Truck Violence are a four-piece from Montréal who mix experimental hardcore and noise rock with the folk music of rural Western Canada. Vocalist Karsyn Henderson grew up in the shadow of the Athabasca tar sands. With guitarist and banjo player Paul Lecours, bassist Chris Clegg and drummer Thomas Hart, he writes songs about small-town roots, family and the urge to self-destruct, and the music swings from quiet acoustic laments to crushing, cathartic noise.

Their 2024 debut, Violence (Mothland), earned them a reputation as one of the most intense live bands in Canadian heavy music. In 2026 they signed to The Flenser, home of Chat Pile, and released their second album, The weathervane is my body. Critics praised it as darker and more focused than the debut. The same year they played Roadburn, Roskilde and Outbreak before touring North America.
