Unbelievable Truth are a British band, led by Andy Yorke and also formed by Nigel Powell, Jason Moulster and Jim Crosskey.
The band formed in 1993 in Oxford, and was named after Hal Hartley's film, The Unbelievable Truth.
Unbelievable Truth's first single, Building, was published in February 1997 by Shifty Disco, a label based in Oxford. They released their first album, Almost Here, in 1998 on Virgin records, and the second, Sorrythankyou in 2000. The first was released on Virgin, but they were dropped and the latter appeared on Shifty Disco. Sorrythankyou was the first release from Shifty Disco that was pressed in vinyl. They split up in 2000, due to Andy Yorke's decision to leave the band.
However, in 2001 they released a double album, self-published, called Misc. Music, whose disc 1 contained b-sides and unreleased tracks, while disc 2 was the live recording of their farewell show held at the Zodiac in Oxford on September 16th, 2000.
The band reunited for a one-off gig in Oxford to support tsunami victims on February 19, 2005.
Andy Yorke released solo album Simple in 2008.
In 2024 the band re-formed, after a couple of shows in 2023 to mark the 25th anniversary of the release of Almost Here.
In March 2025 the band released their first new material in over 20 years, the EP Citizens Band. .
