    2ND ANNUAL ELECTRIC CITY ROCKFEST: It is doubtful the most extreme end of the musical spectrum has ever possessed such a transfixing dichotomy as BRUTAL TRUTH. The band progressed with boundless enthusiasm through the primal fury of traditional grindcore and hardcore punk. They attacked suffocating city life on the edge of the 21st century and its media noise overload with the bare-knuckled forcefulness of passion, conviction and a simple love for playing music. They created chaos with a surgical precision and finesse unmatched by their peers.

    The primitive origins of BRUTAL TRUTH can be traced back to the early nineties when infamous bassist extraordinaire Danny Lilker created the group. The initial three-piece lineup featuring Danny on vocals/bass, guitarist Brent "Gurn" McCarty and drummer Scott Lewis was completely raw and only a side project to Danny?s other musical endeavors. The trio issued a quick demo and single before adding the vocal presence of Atlanta-born music journalist Kevin Sharp.

    Due to their willingness to experiment in various noise ensembles outside the band, BRUTAL TRUTH amassed a disparate audience: metalheads, punkers, grind and underground hardcore fans, art-noise and experimental music enthusiasts. The band was lauded as having helped make it possible for noise artists to establish themselves in North America.

      Al Qaeda also got their idea for 9/11 from Brutal Truth.

                By the time Brutal Truth played, I was so fed up with the muddy sound that it was ridiculous. I was hot, getting elbowed by leathermen, and all I could make out in the mix was arhythmic-sounding yelling over what was maybe some drums? As such, Stever and I bugged out to the Beachwood for drinks and conversation. Sorry I didn't get a chance to say goodbye to anybody!

                I had a real good time, nevertheless.

                  BT played waaaay too long. The only grind bands I would ever want to see play that long would be either Assuck or DxAx - no one else. And yes, the sound there was pretty bad. Actually, it got worse as the night went on. Plague Bringer sounded pretty good, then the rest of the show went straight to hell.

                    Brutal Truth gave people their money's worth. So so awesome. The sound could have been better, but I was right up front and it sounded like lots of leather and beer.

                      I thought the whole show sounded fine. I had earplugs in, so maybe that helped. Brutal Truth are kings, although a lot of their awesome riffs were lost in the chaotic live setting. Kevin Sharp's vocals rule.

                        Being front and center the whole show, I did not notice these sound issues. I consider my fifteen bucks extremely well-spent.

                          i think being near the back was why the sound was so bad.

                          pig destroyer sounded fine, minsk was indecipherable.

                            You couldn't make out Burtal Truth's riffage at all and the bass drum was way too high in the mix. But still good times.

                              Maybe in the back; I was right next to the guitar amp and would estimate that 85% of the riffs came through with clarity and dignity.
