Trucker
Trucker have been described at various times as "a powerhouse of big Kiwi alt/rock/pop/noise" and "a supergroup of Waikato musicians". Self described as 'intelligent big dumb rock', Trucker blended American
indie-rock, Kiwi Flying Nun aesthetics, early New York punk and "My
Sharona". Twin guitar solos being the key component of any Trucker song,
they were always on the rock side of pop. Trucker taught many a Hamilton
band how to play LOUD.
