Trucker Diablo

One of Northern Ireland’s newer success stories, hard rock outfit Trucker Diablo have been hitting the live scene hard this past 15 years and gathered some unbelievable accolades along the way. Namely, supporting the Foo Fighters, playing the rock and metal hallowed grounds of Donington Castle at Download festival, receiving worldwide airplay including MTV Headbangers Ball, dipping their toe in the gaming world with live favourite ‘Drink Beer, Destroy’ featured on Rock Band 3 on the XBOX.

Trucker have been going from strength to strength in past 4 years since the pandemic with their skeleton shattering live sets, featuring their arena sized back catalog from their previous five albums. Recently Steelhouse festivals, Planet Rock Winters End, Winterstorm and Firevolt Festivals all received the foundation shaking Trucker treatment to rapturous applause and compliment.

Now releasing their “Stadium Sized” 6th Studio new album Social Hand Grenade. Recorded over the course of 2 years, at Manor Park Studios, this album charges at you headlong, a glorious rush of metal, rock and general heft.If it were a car, it’d be a gas-guzzling American hot-rod, all chrome, firebird logos and illegal exhausts, just like the full on live Trucker Diablo experience! From the one man office mosh pit crunch of Kill The Lights, to the closer What I See and the juggernaut heft of Dig! This album clocks in under 45 minutes, so you can get your breath back before you hit repeat.
