As Love Amongst Ruin's frontman he takes the lead for the first time in what has already been described as "one of the most explosive live bands to come in 2010”

This multi-faceted rock band promises the crunch of a stone age queen, the crossover appeal of a parkful of linkins and the melodicism of the hardiest fighter of foos. Drop in twists of New Order/Depeche Mode electro-twangle, Can/Kasabian motorika, Cure atmospherics and hardcore Metallica riffage.

Steve Hewitt also served time at the stool of such diverse acts as The Boo Radleys, grit-rockers Breed, baggy chart stars K-Klass with whom he tasted huge global success, sharing the journey from post-Britpop indie hype band to multi-million selling international superstars with Placebo.

The self titled debut album was released on September 13th 2010, preceded by the single SO SAD (fade). The band toured extensively from January 2010 until July 2011 in support of the album and the three singles that were pulled from it. In August 2010 they recorded acoustic versions of eight of the tracks from the debut album. These were released exclusively at www.loveamongstruin.bandcamp.com on December 5th, 2011.

Truth
Love Amongst Ruin Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

In you I do believe
To you I do concede
All the things that I've told you
Keep them inside you
In me you must believe
I never would deceive - my friend
All the things that I've shown
Hope they don't blind you

I thought that things would change
Instead they stayed the same
All the things that you've known
There to remind you
There to remind you

Regrets will cause the pain
Treat them with disdain - my love
They'll cut you right to the bone
Don't let them outshine you
You'll see how things unfold
And how the story goes
All things now have been shown
The truth's gonna find you
The truth's gonna find you

I knew that things would change
They'll never stay the same
Forever just call my name

There to remind you
The truth's gonna find you (8x)
