Truly--Fast
Stories...From Kid Coma
This is the first thing I've heard by the band Truly. They play harsh, melodic
pop/rock with a strange kind of tension that is both refreshing and unusual.
Not content to play it totally straight, this band voyages into all sorts of
musical territory, making Fast Stories... somewhat of a musical opera. This
release features 72 minutes (!) of music. Truly used to be on Sub Pop. They
obviously haven't "sold out" as many bands are accused of when they
put out an album on a major label. What cares what label the music's on if it's
good? Hey, I'm no label snob. Truly prove that you don't have to sell out. These
folks rock out BIG TIME.
