The Haulers

About Me

The Haulers were formed after a paradigm shift occurred in the lives of Duncan Pace and David Townsend. Justin Leahy was also very helpful in the foundation of this band. Duncan and Dave felt as if they were given burdens in life too heavy to bear so they decided to imagine a band that could. The Haulers would drive through the country in semis leaving the dust of each load behind, treading new ground. This may or may not have happened in a figurative sense, but what did happen was that we became songwriters. Though the band remains basically the same from The Sauce to The Haulers, the way the music is approached is different. It is just that The Haulers are saying a little more these days.
