Truckfighters return to the US for another tour in May, DON’T MISS THEM!

April 15, 2014

Last month we caught Truckfighters perform at the DNA Lounge in San Francisco. They put on one of the most energetic, fantastic and entertaining performances I have seen in a long time. These Swedish ROCKERS know how to put on a show!! If you missed them, don’t worry they are coming back to the US for another tour starting in May. Make sure to catch them live, here are the tour dates:   When I first saw Truckfighters, the singer reminded me of Kurt Cobain, the guitarist reminded me of Angus Young and the drummer remind me of Tre Cool.  It was like I was watching a supergroup as these charismatic and intense musicians gave it a 150% and rocked the crowd from start to finish. You can check out a tribute video that Rockin Ryan made from footage of their set at the DNA Lounge. Then I am sure, you won’t want to miss them!! Also be sure to head over to Itunes and pick up their latest album Universe. ~ Marisol     [Read More]
