Listen to Black Stone Cherry and Monster Truck's charity single 'Love Become Law'
An anthem of unity
Last updated 13th Jul 2020
Black Stone Cherry and Monster Truck have premiered their collaborative single ‘Love Become Law’, released under their joint moniker The Cherry Truck Band.
Earlier this spring during lockdown, Monster Truck guest appeared on Black Stone Cherry’s YouTube series, the Cherry Chats, and they swiftly decided to make sweet music together.
In May, two bands united over a series Zoom video calls to pen a song from scratch, giving fans unprecedented fly-on-the-wall access to watch as the creativity blossomed from the safety of Black Stone Cherry and Monster Truck’s homes.
The resulting complete song is entitled ‘Love Become Law’ and it’s a riff-heavy behemoth of a tune packed with urgent lyrics about unity and peace in these turbulent global times.
‘Love Become Law’ is available to purchase RIGHT HERE with all proceeds going to two charities respectively picked by the bands - The Boys and Girls Club of America (chosen by Black Stone Cherry) and the Black Lives Matter Foundation (chosen by Monster Truck).

Black Stone Cherry said of ‘Love Become Law’: “The idea of The Cherry Truck Band can honestly be credited to the pandemic that our world is in. We saw tour after tour being cancelled and so many bands were turning to live streaming performances online. We put our heads together with our great friends in Monster Truck and decided to do something we hadn’t seen any other bands do to help pass the time while still entertaining fans.
“That idea was to write a song, LIVE to the world and divide it up into segments to show our fans the process of writing and creating. We had never done this with another full band before, let alone do it while we’re live streaming.
“It was incredibly exciting and fun and we are so proud of the song and more importantly, it's meaning! This song is about uniting, being and living as one, and most importantly, loving each and every person that walks this planet. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did creating it for you!”
Monster Truck singer/bassist Jon ‘Marv’ Harvey adds: “The Cherry Truck Band started with a bunch of friends getting together over long distances to create something memorable, meaningful and joyous.
“Over the five weekly episodes, our entire world basically turned upside down. The people were rising up. The people were tired of being oppressed. The people were tired of suffering for doing nothing wrong. The people were ready to force change. This is our anthem in solidarity to those fighting for basic rights. This is our voices saying, ‘we love you, we hear you, we respect and love you’. Black lives matter. Without the impact of black culture, there would be no modern music, period. Respect, protect and celebrate diversity. Our world depends on it”.
