Huge Update from Truth & Its Burden

Hey Ladies & Gents!
Its been a long while since any update has surfaced from this neck of the woods. Anyway, We have been extremely busy with a ton of stuff, with that said, we bring loads of news.

Truth & Its Burden – New Bassist Announced!

As most folks already know, our long standing bassist Matthew is no longer with Truth & Its Burden. After a long search and mere seconds to spare, we have found a suitable lad. We would like to welcome Niekie Van Niekerk to the Truth & Its Burden family, we hope your stay will be a long and fullfilling one matey! Niekie, is currently working on our current set list with the addition of some new material we’ll be adding in.

Hope Haven Records – Webstore Update:

I have been speaking about this for a while now and things have been rather slow in that department. It is currently being developed by our friend Sean @ The New Language. I sorta messed him around with design and layout and its taken a little longer than expected. Hopefully this will be up and running sooner than later.

Truth & Its Burden (ZA) + Oceans With Tragedy (NL) Euro Tour:

A short while ago, we started booking dates for a Euro tour with our friends from Oceans With Tragedy in Holland. We’re mere days away from flying over to Europe for our first ever overseas tour. To say we’re excited is an understatement. We’ve spent endless nights working hard to book shows and promote our tour over that side, so we hope that all goes well. See the tour dates below. We are still looking for dates in Europe, so if you could assist us with something, please send through an e-mail to ashley@hopehavenrecords.com

Truth & Its Burden – Euro Tour Benifit Send Off Show

Lastly, we’re calling out all the guys and girls who have supported us over the last two/three years to please support this show. It will be our second last show before we hit Europe. Touring costs and flights are really expensive, so we decided to put together a show to help raise extra funds for the tour. We are desperately trying to generate as much as possible, we have approached various companies to assist with tour sponsorship and its been a bit dry you could say. If you know of anyone that could assist us in any way with any sponsorship for this tour, please get in touch, every bit helps. We really hope to see you at the show. All the bands playing on the night have agreed to help us by playing this show for free. WE THANK THEM TREMENDOUSLY!!!
