The Truth 

The Truth has made its mark as one of few (if not the only) melodic hard rock bands in the Pittsburgh area. Though the band was formed in February of 1998, its roots were first grounded more than a decade ago guitarist when Geo. Bennett and drummer Bobby Kunkel joined forces keyboardist Rick Gallagher. The trio later met up with guitarist Eric Simon lead vocalist Dave Lindauer to perform along with about 20 other bands at the Kennywood Park Battle of the Bands competition, and despite their lack of prep time as a full ensemble, the quartet took home the prize.

After some line-up changes their band released their first album, Groove Machine under the name Stone Romeo and began playing the local Pittsburgh bar scene. But unfortunately, as the band began writing and recording material for its second release, tensions between them and their management became a problem and eventually lead to a break-up in the spring of 1994. When a 1997 Rock charity project called Star Maker presented the opportunity for the members to join forces again, however, their was new hope for the band. And in late 1998 Geo Bennett, Bobby Kunkel, Rick Gallagher, Dave Lindauer, and Brian Osburn began rehearsals for a new project called The Truth.

"I think the name encompasses a few things. The 'truth' about the band is that we like to write good strong rock tunes," says Kunkel, "stuff that is memorable but not too cliched. We like to draw from a variety of styles without being pompous or arrogant, because that can turn a lot of average listeners off. Also the 'truth' is that people like stuff they can sing to and use as a soundtrack to their lives."

Today the band has a new release entitled Dying to Live, which they've supported through live performances and distribution in local outlets. And rather than reflecting upon the darker musical trends of the past decade, the band brings focus to a brighter style drawling from strong melodies, and guitar-driven power ballads much like the rock bands of the mid-to-late eighties.
