Truck Violence – The Weathervane Is My Body
Truck Violence The Weathervane Is My Body A cathartic blast of blaring noise rock from the Montreal four-piece The weathervane is my body by Truck Violence Two weeks before their debut Violence hit the shelves, Truck Violence’s home burned to the ground.

What is surprising, however, is that it’s lacking the fury that you might expect from a band renowned for channelling rage into...

Utilising an obsolete MCI console with a built-in high-pass filter and a homemade tape delay, Tubby’s sonic alchemy yielded a distinctive sound that was totally unlike that of his peers, making his...
