Ipecac Recordings and contemporary American soul band King Garbage are pleased to present "Monster Truck," the latest single to be lifted from the band’s album Heavy Metal Greasy Love. The album will be released on April 1 and is available to pre-order now.. Digital pre-orders include downloads of pre-release singles ‘Busy On A Saturday Night,’ ‘Piper’ and ‘Peanut Butter Kisses.’

Bass-y piano revs up ‘Monster Truck,’ which the band’s Zach Cooper calls “somewhere between musical theatre and classic rock.” Vic Dimotsis notes, “This song is less ‘sea salt’ and more ‘salt of the earth’. It makes more sense 100 miles outside of any major city and may be one of the few songs ever written to use ‘truck nuts’ in the chorus.”

Vic adds, “Truck Nuts glisten off the back bumper, swinging low with challenging and poetic weight. In the American South, a truck is not just a truck, but an idea. Curiosity shakes its leathery wings in this Joel Seger Springsteen high test musical theatre redline onesie, with stars down the sleeves, blow your tailfeathers off type alpha Stevie Nicks with no intent on ever returning from said pyrotechnics.”

King Garbage, with their contemporary take on American soul, return today with a new single and a Josh Finck directed video, ‘Busy On A Saturday Night.’ The song is the latest song to be unveiled from their forthcoming album, Heavy Metal Greasy Love, which will be released on April 1st via Ipecac Recordings and is available to pre-order now. Digital pre-orders include downloads of the new single ‘Busy On A Saturday Night’ plus two additional pre-release singles, ‘Piper’ and ‘Peanut Butter Kisses.’

‘Busy On A Saturday Night,’ which is available now on all streaming platforms, draws its inspiration from a magnet on that was on the fridge of King Garbage’s Vic Dimotsis’ great grandmother. “It had a sweaty male stripper pictured on it and said, ‘Everything I want is either taken, or busy on a Saturday night,’” laughs Vic. He adds, “Blurry as a memory on a slinky night out. A Tom Waits-inspired roadster awaits high high heels on a sure fire adventure. Losing articles of clothing to the magnet of the pavement, the band plays on through a duct from another world, and our eyes blur from both lust and disgust. Such motion seems still, as the accelerator and brakes lose meaning. A quiet lonely brunch awakens us from a distant stare.”
