Unbelievable Truth

British Alternative Rock Band: Unbelievable Truth was a British alternative rock band formed in Oxford, England, in the mid-1990s. The band consisted of vocalist and guitarist Andy Yorke (brother of Radiohead's Thom Yorke), guitarist Nigel Powell, bassist Jason Moulster, and drummer Jim Crosskey. They gained attention for their melodic songwriting, introspective lyrics, and atmospheric soundscapes.

Debut Album "Almost Here": Unbelievable Truth released their debut album, "Almost Here", in 1998 to critical acclaim. Produced by Nigel Powell and Andy Yorke, the album featured a mix of dreamy pop melodies, lush arrangements, and emotionally resonant lyrics. Tracks like "Solved", "Higher Than Reason", and "Settle Down" showcased the band's ability to create atmospheric and introspective music that captivated listeners.

Commercial Success and Tours: "Almost Here" received positive reviews from music critics and achieved moderate commercial success, earning Unbelievable Truth a dedicated fan base in the UK and beyond. The band toured extensively in support of the album, sharing the stage with notable acts such as Radiohead, R.E.M., and Travis. Their dynamic live performances and compelling stage presence helped to further solidify their reputation as a promising up-and-coming band.

Follow-Up Albums and Musical Evolution: Unbelievable Truth released two more albums after "Almost Here": "Sorrythankyou" in 2000 and "Misc. Music" in 2002. These albums showcased the band's musical evolution, incorporating elements of indie rock, folk, and experimental music into their sound. While they received positive reviews from critics, the albums did not achieve the same level of commercial success as their debut, and the band eventually disbanded in 2000.

Nigel Powell went on to become a successful producer and musician, working with artists such as Frank Turner and The Unthanks. Andy Yorke released solo material and collaborated with other musicians, while Jason Moulster and Jim Crosskey continued to be active in the music scene. Despite their relatively short-lived tenure as a band, Unbelievable Truth's music continues to be celebrated by fans of alternative rock for its emotional depth and melodic beauty.
