The Congregation drop new album

The Congregation is a Canadian band ushering in a revival of rock n’ roll music. Led by the multi-award winning songwriter Clayton Bellamy, the band is his next step in his sonic evolution after selling more than half a million copies worldwide with his previous projects.

Clayton’s accolades form an almost endless list of achievement, with some of his highlights being nominated for Producer of the Year at the 2017 Western Canadian Music Awards, co-writing the certified Gold single “Found” by Dan Davidson – which also won an Alberta Country Music Award for Song of the Year – and five-time CCMA Award winner with The Road Hammers.

He’s also had more than one Platinum certified release such as The Road Hammers’ album and their single “Mud”, as well as releasing two solo albums and hosting CMT’s Ice Racer Showdown series between 2015 and 2016. No doubt a truly accomplished and prolific artist, more recently he’s linked up with HMA winning producer Dan Weller, who’s previous credits include Enter Shikari and Sikth, and Grammy winning mixer Adrian Bushby, who’s worked with the Foo Fighters and Muse, to collaborate on his latest album with The Congregation.

Following on from the band’s first top 20 single, “Soundtrack to the End of the World”, The Congregation have just released their new record, titled The Ugly Truth. Featuring “Soundtrack to the End of the World” alongside five other original tracks including the lead single “Lie To Me”, with The Ugly Truth the band justify the hype around their work and create a release worthy of their talents as songwriters and musicians.

Full of punchy rhythms, gritty guitar work and soaring vocal lines carrying fiercely catchy melodic writing, on The Ugly Truth The Congregation lay down a blistering modern rock sound that provides a familiar nod to the pioneers of the style, while still sounding fully fresh and new.
