Truckfighters Announce US Tour Dates
Reliably certain you’re in for a good time when Truckfighters take the stage. Doesn’t matter where you might run into them, and they seem to have an endless supply of drummers to accompany bassist/vocalist Oskar Cedermalm and guitarist Niklas Källgren, which is certainly useful. But I’ve been fortunate enough to see them on multiple occasions and in multiple contexts over the last decade-plus since they first came to the States, and have never, not once, walked away disappointed.
Anchored around previously confirmed slots at Desertfest New York and Ripplefest Texas — not taking away from the gig they’re doing with Acid King on Philly, mind you — this tour is by no means the most expansive the Swedish fuzzlords have undertaken in the 20-plus years since their first split EP came out in 2003, but anytime they hit US shores it’s going to be worth showing up for the show they’re going to deliver.
Truckfighters took a hiatus from Feb. 2018 to March 2019, and since touring became possible again post-pandemic in 2022, their focus has continued to be on live activity such that their most recent studio album, V (review here), is now eight years old, having been issued in 2016. Last I saw them was at the tail end of 2022 in Stockholm at their own Fuzz Festival #3 (review here) and in addition to building up that event — the initial lineup for this year was announced last week; Truckfighters will play, as well as 1000mods, Siena Root, Slomosa, Witchrider, Domkraft, Steak, 10,000 Years, Bottenhavet, Daevar, High Desert Queen (returning), Håndgemeng and Grand Atomic — and touring, they also keep plenty busy releasing bands through their label, Fuzzorama Records. Not by any means inactive, is what I’m saying, even if it’s been a minute since they pressed up an LP.
Dates follow, as per socials:
