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 [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IjiqL6fcII&feature=youtu.be] [Read More]
