"I'm a singer/guitarist in a rock and roll band, and while I've pretty much given up on rock radio playing anything new that's worth a crap (something besides Godsmack, Linkin Park, ewwwww...) I do get introduced to a lot of new bands when we go on the road, either by seeing them, playing on the same bill with them, or someone in another band giving me the good word on them. The latter is how I was told about Tony C and the Truth. I got to talking with a drumer in another band and we both agreed that we were pretty much fed up with the direction rock radio seemed to be going (at least in our homestate of Colorado, where the new rock radio stations seem to have a playlist that consists of maybe five different bands, all of which pretty much suck horribly), and how nice it was when we actually heard a new band playing real rock music. He told me about this great hard-rock-blues band outta New York called Tony C And The Truth. Trusting this dude's judgement I bought the CD as soon as I could find a copy.



This guy Tony is a much needed shot of good surly charisma that rock music has been long overdue for. His uber-rasp vocals, delivered with the street-wisdom and finesse of some the greatest in blues, coat the endless barrage of infectious hooks that are this debut album. The DJing that I would normally have found irritating is perfectly in place, the ballads aren't wussy, and the rockers are just plain ol' dirty fun.



If you still like good rock n' roll with a hefty helping of blues, funk, and urban grit this is a very sound purchase."

Seriously, don't pass on these guys!!!!

"Wow, what a band. They are awesome live. They keep the crowd listening with every song. Tony has a unique voice. As far as musical talent...they all have it. I was equally impressed with the drummer. When I saw them live they had quite a following and it was like every song spoke to them! The more I listen to them the more I understand that!! Take the time and listen to the samples offered...you will be hooked, too!!"
