The Truth was a British rock band, who existed from 1982 to 1989. They re-formed in 2012 for occasional live performances.

The group was formed by Dennis Greaves, formerly of Nine Below Zero, and Mick Lister in the early 1982. They went through several line-up changes, but Greaves and Lister remained members throughout the group’s run. 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. Several songs from the album were also used in the 1987 cult sci-fi film The Hidden. After 1989’s Jump they disbanded. In 2012 Dennis Greaves re-formed The Truth and they played at London’s Borderline on October 26, 2012. More dates are planned for 2013. The line-up is the original 1983 line-up of Dennis Greaves, Mick Lister, Chris Skornia and Brian Bethell, with Steve Phypers.
