Life changing albums?

None of them have really changed my life but if you're talking about favourite albums then I'd have to go for 'Siamese Dream' by Smashing Pumpkins, 'The Bends' and 'OK Computer' by Radiohead and 'The Soft Bulletin' by Flaming Lips. Most recently I have been listening to 'Nought' by, erm, Nought , 'Kid A' by Radiohead, 'XIV' by Home and 'Agaetis Byrjun' by Sigur Ros. Oh, and 'Fill Me In' by Craig David as well as 'Bummin' Me' by Tru-Steppers.(erm OK!)

How can fans get in touch with your band?

Offers of sexual favours are always a plus but if not then e-mail: greasytrucker@truckrecords.com

What are your plans for the future, releases, tours etc..?

I personally plan to one day actually have more money coming in than going out.
