been a surge in Australian emo-ish type bands over the past few years, at least that’s how it appears. Maybe there has always been plenty, it’s just that they didn’t have such great distribution or internet sharing hadn’t caught on back then. Regardless of that, Truth From Facts is one of the more exciting emo-ish bands I have heard from Australia. There are two tracks conjured up on this seven, and the band play a harsh, groove heavy kind of sound that brings to mind noiseniks like Shotmaker and the Red Scare. There are two yellers in this band, one of them a little less harsh than the other, and it’s a good combo. There are little moments of mathiness in the guitars, but for the most part, the music is full steam ahead, barrelling along at freight train pace. An unstoppable force. The tracks are kind of similar to each other which makes me wonder how it’d go down over an LP but in such a short, sustained burst, this all amounts to some righteous hardcore emo that is right up my alley, always a thrill to hear this kind of thing done well.
