The Making of TRUTH OR DARE

It’s always fun to see how a project is made, so we have made a point of documenting all the steps we’ve taken to bring Truth or Dare to life, starting from early rehearsals, scratch recordings, live tests, and so on.

One of our very earliest performances of “Truth or Dare”, as we were still working through details of the song, and before we even knew that Blind Phoenix would be a thing!
