TRUE NORTH

Rock & soul with a gospel heart.

A soulful new music collaboration from songwriter and musician, Tones Thorburn (previous projects include, Stormporter and Late Model European).

Debut single, No Exit Wound, dropped back in May 2025, garnering high praise from music press and bloggers alike. The sophomore single, On a Prayer with a Broken Wing is OUT NOW. True North's debut EP/album is in the works, with a release date to be announced in the new year.

Produced and mixed by Ben King, and graced with the musicianship of some of New Zealand's finest, these songs cover themes of love, life, pain and healing; showcasing musical craftsmanship fused with True North's signature mix of grit and grace.

You're invited to step in, lose yourself in these songs, and find your true north.

"True North have arrived, not with loud fireworks, but with a quiet emotional explosion. This is music for the thinkers, the feelers, the ones who carry wounds that aren’t always visible but still run deep". — Odyssey Magazine
