Truck Violence (Montréal, QC) is a medley that wails its way through the bitters of modern Western Canadian hardcore and folk, an honesty and shamelessness in disappointment that is both a comfort and a stern regard. With the full-length release of Violence (July 5th, 2024 via Mothland), the route was set for the quartet's crashing ode to their roots and violent betterment to continue at full speed. Pitchfork writes: “The Montréal-via-Alberta punks solder together noise rock, sludge metal, bluegrass, and post-hardcore for a forceful—and moving—rejection of stereotypes of their prairie homeland.” (8/10) Playing live shows that are more an expression of pain than concert, regularly tears are shed and blood spilled in the tightened grips of a wholly positive community fostered thereby. The four-piece soon received invitations from significant events such as SXSW, The Great Escape, Roadburn, 2000trees Festival, Outbreak Festival, Roskilde Festival, Mutations Festival, Ieper Hardcore Fest, and M for Montreal, adding dates in North America, the United Kingdom, and Europe. Their sophomore full-length record, The weathervane is my body (June 26th, 2026 via The Flenser & Mothland), is an attempt to answer, an attempt at conciliation through refusal. Highly recommended to fans of Show Me the Body, Chat Pile or The Chariot.
