Eighteen Wheels - Live in Orange County is released!

Download our new album here!

Thank you to everyone who has bought our record in the last 24 hours. Now both albums are searchable in iTunes. We have almost passed some German band of the same name, so keep sharing and supporting us, we really appreciate it. I've been getting lots of liner notes questions, so I will post them here. Before doing so, I have to say some special thanks:

Joe Corcoran has been an amazing friend throughout this process. Although he has many legit projects he works on, he always takes time to work with me on this project. On this record he plays lead and rhythm guitars, does all the harmony vocal work, and has been a regular member of Truckstop since 2008. He also mixed the album and worked with the engineer in the mastering process. His musical instincts and advice were critical in the production of the album. Joe, I cannot thank you enough.

Christopher Allis is an amazing talent and a great friend. He is one of those people you always wish you had more time to hang out with him. He is a true renaissance man. He played drums on this record and has been a regular member of Truckstop since 2009. If you are a musician you cannot help but listen to this record and think "the drummer is holding that whole thing together!"

Jared Leifert is a regular bass player on other projects with Joe and Christopher. Jesse Anderegg, my partner in this project since 2004 was home with his wife Chris while they were having their 3rd child. Jared stepped in prepared and killed it that night. He and Christopher are locked in like Alcatraz. While I missed Jesse not being there, I really appreciated the work Jared did on such an important night for our band.
