Truckstop Darlin' Premiere New Video on RELIX - Take a Look Inside!



TRUCKSTOP DARLIN’ are back at it again with an impressive video premiere on RELIX for their debut video “Don’t Walk Away.”  A bit of an unconventional move, the group put together an impressive piece that is based around their live set, showing their true connection to their fans. With their brilliant live energy shining through, you will be able to see the passion in the band’s performance as they give every bit of blood, sweat and tears that they can muster.

"We didn't want to make a "music video", instead we wanted to capture the energy of the live show as well as the give and take between us and the crowd," says vocalist / guitarist John Phelan.The band was truly successful with that as you can see them interacting with the crowd that is moving along to the music.

On June 5th Truckstop Darlin’ releases their newest album, Hope and the Heart It Breaks, to the ears of eager listeners. Ten heartfelt tracks make up the record, with each proving to be a showstopper on their own.  Though they are reminiscent of Wilco, Uncle Tupelo, and Drive-By Truckers, Truckstop Darlin’ goes above and beyond the Alt-Country genre, blending it with pure heart-pounding Rock N’ Roll that will stop you dead in your tracks. If you are looking to be blown away, look no further thanTruckstop Darlin’, as they are about to send you on one hell of a ride…that you better be prepared for.

Hailing from Portland, Oregon, Truckstop Darlin’ has been creating a solid name for themselves in the music scene, and now it is time for them to branch out into the world. Truckstop Darlin’is John Phelan (Vocals, Guitars), Nick Foltz (Bass, Vocals), Michael Winter (Pedal Steel) and Ben Blankenship (Drums). Formed in 2010, the band has been winning over the hearts of music listeners from the beginning with their special brand of nitty gritty rock n' roll.
