Steelhouse Appearance: 2018
Genre: Heavy Rock / Blues Rock / Stoner Rock
From: Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
Monster Truck are the rock 'n' roll equivalent of a V8 engine – raw, thunderous, and built to crush. Hailing from the Canadian heartland, they burst onto the scene with a sound that fuses Southern-fried riffs, soulful vocals, and stadium-sized grooves. If Lynyrd Skynyrd and Black Sabbath had a rowdy Canadian cousin, this would be it.
With slogans like “Don’t F** With the Truck,”* they bring old-school rock attitude with a modern crunch – and when they hit Steelhouse in 2018, the mountain definitely shook.
Debut record full of riff-fuelled firepower.
Sweet Mountain River, Seven Seas Blues
The breakthrough – bigger riffs, louder choruses.
Don’t Tell Me How to Live, For the Sun
Released just after their Steelhouse set – featuring a collab with Dee Snider!
Thundertruck, Evolution
Leaner and meaner, this one packs punch and polish.
Golden Woman, Live Free
Monster Truck rolled into Steelhouse like a juggernaut. With searing organ tones, greasy riffs, and Jon Harvey’s gritty vocals, they owned their sunset slot. They might’ve only played once – but it was a set that turned heads and twisted necks.
Forum Rating: ★★★★☆
Most Likely To: Drive a beer-soaked singalong in a field full of denim
Fans Of: Clutch, Rival Sons, Black Stone Cherry, The Answer
