Austin's The Gospel Truth have been knocking around since 2007, but it's only been in the past two years that vocalist/saxophonist/keyboard player Mark Tonucci's quartet have really caught fire. All-malicious-intent in a way that runs contrary to this city’s party vibe, they've emerged as one of the town’s top live bands in the process. Not only is it hard to come up with a regional precedent for The Gospel Truth, it’s almost as tough to ID an album as out of time as ‘A Lonely Man Does Foolish Things’. The Flesh Eaters’ ‘A Minute To Pray, A Second To Die’, the Toiling Midgets’ ‘Sea Of Unrest’ or maybe The Black Snakes' 'Crawl' come to mind, but that trio stuck out like sore cocks in their respective eras, too.
