The Inland Empire, a lovely area just east of Los Angeles and Orange Counties in Southern California known as much for its great weather and beautiful deserts as its devastating wildfires and threatening faultlines, is now the epicentre for one of hardcore music’s biggest breakouts, BIG ASS TRUCK I.E.

Over the last year, the five-piece wrecking crew has slayed the scene faster than the Green Goblin big rig from “Maximum Overdrive.” Armed with only a demo and a couple of singles, BIG ASS TRUCK I.E. have managed to dominate the pit with their reckless brand of cataclysmic hardcore at shows with TERROR, COMEBACK KID and STICK TO YOUR GUNS and performances at Welcome To Rockville, LDB Fest, Sound & Fury, Warped Tour and Inkcarceration to name a few.

Nuclear Blast Records is proud to announce the signing of the Truck, who’ve just dropped a rampaging new track/video called ‘BACK-WHEEL STOMP.’

Commenting on the signing and single the band states:
“We’re super stoked to be on Nuclear Blast! They’re such a legendary label that a lot of our influences have been a part of so it’s also a wild full circle moment for all of us to be involved like this! ‘BACK-WHEEL STOMP’ is one of our heaviest songs we’ve made and it’s just the beginning of what we’re ready to unleash with Nuclear Blast.”

Label Manager and Head of A&R for Nuclear Blast America, Tommy Jones, adds:
“Whatcha gonna do when THE TRUCK runs wild on you?!?”

Born in the inland empire. Fueled by diesel and bad decisions. 2000 horsepower breakdowns. 12-ton riffs. Anyone in the way catches the back wheel stomp. Not a band. A wrecking crew on bald tires. BIG ASS TRUCK I.E. isn’t here to partake in hardcore. It’s here to run it over, back it up, and run it over again. Big riffs. Big energy. BIG ASS TRUCK.
