Fast-rising Bristol rockers SPLIT DOGS herald the release of their hotly anticipated second album with a brand new video.
'Monster Truck' is taken from Here To Destroy, which is out on 28 February through Venn Records.
"'Monster Truck' is about lessons learnt, seeing it coming but you keep on trucking,” says guitarist Mil Martinez. “Focus on yourself and the good stuff around you. Be strong, lead with an open heart. Don’t take kindness for weakness…. You better not tread on me!"
The video, directed by Chris Hugall, was made with the participation of Big Pete Ltd and his monster trucks. "When we wrote our new single ‘Monster Truck’ it was a no-brainer that we had to find the best Monster Truck team in the UK to join us for the video so on the hottest day of the year, we hit the road! Big rigs, big riffs and big moves, it’s time to grab your gear stick and get your mind out of the dirt!”
