Music like unlocking the truth

Unlocking the Truth is an American metal band hailing from Brooklyn, New York. Formed in 2007, the trio consists of Malcolm Brickhouse (guitar/vocals), Jarad Dawkins (drums), and Alec Atkins (bass).

Founding members Malcolm Brickhouse and Jarad Dawkins met each other at a birthday party in 2005. Sharing similar tastes in music, they decided to create a band. As the metal duo’s street performances started gaining attention, Brickhouse and Dawkins felt their band needed a bassist but none of their friends were musicians. So they taught their pre-school friend, Alec Atkins, how to play the bass guitar from scratch. These street performances in Times Square and around New York City led to people recording and uploading videos of them to YouTube, which garnered a lot of attention through social media.
