A jersey the band put out fueled my whole weight loss start. Well they are dropping their 3rd studio album in May of this year. I have the lead guitarist of the band on my facebook. He sends me a private message yesterday afternoon telling me to come on down (they live about a 40 minute drive from me) and he will preview a couple of the new tunes for me!!! I hop in the shower and drive down. He was hanging at a little hole in the wall record shop running it for a buddy for the afternoon. I got to hang out with him for a while and he played 3 of their new songs coming out! So fucking stoked!!! My wife just rolls her eyes at me. Like I tell her, they may not be all that famous, they may never get to be, I have high hopes they will, they have toured with huge names, Alice In Chains, Deep Purple and Slash even said in an interview a couple years back when asked "Who your favorite band to have open for you has been" he replied "Monster Truck, those boys are a fucking blast" Dee Snider of Twisted Sister can be seen wearing one of their shirts quite often. And I have been there with them from the start! I have a half sleeve tattoo dedicated to them, I have more band merch than anyone going, 2 drumsticks from live shows, have seen them live 17 times. Have hung out a few times now with the lead guitarist (Even cruised around Hamilton with him in my van to drop him off at their jam space after going on a radio show with me about weight loss) It has been surreal to say the least, even if they never make it huge outside of Canada, I have been a part of them and them a part of me. Cant wait for the new album Heres a couple tunes from their last one, check them out, you may enjoy them, if you like ACDC and riff oriented rock, you will like these guys! And I love how they do old school rock videos LOL and one of me covering one of their tunes :-) JohnnyDos, 7Toes, WeednFeed and 9 others 12 Awards

I am by far their biggest fan (they have even gone so far as to say so themselves LOL) You hear of the Grateful Dead lovers, the Beatles Lovers, The Stones, Floyd Well, these guys are right up there with them for me personally. I am a huge Fan Boy when it comes to them, I have 2 jean jackets covered in patches of theres (rocke done of them at the XI fest!) Always wearing their shirts and trying to learn their jams... so yup, male groupie all the way!!! And I dont have to give up fishing, Jer (the lead guitarist) said he wants to go fishing with me this summer!! WeednFeed 1 Awards

This is fun stuff to jam to,I had my guitar out and was rockin' to it !! I grew up listening to stuff like old Rush,Montrose,Foghat and stuff like that.You might want to try and listen to Trouble and Red Fang, Clutch...Red fang is less serious but good straight rock/metal(their videos are funny as shit). Anyways...awesome story and keep it going Storm! it's always cool to meet or hang out with someone you admire in a band.It was like that when I met David Gilmour. I like these guys and will support them Rock Hard Always !! StormCrow and spinpuppy 2
