Biography – The Damn Truth formed in Montreal, blending bluesy riffs, vintage organ textures, and large-guitar dynamics. Lee-la Baum’s electrifying stage presence anchors the band, supported by Tom Shemer’s guitar work, PY Letellier’s bass, and Dave Traina’s powerful drumming. The band’s sound has been described as a modern revival of 60s/70s rock energy, with melodic hooks, swaggering rhythms, and psychedelic touches that elevate their live performances.
Discography Highlights – Their studio catalog opens with Dear in the Headlights (2012), followed by Devilish Folk (2016), Now or Nowhere (2021) featuring charting Canadian Active Rock singles, and their self-titled album The Damn Truth (2025) produced by Bob Rock. The collaboration with Bob Rock on 2025’s self-titled release marks a notable milestone, continuing the band’s evolution while honoring their classic-rock roots.
Recent Singles & Releases – Love Outta Luck (Sept 2024), I Just Gotta Let You Know (Oct 2023), The Willow (Mar 2025), and Better This Way (Jan 2025) keep the group in rotation across streaming platforms and radio, with new material tied to the 2025 album rollout.
