Boston-based indie rock group Major Spark – led by songwriter and vocalist Mark Goodman (Magnet) and producer and multi-instrumentalist Brian Charles (Rare Signals) – is releasing Kill The Truth, Major Spark’s third studio album—a fierce, razor-sharp politically-tinged album for our unprecedented times. “Our new album Kill The Truth is highly critical of the current US administration, but we also want to remind people of the positive elements of our country. There IS something worth fighting for,” shares Major Spark. Nothing was off limits when writing the 10 songs featured on Kill The Truth. Highlighting the threats as well as the patriotism in the U.S. right now, the album takes direct aim at the calculated demolition of the free press and sounds the alarm for a complacent public. Kill The Truth, written and recorded at Charles’ acclaimed Rare Signals studio in Cambridge, Massachusetts, is not an album born of anger for anger’s sake.
It’s a record forged from intelligence, historical perspective, and an unbreakable belief in the power of a great hook. Together, Mark Goodman, a veteran of the indie/underground scene who founded the band Magnet in 1995 and has collaborated with Moe Tucker of The Velvet Underground and David Lowery of Camper Van Beethoven, and Brian Charles, a renowned producer and engineer whose credits include DISPATCH, Marina and the Diamonds, and Weakened Friends, create music that feels timeless yet daring, drawing from eclectic influences while staying true to their indie rock core.
