True Story House culminates an era's worth of inhumane manipulation of commoditized existence
Their live performances are cerebrally expansive, anti-system, anti-oppression, yet cleverly pro self-actualization; healing rock music through senseless suffering while sticking it to the man.
True Story House is the measure of “immeasurable harm” that Friedrich Nietzsche described at the beginning of our modern era, citing that morality, or any synthetic system, is antagonistic to human life.
Nietzsche was the German who, on the heels of the British empire collapsing, witnessed something brewing in his homeland that smelled a lot like a whites-only global takeover and fiercely believed all systems were designed to antagonize [life] and were critically harmful to the [human] race.
Nietzsche’s philosophy bolstered the works of Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud and had a fundamental influence on modern psychology as we know it in the western world, highlighting the strengths and expansion of individual existence, critical to mapping the destructive limitations environment and system imposed on the mind.
Now, with high definition video streaming of global colonization, capitalist greed, and genocide at our fingertips, True Story House carries the philosophical torchlight of human dignity in their music to orchestrate a century’s capstone of “slave morality” by providing an abandoned troubadour’s lifetime of cruel evidence as testimony to Nietzsche’s observations and assessments from centuries of imposed morality.
Community, acceptance of self and others, is the only antithesis to system.
Zoom in to learn how a thing works; zoom out to neutralize the display as interpreted by your lens; then zoom out further to learn how it’s all manipulated by what you perceive you lack. Evict the establishment of institutionalized lacking and become your own community structure of acceptance; seize your agency to exist.
True Story House, at the arroyo rock slide of grave system collapse in our modern era, is community for all who dissent, broadcasting in the clear for self-acceptance, the noble protagonist of human agency.
Since we are short on time, we don’t have to read volumes of Nietzsche to fully understand the harm system does for humanity; we can simply listen to any True Story House song, in any random order, and they provide real life, modern day, real time products of its failures.
This deep dive (summary) was loosely inspired by Johnny Wilson, Jeff Wilson (no relation), Matthew Tobias, Paul Wright, and Alex McMahon and serves as a brief overview of a much larger aggregate of modern-day western philosophy moonlighting as my playful and cosmic thoughts on the musical project that is True Story House and the shadow workers who make it happen. Their message has pre-history gravity and I wrote a comprehensive philosophical essay on their music that may or may not ever successfully envelop all the tenets of human existence through their musical metaphors. But I know a few that fit strikingly well, unironically.
Stay tuned. May do some bootleg tapes (propaganda leaflets) and scatter them around the city.
