Canadian rockers Monster Truck to play Birmingham

Following on from their storming European arena tour with Nickelback, Canadian juggernaut rockers Monster Truck will be returning for a UK in their own right.

They bring their Why Are You Not Rocking? tour to Birmingham's Institute 2 on Friday, March 17.

Rave reviews followed their UK run of the tour dates with Nickelback, and to go along with the new announcement they have released a brand new stomping psychedelic animated video for track For The People.

Talking about the video, frontman/bassist Jon Harvey said: '"We wanted the video for For The People to capture a certain vibe. The song was intended to be a pseudo-protest and very roots rock and the 70s style animation seemed to speak that. Besides, nothing is cooler than hand-drawn animation."

Guitarist Jeremy Widerman adds: "We wanted to try something new with the video and have a somewhat playful take on what is a really heavy topic these days. A throwback video of sorts to a time when the unifying of people and ideas was a far more popular subject."

Their latest album Sittin' Heavy was released early last year and has received rave reviews.
