Where there are big rigs and fuzz, one must not be surprised to encounter Truckfighters. Sweden’s foremost deliverers of high-octane fuzz, fresh off a US tour, have today posted a new video for the eight-minute jammer “The Chairman,” from their upcoming EP of the same name. It’s the band’s first release in four years, so even more interesting to hear how they’ve progressed in that time from the riffy contemplations of Mania, and “The Chairman” finds the Örebro trio working in jazzy noodling guitars with the expected blast of energetic groove and underlying melody.

Seems like wherever these guys go sound-wise, they always manage to make it a good time. “The Chairman” will reportedly be joined by live tracks on the EP, but if this is the only taste we’re getting of new Truckfighters heading into 2014, which will hopefully bring a studio full-length, at least it’s a substantial one.

Enjoy:

NEW MUSIC: “THE CHAIRMAN” EP OUT IN OCTOBER

Us being lazy? Don’t you dare even thinking of it. We just finished a full EP, featuring the video track “The Chairman”. It does feature a fuzzy live recording of “Desert Cruiser” (taped in Australia this year) and will be released on a nice heavyweight 10″ vinyl outside the US. Release date is Oct 4th outside North America.

In the US, the EP will come as a 4track 12″ vinyl, carrying 3 lengthy live tracks along “The Chairman”. The US version will be out later in October as well.

The digital EP always comes with 4 tracks and is available by Oct 4!
