LISTEN: Monster Truck unleash Dee Snider collaboration ‘True Rocker’
Monster Truck have premiered the audio to ‘True Rocker’, their collaboration with ex-Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider.
As the title suggests, the track is an unadulterated three-minute stomper that sees the Canadian band and Dee extol the virtues of rock and roll.
"He’s a true rocker," says lead singer and bassist Jon 'Marv' Harvey. "Who’s more perfect than Dee Snider?"
Feast your ears on the track here:
‘True Rocker’ is the opening track of Monster Truck’s upcoming third studio album ‘True Rockers’, which lands on Friday 14th September 2018 via Mascot Records.
Describing ‘True Rockers’ as the sound of a band letting go and having fun, Jon Harvey says: “We want people to listen to it and have fun, have as much fun as possible.”
Agreeing, guitarist Jeremy Widerman adds: “I mean right off the beginning of the album you hear me scream at Marv. That just kicks off the entire vibe of the album. Us in a room, having fun, joking and yelling at each other.”
Alongside Dee Snider, award winning producers Gavin Brown and Maia Davies were drafted for the songs ‘Evolution’, Young City Hearts’ and ‘Hurricane’.
“We had a chance to work with some hit makers so we took the chance, and what came out is different than anything we have done. Gavin and Maia were fantastic to work with. It added a lot of colour to the record and allowed us the opportunity to take a risk and branch out a little,” explains Harvey.
Elaborating further Widerman adds; “It almost wouldn’t be a Monster Truck record if we didn’t reach the supposed end of the process and then double-back to track a few extra songs in order to strengthen what was already a strong record to us.”
