The band was formed in 2009 by Jon Harvey (Bass & Lead vocals), Jeremy Widerman (Guitar & Vocals), Brandon Bliss (Organ & Vocals) and Steve Kiely (Drums & Vocals) as somewhat of a side-project for their other more serious bands (The Reason, Saint Alvia). Quickly the original plan of getting wasted and playing sloppy rock got twisted into something new entirely. Everyone's influences gelled in a cohesive and exciting new take on all of the classic rock that had come before them. Quickly show offers piled up as well as festival slots and the band realized that they had something that was undeniably fun and exciting on their hands.
One of the most notable experiences came when the premiere of FUBAR 2 was rolling into TIFF on a flatbed truck driving through Toronto, Canada. The band was asked to come aboard to add their music to a mix of Terry, Deaner and dancing bikini babes. Needless to say a match made in rock n' roll heaven was quickly formed. Other memorable 2010 shows included two different appearances at the Sound Academy. One supporting Steel Panther and a second show for EDGE 102's Xmas bash with Die Mannequin.
Two EP's have been released since the band's inception. The first self-titled EP was recorded by Gus Van Go & Werner F (The Stills, Preistess, Hollerado) and was received with open arms and ears by eager fans in August of 2010. Eager to follow up the recording the band hit the studio and tracked The Brown EP with Eric Ratz (Billy Talent, Cancer Bats, Three Days Grace). The four songs it contains not only shows a firm grasp of the classic roots that enabled this group but also their ability to add in flavours of grunge and punk era greats they loved so dearly.
The band has quickly become known for their live show and the growing confidence on stage is now more apparent than ever. The constant show regiment and recording process is sharpening the band's delivery and there's no doubt that anyone still interested in original and authentic rock music will be compelled to pay attention.

Seven Seas Blues
Monster Truck Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been waiting such a long time
Never thought I'd see you again
Now I'm moving on over through the wind and the rain
For the dare of the dark void over there waiting for me
Whoa whoa,
I got the seven seas blues
I got the seven seas blues
Whoa whoa,
I got the seven seas yeah
Oh my girl if I could hold you
Through the wind and the rain
This trip would be much shorter
I got some tricks you'd be amazed
But baby I got my fleet to go now
You thinking about moving on
Stay with me my pretty darling
I'll be home in not too long
I got the seven
I got the seven seas in blue
I got the seven
Whoa whoa,
I got the seven seas blues
Whoa whoa,
I got the seven seas blues
Whoa whoa,
I got the seven seas yeah
The lyrics for Monster Truck's "Seven Seas Blues" is a story of a sailor waiting eagerly at the seaside for his ship to arrive. The sailor has been waiting for a long time and never expected to see his love again. However, now he is ready to move on and adventure through the wind and the rain to the other side of the dark void. The sailor has the "Seven Seas Blues" which could be interpreted as the sadness of leaving his love and the uncertainty of what lies ahead. The sailor wishes he could take his love along, but he has to continue with his fleet.
In the second verse, the sailor tells his love that he has some "tricks" that would amaze her, but he has to leave and cannot take her with him. The sailor urges his love to stay and wait for him as he exits. He reassures her that he will not be gone for long. The chorus repeats the Sailor's sentiment about the "Seven Seas Blues," emphasizing his sadness and uncertainty. The song overall is a beautiful ode to the difficulties of a long-distance relationship and the enduring love of two people separated by distance.
