The American Midwest may have Chat Pile, but from Eastern Canada, we have Truck Violence, a vicious hardcore sludge four-piece that deftly utilizes truncated guitar rhythms, blast bleats, disgusting bass tones, and painful, poetic musings to create a tapestry of frenzied and bitter music about trauma, self-destruction, and community.

Their debut album is full of thematic songs about the darkened thoughts many are afraid to convey and usually sounds and feels like a tormented sledgehammer battering your senses. With all of its instrumental dysfunction, Violence is really an homage to small-town roots and a cry for comfort and love.
