INSIDEKNOWLEDGE....................."Oh boy, this is the dirtiest kind of rock n roll you can imagine. Just mix punk and rock n roll . Not just put it in a blender, but use an old fashioned shaker while driving a pickup truck down a steep road. To add some strange parts this band uses razor sharp pop edges." -Martijn/.......................WDUB RADIO........................... "How many times these days does one hear an album that they can say has an original sound? Let me tell all you boys an girls how often--NEVER(with the exception of when I got the C.D. Truth album Chemically Dependent). With song writing that never grows to be the same as the last song and loops that deliver you from flawless part to flawless part I loved every last second from these three from the rubber city." - the Nate/ .........................BLANK GENERATION.......................... "This is a band among bands. Quite possibly one of the best doing their thing in modern society. Their songs seem familiar in a way that its almost like they are singing TO you because of YOU and the things you do. I cant say enough good things about band...and on this their second CD, really prove themselves to be elite among elite! Some great shit here, some great shit. Highly recommended. Learn from stuff like this! Let CD Truth take you to school. Get one NOW! PITH RATING: 10" - Shawn Abnoxious/...........................SPLENDID........................ "-- it's the sort of sound that allows for longevity and relevance in the face of new decades and new movements in pop music. Eschewing balladry and balance in favor of urgent, driving, gut-stabbing waves of distorted guitar, Chemically Dependent makes its point in just over half an hour, and makes it stick. - Philip Buchan/.....................CINCINNATI CITY BEAT...................... "Abrasive but not distractingly punishing, Chemically Dependent is a fiery example of what Punk was meant to be -- bratty, driving and defiant, with gang back-up vocals and swaggering melodies. With "Punk" bands today quickly becoming the new boy-bands, CD Truth defiantly just says "No" to predictability and pandering tunefulness." - m.breen/........................SCENE MAGAZINE.........................From the album's first moment, CDT drops the hammer and never lets up, bashing out a pogo frenzy of Ramones-style buzz-saw chords, go-go beats, and a handful of hardcore sprints. Tongue firmly in cheek, singer-guitarist Jeff Hardy delivers lyrics that recall Cheap Trick, winning by keeping it simple, as in "Gee Whiz": "I think you're great/I think you're really cool/You're really nice/ And you go to school/Gee whiz/ When you're with me/Gee whiz/If the world could see." - D.X. Ferris
Borne from the ashes of Akron's deserted rubber factories, C.D. Truth has been defying gravity for over a decade, and may, very well, be the ones responsible for the destruction of the universe.
