Three Chords and a Half Truth is the ninth studio album by American punk rock band Face to Face, released on April 9, 2013, through Trevor Keith's Antagonist Records, under exclusive license to Rise Records, their first album for Rise. This is the last Face to Face album to feature guitarist Chad Yaro.[2]

The album's first single, "Right as Rain", was released on March 5, 2013. The single marked a change in style for Face to Face, a departure from their fast punk rock sound, into a more mid-tempo, layered classic punk sound. The album has been compared to those of Social Distortion, The Clash, and John Mellencamp.[3]
