PAIN OF TRUTH

Long Island, New York's Pain of Truth have become a formidable force in the hardcore punk scene since their formation in 2020. Anchored by vocalist Michael Smith, the band quickly gained traction with their 2020 demo No Blame… Just Facts and their Daze Records debut album, Not Through Blood, in 2023. Their sound is a relentless barrage of roaring guitars, whiplash bass, and explosive drumming, often featuring a host of notable hardcore collaborators. Expect a powerful blend of old-school aggression and modern swagger.
