True North’s debut single, No Exit Wound is a grooving fusion of rock and soul, with an air of evocative mystery.

Emerging from the crossroads of rock and soul, True North, unveil their emotive debut single No Exit Wound. Now available on all major streaming platforms.

True North is the new music collaboration from songwriter/musician, Tones Thorburn, following on from his previous projects, Stormporter and Late Model European.

No Exit Wound is a passionate debut that captures a powerful mix of resilience and introspection. Driven by soulful, mixed-gender vocals, the track delivers a groove-laden sound infused with emotional intensity, leaving listeners immersed in its evocative mystery.

Produced by revered Producer, Ben King, and graced with the musicianship of some of NZ’s finest, No Exit Wound showcases True North’s authentic sound, crafting a musical landscape where passion meets poetic storytelling.

Featuring, Tones on vocals and guitars; Matthias Jordan (Pluto, Come Together) on piano, electric piano and organ; Milan Borich (Pluto, Come Together) on drums; Ben King (Goldenhorse, Grand Rapids) on bass and backing vocals; Sandy Mill (Sandy Mill, The Bellbirds, Basement Jax, to name a few) on vocals; and introducing Edith and Clementine Bainbridge-King on percussion.

Tones exclaims, “The making of No Exit Wound has been quite the ride, with some of life’s speed bumps thrown in along the way. The end result is a song that I hope will connect and resonate with the soul. The heartfelt pull of this song invites the listener to embark on a transformative journey”.

The self–produced debut video for No Exit Wound evokes the theme of light versus darkness; how faith and love will overcome.

No Exit Wound and an EP/album to follow later this year, is a testament to Tones’ resilience, faith and authenticity. True North most certainly has something to say.
