Kill The Truth is the new album by Major Spark
(Available everywhere on 10/2/26)
“A stirring amalgam of garage rock, power pop, psychedelia, and synth-drenched textural soundscapes.” – Music Existence
“[Major Spark] strikes the spirit of the underground.” – CLASH
“Refreshed and rich indie-rock sound.” – The Big Takeover
“Major Spark will take you on a wild ride through the world of music. Armed with a fleet of sensational influences…the band is a transmogrifier of sound.” – New Noise Magazine
“Pure, unfiltered rock ‘n’ roll alchemy.” – Indie Band Guru
"Kill the Truth is highly critical of the current US federal government, but we do not want to cede patriotism to those who support the current administration. There are many amazing people, places and events scattered across the United States, and we want to celebrate the beautiful things that make us unique - and reclaim the flag for the artists, thinkers, athletes, and those on the fringes of society.” - Mark Goodman Major Spark
