Album Notes & Community Reviews
'Truth and Soul' is a frantic, genre-defying explosion of funk rock, ska, and heavy metal. The album tackles conscious, highly political themes with a rebellious, humorous energy, driven by chaotic brass arrangements, slap bass, and relentlessly eclectic songwriting.
