Trucker Diablo are a Hard Rock band from Northern Ireland that have gone from strength to strength, the band was born in 2008 and quickly gained a name for themselves picking up endorsements along the way from their peers
such as Ricky Warwick, Ginger Wildheart, Joe Elliot, Damon Johnson and Cormac Neeson.
2011 saw the band be hand picked by festival promoters to appear at Download Festival and finish off the year supporting Black Stone
Cherry on the sold out Irish leg of their UK tour. Leading right into 2012 the band has their single “Drink Beer, Destroy” feature on Kerrang
TV, MTV Australia and Xbox game Rock Band 3. Following on the boys took 2012 by the throat and played a massive 40 shows, which
including some key highlights from playing Hammerfest with Anthrax, supporting Foo Fighters at Tennents Vital, supporting Terrorvision
on their UK tour, rocking crowds on the main stage at Hard Rock Hell festival and topping off 2012 by supporting their heroes “Thin Lizzy” in
Belfast.
Trucker released their second album “Songs of Iron”, on 14th May 2013 through Ripple Music (USA) and Bad Reputation(EU) and has
received acclaim all over the world . First single “The Rebel” was released 1st February 2013 and second single “Drive” was released at the
start of April. Third Single “Maybe You’re The One” was released in September 2013 and the band recently got tipped as a new band to watch
on the U.S nation rock show, THAT METAL SHOW.
They released their own original Christmas song “We’re Gonna Rock
This Christmas” for charity and their previous single “Drive” made position No.46 out of 50 “Song of The Year” poll in Classic Rock Magazine.
It’s as if the spirits of Thin Lizzy, Cheap Trick and Rose Tattoo have been newly pickled in a cheap whiskey and strapped to a runaway freight
train. Only Louder. A wild celebration of good times and bad behaviour this should be the soundtrack to your summer.
