BUCKET TRUCK

About Me

10 years, experiencing the world, growing up, living life, witnessing hardships, knowing hardships, losing friendships, gaining friendships, gaining debt, playing shows, great memories, in a band, making music =success.Our new album was self financed and self released in Canada. Produced by Pelle Henricsson and Eskil Lovstrom (Refused "The Shape of Punk to Come", Poison the Well, Hell is for Heros), Magnus Lindberg (Cult of Luna) and us. Special appearance by Walter Schreifels (Quicksand, Gorilla Biscuits, Rival Schools) on the song "Separate, Silence".Favour the Bull was recorded in an old elementary school in Newfoundland Canada and finished in Umea Sweden between August and October of 2003. After 2 years of talks and negotiations we decided to go it on our own, opting to release the self funded project on Bucket Truck records. In 2007 we decided to end the band, after years of self righteousness that kept us in debt but proud of our decisions to keep control of all our music and videos. Our last show was May 19th at Junctions in our home town of St. John's Newfoundland. The Lost Republic is the new project from Mike, Mike and Matt. Thanks for all your support.
