Brand New Age, the Swedish band formed by members of The Bristles, Smash It Up, Analrevolt, Jinx, and others in 2024, presents another chapter of working-class authenticity on their second album, Tell Us The Truth. The band delivers a punishing and uncompromising listen throughout the 10-track release, which sees the band members continuing to channel their dissatisfaction with a society that continues to fail the working man.
Tell Us The Truth retains the rawness and immediacy of an band that has been striving to communicate a clear and simple message from the beginning. This is an album that remembers what the Oi! genre is all about – the ability to connect with the audience on a primal level and remind people of the shared history and culture that continues to resonate to this day.
Oi! has always been a genre that exists because people wanted something direct and unrestrained, and Tell Us The Truth is the album that delivers that in spades. Brand New Age are refreshingly consistent in their approach, delivering the message that is pertinent to the core – and for those reasons, this album deserves all the praise it is getting.
