Formed in October 2003 Mothertrucker is the creation of Charlie Butler (Guitar), Tom Moffat (Bass), James Davison (Drums) and Chris Scrivens (Guitar) from Birmingham in the UK.

With influences coming from a wide range of bands like Black Sabbath, Kyuss, Mogwai, Tool, Slint, Red Sparowes, Pelican & Isis; Mothertrucker blend together the harshness of metal, the ambience, texture and lulling nature of post-rock, the groove and rolling rhythms of stoner rock and the gruesome dark feelings of doom with the aim of fusing all this into one as a truly cohesive sound.

Recorded in October 2004 after a year of crafting the songs and testing them out on the live circuit the band set their debut six track mini-album "The Last Ride Of Dr Sanchez" to disk at The Zoo Recording Studio in Nuneaton and self-released it in January 2005 to a wash of fantastic reviews:

Anyone who can write such punishing riffs deserves success
- Metal Hammer (Demo of the month)

Huge, impassive, weighty, and crushing
- The Communion.co.uk

A primitive, raucous blend of stoner-rock meanderings and epic head-crushing riffs driven by primitive cave-man beats
- National-Student.co.uk

Simply amazing! Inevative and astounding in it's layout, unique and powerful in it's delivery...captivating stuff. Their music is the epitemy of everything thats awesome about music. Mothertrucker are surely one of Britains brightest hopes for the future."

After months of writing new material whilst still supporting their debut release throughout the year they stepped into The Zoo Recording Studio in November 2005 to record again with producer Carl Harris (Mistress, Bullgator) what would become Electric Blacksmith (Released through Gallipoli Records).

"Scuzzy, atmospheric, instrumental stoner rock...another quality and promising release...full on slick, sludge monsters!" - RawNervePromotions.co.uk

"Neuron-crushing, riff-tastic...full-on instru-METAL assault...impressive walls of noise...sheer rock-power...epic, crushing metal that can find its own unique place in the genre." - National-Student.co.uk

"Ground-breaking...instrumental doom rock epics" - Rock-A-Rolla Magazine

Having played with the likes of 27 (Hydra Head Records), Boris (Southern Lord), Truckfighters (Fuzzorama), Yndi Halda (BSM Records), symmetry (Iapetus Recordings) & bossk (QnotQ Records) Mothertrucker have built up a strong fan base based on their live performances and the plans for the future are to play more gigs around the country, keep writing more and hopefully aim to lay down their debut album sometime in the not too distant future.

Meanwhile in April 2006 two new songs, "Creeping Leffe" & "Smooth Vulture" were tracked for a new split EP with Nottingham's awesome intru-metal heroes The Legion Of Doom who also contribute 3 new tracks as their half. The CD is available through Sheffield's Calculon Records (Sourvein, Among The Missing, Bumsnogger etc).

"This is thick, lumpen, doom-laden steel of the heaviest order...psychedelic waves of effects-drenched guitars swoop and dive over an ominous tom pattern leading up to another unusual riff onslaught. Heavy."
- Ninehertz.co.uk



Brand new song "Shango" was recorded at Dubrek Studios in Derby (Lords, Fixit Kid, The Little Explorer) with Jay Dean (You Judas, Fixit Kid) and Olly Toogood (The Swarm, You Judas) in late July for a 7" split with good friends Una Corda due out on BH/BB Records (The Hearing, Hattori Hanzo, The Plague Symphony) in early 2007.

In August 2006 Mothertrucker embarked on their first ever UK tour, taking in places as broad as Edinburgh and Bournemouth. Then in September with friends eye and bossk a second mini-tour was done taking in Leeds, Nottingham and more. Further touring is planned throughout 2006 and 2007 and who knows what else next...
