Frontman Kevin Keegan has made this statement about the inspiration behind Truth and Ruin: "Myself and my bandmates Brock and Dana all work in the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver as mental health, overdose prevention, harm reduction, frontline workers. It’s a real mixed bag of a job and definitely has its fair share of incidents... Finding dead bodies, dealing with the fentanyl epidemic and relentless overdoses as well as working with people with severe mental illness and addiction... My job title is Project Manager at a housing facility for drug users and those with mental health issues. There's a lot of trauma and death in this line of work so you really have to be ready for anything. There's really never a dull moment in this line of work."

CVLT Nation reports: "Riffalicious Rock n’ Fucking Roll! Even though the album draws inspiration from the grim reality of their day jobs, their music gives you a moment of peace and release from whatever bullshit the world’s piled on you that day. Maybe it’s the moments where they break out into a sound so expansive that you start to astral project into some blissful neon universe. Or maybe it’s the heavily-riffed, organ-laced parts that pull you into the darkness of your own soul to dig up your skeletons and burn them. Whatever it is about Dead Quiet, if you love to be pummelled by drums and electrified by riffs and surrounded by the greasy embrace of rock n’ roll, then you’re gonna love... Truth and Ruin."

From Vancouver, Canada, Dead Quiet's blazing jams are marked by soaring vocals, burbling organ, and crushing riffs, resurrecting the spirits of the hard rock and heavy metal titans of the late ’70s and early ’80s. There are traces of Deep Purple, Judas Priest, and Black Sabbath, among others, but Dead Quiet rocks with a prowess all its own.

Keegan is flanked by guitarist Brock MacInnes (of Juno Award winners Anciients), newest member Mike Rosen on keyboards, and the rhythm section of bassist Mike Grossnickle and drummer Jason Dana.

Truth and Ruin was engineered and mixed by Jesse Gander (Japandroids, White Lung) at Rain City Recorders in Vancouver. It was mastered by Alan Douches (Mastodon, Chelsea Wolfe) at West West Side Music in Hudson Valley, NY.
