The eagerly awaited debut offering from the True Deceivers, 'risen from the ashes' of the hugely popular Blazing Homesteads. Read the following glowing review from September 2007 edition of Rock n Reel magazine: REVIEW IN ROCK n REEL MAGAZINE, SEPTEMBER 2007 THE TRUE DECEIVERS * * * * “Lies We Have Told ” (A NEW DAY RECORDS) The debut album from Guildford area 5 piece The True Deceivers sees a band that emerged from the ashes of country rockers The Blazing Homesteads staking their claim for recognition amidst the current swathe of Americana-influenced acts. What sets the True Deceivers apart is the classic song writing of front man and guitarist Nick Bliss, that seems to owe as much to the work of Richard Thompson as it does to that of Steve Earle. They ’re at their most lethal on the stabbed-Strat, melody-sodden ‘Comfort Zone ’, and the perfectly balanced ‘Writing On The Wall ’ where a hook line, harmonies and Mark Mitchell ’s fiddle work combine to glorious effect. Full marks too for the ingenuity in tackling Green Day ’s ‘Time Of Your Life ’, which they re-clothe in poignant country garb, coloured by banjo and fiddle, whilst their influence is worn on their sleeves with a sparkling reworking of Steve Earle ’s ‘Galway Girl ’. A thoroughly agreeable debut that occasionally displays a little hesitancy, something we can probably put down to first-album nerves.
