Unlocking the Truth is an American metal band from Brooklyn, New York. Formed in 2007, the trio consists of guitarist and lead vocalist Malcolm Brickhouse, bassist and vocalist Alec Atkins, and drummer and vocalist Jarad Dawkins. ==History== 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. In 2014, they were the youngest group to perform at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. They’ve performed at the AFROPUNK FEST,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://afropunkfest.com/2013/portfolio/unlocking-the-truth/ )〕 SxSW and were the youngest band to play at the 2014 Vans Warped Tour. The trio have opened up concerts for Guns N' Roses, Motorhead, Queens of the Stone Age, Living Colour and more,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Unlocking The Truth News )〕 while also earning spots in commercials for AT&T, Beats by Dr. Dre, Maybelline and Verizon.
