WATCH: Monster Truck guarantee when their third album will be released
Immediately after their storming headline slot at Planet Rockstock, Monster Truck singer/bassist Jon Harvey and guitarist Jeremy Widerman caught up with Wyatt backstage.
After Jeremy gave the lowdown on a road crash that could have put the brakes on their Planet Rockstock set – had he seen a doctor – Wyatt asked when their third studio album will see the light of day.
Emphatic in his response, Jeremy said: “Spring! Listen this is my guarantee. If it’s not out by like May of next year, I will leak it myself. I’m not joking. I’m not even… I would welcome a lawsuit because you know what the people who would sue us can’t afford to sue us.
“I will just release it on my own, put it on BitTorrent, put it on LimeWire if that still exists it shut down in 2010… no none of those things exist. I’ll upload it to Napster! No, I’ll upload it to the Planet Rock website and you guys can distribute it. There we go.”
Jon: “Or we’ll make up our own website and do it. We used to do that when we first started, we gave all our music away for free. We didn’t actually have anything for sale until our record label said ‘you should probably try to sell some records.' And we were like ‘Uh, ok! Jeez we didn’t think about that; we were just busy trying this new thing, which is now the normal thing to do.”
Watch the full interview with Jeremy and Jon below where they also confirm their plans to return to the UK in 2018.
Monster Truck’s headline set boasted anthems including ‘Why Are You Not Rocking?’. ‘Things Get Better’ and ‘Don't Tell Me How to Live’ alongside a string of brand new material including the absolute stomper ‘True Rocker’.
