This week, we are joined in session by the Montreal-based four-piece punk band Truck Violence! Truck Violence go beyond the confines of punk: drawing on influences from back home in Alberta, where vocalist Karsyn Henderson and guitarist Paul Lecours are from, the band paint visit pictures of life in the prairies with both their music and words, centred around Karsyn’s captivating poetry. Musically, they occasionally draw on country music, even featuring the banjo.
The band joined us before their set at The Handlebar in Toronto to talk art, poetry, authenticity, Alberta and their 2024 debut album Violence. You will also hear 3 songs performed at that show: 1. Undressed you layn't before 2. Lecture 3. Guns buried in the front yard.
Unfortunately, the only place we could record this interview was outdoors, so I apologise for the occasional street noises and jackets rustling. EQ can do a lot but it's not magic! And thank you to the band for braving -10ºC weather to chat poetry with me for 20 minutes.
