Hamilton-based Monster Truck is one of the biggest groundswell stories in Canadian rock this past year with two singles from The Brown EP reaching Top 10 on Canadian Rock radio, a 2013 JUNO nomination for “Breakthrough Artist of the Year” and 2 Hamilton Music Awards under their belt. The band was hand-picked to open for Slash on his 2012 North American tour, and opened sold-out dates for Deep Purple, Clutch and The Sheepdogs. Monster Truck’s debut full-length album will be released on Dine Alone Records in May 2013.
