The Truth

The group was formed by Dennis Greaves, formerly of Nine Below Zero, and Mick Lister in the early 1980s. They went through several line-up changes, but Greaves and Lister remained members throughout the group's run.[1] They released several singles before their first album, Playground, was issued in 1985. The 1987 release Weapons of Love marked a stylistic change, and was their most commercially successful in the United States. The title track was a hit single in the US reaching #7 on the rock charts and #65 on the Billboard Hot 100.[2] After 1989's Jump they disbanded. Dennis Greaves has re-formed The Truth, in preparation for a UK tour in 2012, including a date at London's Borderline on October 26, 2012[3]. The line-up will be the original 1983 line-up of Dennis Greaves, Mick Lister, Brian Bethell and Chris Skornia, with Steve Phypers.
