Truck Violence explore identity on new song, "Your name, It’s walking”
Montréal hardcore band Truck Violence have shared "Your name, It’s walking”, the second single from their upcoming album,
The weathervane is my body.
"Your name, It’s walking” follows previous single "New Jesus" as the latest preview of the band's second album, which is described as "uncompromising in its refusal to be anything other than what it is: immediate, self-determined, and built entirely by the hands that imagined it".
Speaking about the track, vocalist Karsyn Henderson says, "This song is a sort of compilation of thoughts; my relationship with my birth name after having a precarious journey with gender and identity in my early teens, my feelings of inadequacy and alienation growing up with intense ADHD and anxiety from an early age, my desires for anchorage in an uncertain future. The hook of the song always comes off as extremely cliche to me, maybe I am hitting the nail too precisely, with too blunt a face, but perhaps that is necessary, perhaps it reflects well the thoughts of myself as I was."
