1) Truth Decay was an early 90's hardcore punk rock band from Sheffield, whose members would prove influential in keeping the Sheffield punk scene alive.
The band was initially a 3 piece with Rich (bass), Jake (drums), and Darren (guitar). They recruited Stu (vocals) in early 93 and spent the next 3 years touring the UK and Europe (czech republic mainly). They released "Another Day Wasted" on Step One records, however, just before this release, Darren left the band (after recording a czech only 10") and was replaced by Ade.
The band was constantly changing its line up until they split in late 98. One further 7" appeared, and the band have played together a couple of times since for friends parties.
2)Truth Decay was an early to late 1990s artrock band from Houston, Texas. Bass guitarist/songwriter Ralf Armin, himself an essential contributor to several Houston Noise Bands and experimental hard-rock groups such as Culturcide, The Pain Teens, and a sometime member of Really Red, founded the band with drummer Frank Garymartin after they left the Pain Teens. Later The Pain Teens guitarist Scott Ayers joined the band. They released a single, "White Bunnies", on Charnel Music, and a music video for "White Bunnies" was filmed in Houston in 1997, directed by Tim Thomson and shot by Christopher J. Hogan.
In 1998, the band issued a limited edition, hand-made CD-R called "Sechs" (Schwarzfahren 98/01). The inside screened flap included this liner quote:
"Weathered veterens of the Houston scene, Truth Decay includes former members of the Pain Teens (arguably the best-known-outside-of-Houston postpunk outfit this city's ever produced) and legendary art-punks Ms. Carriage and the Casual Tease. The tall, scary frontman has even played sax on Really Red records, which takes us back to the early Reagan years. So yes, they can be excused for being bitter old bastards, which they are. What'll surprise you is that their music is also so... catchy. They write tight, solid songs, always sharp, often funny and fueled by with guitar pyrotechnics that ought to make big-haired poseurs think about going back to get those dental hygienist certifications their moms are always nagging 'em about. Indeed, TD's weirdly crowd-pleasing arena-rock/punk would qualify as radio-friendly in any other universe but our own. As it is, they work the circuit of local dives regularly. See them grind out an ancient Houston punk masterpiece like "Atomic Bomb" and realize that there have always been great punk rock bands in Houston, that you've probably never heard (or heard of) any of them and that half of them included the guys now in Truth Decay." - Chris Kemmerer.
After disbanding in 2000, Ralf Armin joined the Vulgarians for a while, then Swarm of Angels, and currently he leads a band called Dead Roses.
