Biography

Comedy rockers the Truth Rockets formed in Edinburgh, Scotland, when vocalist, guitarist, and songwriter Kenny Haining met bassist Greg Haddow and drummer Steve Orr at university. Inspired by the rise of the Internet and the subsequent access to limitless information, the trio formed the Truth Rockets and began playing regional gigs. After releasing Abandon Sheeple on Silent Child Recordings in 2006, the group broke up the following year. Haining continued to record and perform music as a solo singer/songwriter. ~ Katherine Fulton, All Music Guide
