To hear Truckfighters’ music, is to hear the sounds of the desert. It’s in their wide open expanse, it’s in their grand open groove and dust-caked metal riffs. You can hear progression and imagination. This is a band bred on the California badlands, on sprawling vistas and parched wilderness. There is just one thing. They’re from Sweden. “We have the exact opposite weather and landscape to California,” says the band’s guitarist Niklas ‘Dango’ Källgren. “But there is a wilderness there, so I think we share something with people who make music in desert landscapes: we both do it in places where there aren’t many people around. Maybe that’s why we can tap into those sounds. You can create big empty spaces in music whether you are in the California desert or whether you are in Sweden.” “We try to make music that will last, that will be around for a long time. We’re not aiming to write anything hip, we try to be timeless. We’re not trying to adapt to anything that’s popular or write hits, and I think that’s our strength. “I think people like us because they know we’re writing music we love. We’re not chasing a crowd, we’re doing what makes us happy and that gives our songwriting a lot of integrity. We do things they way we like it.” Being in front of crowds, sweat-sodden and crazed is where they are happiest. It’s why a Truckfighters show is such a wild, free-form, charged affair.
