Sunday Main Stage
Unbelievable Truth
Unbelievable Truth have been a mainstay in Oxford music scene for nearly
six years, possibly clocking up the highest mileage of all other acts in the Truck
line-up. Throughout their career they have witnessed both the plus and minus sides of a
life in the music industry. The evangelical buzz with which the band's debut album
recruited devoted fans around the world borders on unique, but the passionate love was not
equally felt by the major label they signed to, who were unimpressed with the band's
success and promptly dropped them. Like the fans the band picked up on their travels,
Oxfordshire will always welcome the band with open arms, and smugly sit back knowing that
the beauty of the songs reflects the nature of the county. On this homecoming Unbelievable
Truth bear the fruits of their new album, 'sorrythankyou' which are expected to feature
strongly in the band's set. Like the love people have of Unbelievable Truth, the band
exceptional talent at writing songs has not been fractured, managing to be tearfully
fragile, but equally uplifting with hope and joy. Although first timers at Truck festival,
although some members were sighted with a large coldbox full of beer last year,
Unbelievable Truth are veterans of swooning festival crowds with their soft hymnal songs,
and as the sunsets over Hill Farm, they are sure to be the perfect comedown, after a night
of hurty beats, and a day of humungous riffs.
