Product Description
Serena, Kiley and Tess are three sisters on mission to wake up the world. They are off to darn good start on Achieving Peace Through Non-Violent Protest, an album dedicated to the beliefs and teachings of Gandhi.
I was a bit perplexed at first to the references of progressive rock. They are more progressive with their structure of words in every song. For a band of teenage girls, they carry a powerful message that slaps you in the face with truth and a firmly grounded standpoint.
Many of their tracks have snappy electric guitar lines and a bit of sax & flute, which gives it a progressive flavor. There are many positives going on here and I had to give it a good chance because of the causes the girls get behind and all the good work they do. I found myself nodding my head in agreement with their words. The second half of the CD, tracks 8-12, is all unplugged versions of songs you just heard, and very good, I enjoyed it even more as the album wore on.
What you have going on here are some enlightened youngsters that have been inspired by bands from the sixties and a lot of encouragement from their parents to succeed. They cover a variety of important topics from child abuse to world hunger; all of these are areas that we need to pay more attention to and address proactively without violence. In addition, I should mention the exceptional all-around musicianship that was a highlight throughout this CD.
Serena and Kiley play the guitar, and all of them sing lead and backup. I should say though that they all write and quite prolifically. They get some stellar support from Jeff Moore (guitars and bass), Sean Walsh (guitars), Poppy (piano, keyboards), John Rekevics (sax, flute), and Jessie Charnow (drums).
The music and the words of this recording will make their mark as these three sisters continue to develop in every way. They will most certainly be reaching the masses in an immense way as their following grows.

Great Music for a Great Cause by Nothing But the Truth On Earth by Tara Bryce (Dallas, TX)  5 Stars
September 05, 2008
Truth On Earth is a Band on a mission featuring three sisters that sound like a rainbow of old and new, influenced by `60's & `70's rock such as Creedence Clearwater, Lynard Skynard, Jethro Tull, Eric Clapton and Santana.
The band name, lyrical messages and powerful world-changing mission are based upon the work of Mohandas (Mahatma) Gandhi, one of the greatest spiritual leaders of all time and the basis of Martin Luther King, Jrs Civil Rights movement. Gandhi said that Peace could best be achieved through truth and non-violent protest and he proved it for a time by causing the end of a century of British rule over India. One small man had a giant influence. So the band is named in Gandhi's honor to carry on his work and ideals through the universal language of music to a planet that is struggling greatly just as it always has to understand and apply
this very simple and highly effective principle.
The band's main goal is to raise consciousness to a level where, over time, everyone can become part of the solutions instead of just living the experience of the problems. This way the problems can be fixed and the planet can be left in a condition that saves it from destruction and makes it worth inheriting by future generations.
Name one person who thinks this band is a bad idea. Exactly! There isn't any because it's an awesome idea. I'm surprised nobody else has thought about it sooner. There is real social action going on here and they give 70% of their profits to causes making a difference to the problems they sing about like Cyberbullying, child abuse, drug addiction, animal abuse, the effects of war and media over-exposure to name a few.
At truthonearthband.com they have a huge take action page but if you just spend a few bucks on their music you are already making a difference. Buy their music and tell everyone you know to and then round up your posse and get busy on their take action page...

Bono and American Idol can move over. It's time for a serious do-gooder playin Rock music on a Mission that is Sick ! by Rich Blessman (Portland, OR) 5 Stars
September 03, 2008
I recently heard about the new band Truth On Earth at a local OBAMA meeting. The release is called "Achieving Peace through Non-Violent Protest". I haven't ever heard or seen anything quite like this in my lifetime. Here's a band of three nice lookin young ladies. Well their voices sound young but mature. The 12 songs (5 unplugged) are each about major problems in the world and solutions we should be bringing. The music sounds like it is a buffet of folk rock bands of the early 70's which is one of my favorite periods of rock. The backing musicians are hard core and I swear the flute player sounds like the guy who played on Jethro Tull Aqualung. But what's really profound is that each sound is about a key problem the band is trying to help solve. And they give 70% of their profit to the causes so it is not about them.
For example, their name Truth On Earth and the release is based on the life work of Gandhi who believed that the best way to achieve peace was through truth and non-violent protest which was also is the guy who motivated Martin Luther King's Civil Rights Movement. The Truth On Earth mission is to fix the problems and then leave the planet in good condition so future generations will have a planet worth inheriting. Who the heck else do you know that is doing serious music about cberbullying, starvation, world hunger, animal abuse, child abuse and the effects of war and media exposure to name a few?
Just buy their damn music and then you can do what I am doing to make even more of a difference by going to their take action page at truthonearthband.com/action.html and following all the suggestions and getting everyone else to as well.
T.O.E. has released a hard core video on Factory Farming with their song on the subject and they have one coming on Cyberbullying and starvation.
You can listen to all of the songs in generous clips at the web site so I hope Amazon soon supplies any audio samples and iTunes should give a longer sample clips so people can hear more of them and spend more time
This band could change the world significantly in my lifetime, and they already deliver great music in the process. So Grammy's - watch out for them in the best new artist category.
