If truth is so important—so hallowed that we hold it as perhaps our most sacred tenet—then why do we go to such great lengths to deny it the moment it makes us uncomfortable or goes against our narrative?

In 2015 four young and irresponsibly ambitious musicians released their heartfelt understanding of truth in A Dream In Static—a rare and uncompromising debut of emotional gravitas, unconstrained creativity, and song craft well beyond the artists’ individual ages. Following the ADIS album cycle, the members of Earthside began writing their next record immersed in this fiery inspiration … in a way that was both unfamiliar and detrimental to their day-to-day lives. Years of recording and scrutinizing, a pandemic, and nearly 80 minutes of music later, the group’s idealistic ambition and absurd commitment to quality had all but broken them. But good can come from the abrasiveness of confronting the truth and humbling oneself before what we do not fully know and have only assumed. Let The Truth Speak is truly an international affair, featuring vocalists and storytellers from all walks of life and corners of the globe including Daniel Tompkins, Baard Kolstad, AJ Channer, Larry Braggs, Keturah and Pritam Adhikary. The Earthside name has garnered a near cult-like association with quality and ambition—it’s a reputation the members themselves are keenly aware of.
