By fifteen they were running a local studio and radio station. There was no industry support, no infrastructure, no template for what they were trying to do, only the work itself and the conviction that it was worth doing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAt seventeen they relocated to Montreal, joined by Chris Clegg and Thomas Hart, assembled from different corners of the country, and began building Truck Violence from the ground up. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe weathervane is my body\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, the band's second full-length record and first with San Francisco's The Flenser, is the product of that process. Every element reflects this. The group composition, the recording, the mixing and the visual media were all produced in house without outside intervention. DIY here is not an aesthetic choice or a marketing angle, it is the only honest option available.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe album cover was shot on film by the band on Avenue du Parc in Montreal. A figure perches atop a small Quebecois-style house, handbuilt from reclaimed materials, spine curved, legs pulled in, bare-backed against a skyline that dwarfs everything beneath it. A rural thing dropped into the grit of the city, small and out of place and refusing to disappear. The body is naked and defenseless, open to every stimulus the world cares to deliver. This is the album in a single image.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe weathervane is my body\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is a continuation, an expansion, a further scribbling together of that angry statement of purpose that is their debut album, aptly titled Violence. Rooted in the noise rock and post-hardcore traditions, and steeped in a DIY ethic that runs deep in Canadian underground culture, the record is uncompromising in its refusal to be anything other than what it is: immediate, self-determined, and built entirely by the hands that imagined it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Imprint Merch","offers":[{"title":"Iridescent White with Blue Vinyl","offer_id":46185736274108,"sku":"TRUCKVIOLENCE_0001","price":50.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Coke Bottle Clear Vinyl","offer_id":46185736306876,"sku":"TRUCKVIOLENCE_0002","price":50.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0252\/8378\/8880\/files\/IridescentWhiteLP.png?v=1776035989","url":"https:\/\/imprintmerch.com.au\/products\/truck-violence-the-weathervane-is-my-body-lp","provider":"Imprint Merch","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
