After releasing several demos in 2001 and 2002, they recorded a split-EP with local Swedish band Firestone in 2003. In 2005 they released their debut album Gravity X on both MeteorCity Records and Fuzzorama Records. Their follow-up album, Phi, was released in 2007 by Poison Tree Records in the U.S. and on the Fuzzorama label elsewhere. Their latest album, V, was released on September 30, 2016.
Their sound has been described as classic desert rock, similar to bands like Dozer, Fu Manchu (with whom they have toured), and Kyuss. They have been featured on the MTV Sweden show "Fuzz"
The film Truckfighters by Joerg Steineck and Christian Maciejewski portrays the band's life. It was released in December 2011 and features interviews with Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age. The film provides an ironic, entertaining view of the three "ordinary" guys who transform into Fuzz Monsters onstage.

* Ozo (Oskar Cedermalm) - vocals and bass

Monte Gargano
Truckfighters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
they had a reason to believe he change the world
The problems they will find if they have to seek
The confidence in man was just so close
The tunnelvision caused them to miss the point
I think it's sad for me to see
It is metaphore for certain process ah
The physicologic lays within the leaders
The mother said it is a crime to trust
The pilot group of men that are the feeders
Could easily rank down to be the readers
I think it's sad for me to see
To get themselfs receiever
The lyrics of Truckfighters' Monte Gargano seem to talk about the fallibility of leadership and how blindly following the wrong leaders can lead to disastrous consequences. The first few lines describe how people believed that a certain leader could change the world but ended up resigning themselves to their fate. The next set of lines talk about how the blind confidence that people had in this leader led them to develop tunnel vision and miss the bigger picture. The song talks about a mother warning her children about trusting people blindly and how the people in power could easily rank down.
The lyrics seem to suggest that there is a certain psychological process that goes on when people blindly follow leaders that they believe will change the world. The song seems to hint at the idea that people need to be more discerning when it comes to choosing their leaders and not blindly follow them without questioning their motives. The chorus of the song makes it clear that the singer finds it sad to see people resign themselves to being receivers of whatever their leaders dish out.

Tried to do the lyrics:) They're hard to understand.
Resignation on a daily so to speak
They had a reason to believe you can change the world
Their problems they’ll be fine if they have to see
Their confidence in man was just too close
The time they wished has caused them to miss the point
What thing is left for me to see
…has been around to zero
I hope
Anybody wants to correct or add?
Great Song!
