Montreal’s smokin’ hot revivalist retro-rock flower-powersters THE DAMN TRUTH have announced their signing with Frontiers Music srl and will release the Deluxe Edition of their self-titled album “The Damn Truth” on September 11th 2026.
We’ve previously described the band’s style, with the irrepressible Lee-la Baum as centre-point on vocals as, “a swirl of miniskirt, organdy and charmeuse ruffles, with oxblood drapery…”
To celebrate this news, Frontiers and the band have released a remastered edition of the track (and the newest single from the Deluxe Edition) “The Willow.”
Originally featured on the band’s critically acclaimed ultra-groovy self-titled album, produced by legendary Grammy Award-winning producer Bob Rock (Metallica, Mötley Crüe, Bon Jovi), “The Willow” now launches an exciting new chapter in The Damn Truth’s journey, as the Canadian band prepares to bring their much-loved album into worldwide focus via the disc’s first global physical release.

“The Willow” delivers a powerful guitar-driven folk-rock piece that builds into an architectural triumph of concrete sound blocks, angular chords, and blossoming architraves. Lee-la’s raw, gravel-growling vocals masterfully summon pain and pleasure, hope and despair.

If you appreciate nuanced rock songs that arrive super-packed with relentless energy, retro country-rock influences, fuzzy shimmer, and classic Led Zeppelin styling, you’ll adore this multi-coloured dream coat of ideas and textures. “The Willow” features incredible guitar work and quite simply the most amazing vocal you’ll have heard in a long time. Go seek!
Approved for fans of Greta Van Fleet!
