Monster Truck giveaway
Monster Truck will tour
the U.S. prior to their May 28th debut release FURIOSITY (Dine
Alone Records). The band commences a run supporting Sevendust
and Pop Evil on May 13 in Rapid City, SD. The full itinerary
follows below. FURIOSITY will be available for pre-sale
beginning April 30. Those who purchase through iTunes will be
instantly given the track “The Giant,” and those purchasing
copies of the CD and Vinyl through the band’s website, will have
options to add other “extras”.
Produced by Eric Ratz (Three Days Grace) at Vespa Studios in
Toronto and Echo Mountain Studios in Asheville, NC, FURIOSITY
showcases Monster Truck’s ability to seamlessly integrate
influences from grunge and punk era greats that they love so
dearly with alt-sounding vintage rock. The resulting album
remains anchored in grooves, yet propulsive and volcanic, fueled
by front man Jon Harvey’s colossal and impressive vocal
delivery. The crushing first single "Sweet Mountain River" was
the most added song at Active Rock radio in Canada by a vast
margin impact week, and has quickly risen in to the Top 10. The
song premiered at GuitarWorld.com in the U.S., and is beginning
to build an airplay story domestically.
Hailing from Ontario,
Canada, Monster Truck was formed in 2009 by Jon Harvey (bass,
lead vocals), Jeremy Widerman (guitar, vocals), Brandon Bliss
(organ, vocals) and Steve Kiely (drums, vocals). What began as a
side-project to their other more ‘serious’ bands quickly gained
momentum and took on a life of its own. The band has released 2
EPs since their inception; a self-titled, and notably
self-released EP produced by Gus Van Go & Werner F (The Stills,
Priestess, Hollerado) and The Brown EP (also produced by Ratz)
on Dine Alone Records.
