Most youngsters who rock out in their garages or spare rooms dream of opening for their heroes, but the closest they ever come is plucking a few strings for family and friends.
Every now and again, though, a story comes along that breaks the mould.
The youngsters who make up ‘Unlocking The Truth’ are the central characters in that story, and if you haven’t seen their documentary it’s time you educate yourself.
Here’s a brief overview:
BREAKING A MONSTER begins as the three members of band UNLOCKING THE TRUTH are all in 7th grade, spending their weekends playing a blend of heavy metal and speed punk in Times Square – often drawing substantial crowds. They take on a manager: a 70- year-old industry veteran. With his guidance they are soon on their way to a 1.8 million dollar record deal and a precarious initiation into the music industry.
This movie has been a while in the making, because they actually made history back in 2014 when they became the youngest act ever to perform at Coachella.
Here’s a fan video of them in action:
Their first album is set for release on June 17, titled ‘Chaos’, so here’s hoping it all goes well for the youngsters.
