What do you think makes Trucker Diablo stand out?

I think the appeal of Trucker Diablo is the pure honesty that lies at the heart of the music and I think people relate to that.  We are 4 hard working guys and we write about real stuff and there’s no bullshit with us.  What you see is what you get....

Could you describe the live Trucker Diablo experience?

It’s a hard rockin’ sonic kick in the balls that gets gently rubbed better as you get to know the songs.  We love interacting with the crowd, having a laugh and rocking for your aural pleasure.

What’s next for Trucker Diablo?

We have some more shows lined up before the end of the year, some festivals and some showcases.  We will be featured on the April issue of Classic Rock and our tune “Drink Beer, Destroy” will be featured on the cover mount CD. We are also talking to a record company at the mo and just seeing how that’s gonna ride out. We will be starting the second album at the end of 2011.

Finally, is there anyone you want to thank?

Our families for believing in us and supporting us and our fans and promoters, they really are the fuel that drives this truck.
