Canada's Truck Violence howl through the harsh edges of hardcore and folk with an ending result that is both comforting and confrontational. Their second full length record— The weathervane is my body— is an attempt to answer, an attempt at conciliation through refusal. Rooted in the noise rock and post-hardcore traditions, and steeped in a DIY ethic that runs deep in Canadian underground culture, the album is uncompromising in its refusal to be anything other than what it is: immediate, self-determined, and built entirely by the hands that imagined it.
Ahead of The weathervane is my body LP release (June 26 via The Flenser), Truck Violence have shared their latest single / music video "Gerard, be quiet." They comment:
"Closing your eyes on the way to school,
following along the bus’ route by way of memory
and of imagination.
Certain turns happen as expected,
your intuition the product of that pittering
mundanity;
Satan is lifted from vacuity, guided by the hand.
Eventually are lost, are tossed first left,
now right, and then are subject to a nondescript jostling.
You always reach school in the end."
