Unlocking the Truth-The Most Brutal Sixth Grade Band Ever?

Unlocking the Truth is a band of three sixth graders, Malcolm Brickhouse, Jarad Dawkins and Alec Atkins

They've been busking in time Times Square.


I came across an interview here;
noisey.vice.com...

Malcolm and Jarad have known eachother since day one—literally—and they met their bassist, Alec, in daycare.

They are learning the realities of show biz are brutal as well;

We had to pay for hot chocolate, it came out of our expenses.

We love street music and street performers in general. Here in New Orleans we have more than our fair share.
Every city should make room for youngsters to jam!

Wow! They're very good for their age! They definitely need some vocals and a little maturity. But they're good!

I just hope they keep playing, they could be amazing by the time they are adults.

I have seen to many talented kids stop playing and end doing something they hate.

A fine job-- bumped in with enthusiasm! These guys are maybe
diamonds in the rough, if they can get a handle on the chocolate
monkeys.
But as they mature it'll probably branch out: why am I thinking of
Morello right before he started growing some hair...especially
when his fingers get as big as the board?

Dream band with three guitars in it will probably always
be Vern Reid, Tom and Steve Morse... if I could cram
all that ego into one studio at the same time.
What.. Color It Ragein' Purple-- the fans'll be called CIRPs.
(sound like 'k' in front)
The material would be so awe blasto it'd make you cry
like a baby just picking up the CD ROFL

They're very good to be so young. Long live rock and roll.

This takes me back, living at home listening to my little brother playing just like this. Most usually I would tell him to turn it down, up the volume went on the amplifier.

Oh how I miss those days. Not really...

Very cool! Give them a few more years and they could be playing right up there at the level of Tosin Abasi from Animals as Leaders. Good stuff, thanks for sharing!

Recess is over kids, go back to the Julliard School.

Rock on.

That was amazing!!!!!!!!!!! If they are that good now, can you imagine in years to come????? That just blew me away! Rock on little dudes!

or maybe these guys.

That was awesome. As a fellow musician although of a different genre, I enjoyed to see such creativity from young minds and also hope they stick with it.

There will be rough times along the way, but what does not defeat them will only make them stronger.

They are BRUTAL!. Well done, lads, you rock. Keep it up, and stay away from that hip-hop crap.

@OP, thanks for sharing.

A lot of hip-hop sucks, but I'm sure the same could be said of metal... the key is to find the good stuff. Example:

Wow I'm impressed, as a guitar/bass player, and member of a few bands for 30+ years. Not my taste in music but..

For a three piece they sounded heavy. They were tight. The drummer was good, none of them were trying to be too flash, as younger players often do. Yeah, with a good singer they would be a band to watch for.

In the UK it's common for bands to get started at that age, even recording and releasing materiel. In America the bands all tend to be older before they get big.

There was a great band called Eater who were all school kids, about 16, who told Johnny Rotten, when he was still in the Pistols, he was too old.

This is awesome. I like seeing kids getting into music, it's so heartbreaking to see them always in front of a screen... Wasting their childhood days away inside playing games that simulate outdoor fun...

::up go little dudes! rock it!

Nice!!! I'm gonna keep an eye on these fellas!

Go check out their Facebook Page, y'all! Unlocking the Truth Facebook Page

Thanx for sharing!

*flails*
They remind me so much of the Bad Brains !!!
They were a two piece initially apparently . They need a strong vocalist ,and bam ,that's it .
They should be signed already .
They're even younger than Cherri Bombs

Love it.

This brings back memories. Discovering drop D and power chords, and trying to look cool while you shred.

They are talented, and if they stick to it, the only way is up.
