Riding the wave of their critically acclaimed, JUNO Award-nominated self-titled album, Canadian rock powerhouse The Damn Truth are turning up the heat ahead of the worldwide release of The Damn Truth (Deluxe Edition) on 11 September 2026 with the release of their explosive new single “Killer Whale” on Tuesday, 25 August 2026, complete with a brand-new music video.

The Damn Truth (Deluxe Edition) is available to pre-order HERE.
Exploding from the band’s acclaimed self-titled album, “Killer Whale” is a live-wire fan favourite that has become a highlight of The Damn Truth’s electrifying shows. Produced by Bob Rock (Metallica, Bon Jovi, Aerosmith), this adrenaline-fuelled rock anthem surges with power, hope, and celebration.
Says the band –
“In true rock n roll fashion Killer Whale started with a banging guitar riff. Screaming through the vintage amp we knew we had something special with this song. Bob heard it too when we recorded it in Vancouver at The Warehouse Studios. The song itself is not about heartbreak. It’s about what gets left behind after all the noise has gone.
“Night after night, all over the world, “Killer Whale” gets the rock ‘n’ roll party started early in the set, lighting the fire that burns through the full 90 minutes of pure rock ‘n’ roll that is The Damn Truth.”
The release of “Killer Whale” offers fans excitement and celebration as one of the standout tracks from the Deluxe Edition album. The new single also coincides with The Damn Truth’s UK tour which kicks off with a free acoustic session at The Gibson Garage in London from 2 –2:30pm on Thursday August 27th.
The Gibson Garage acoustic session is open to the public. Entry is available on a first-come, first-served basis. Fans are advised to show up early on the day, to ensure admission to the rare and intimate acoustic performance. Address: 61–62 Eastcastle Street, London, W1W 8NQ.
