Trucker was formed 1997 by singer Nicklas Bohman and guitarist Niclas Lundmark.
They decided to give music a real chance. After some bandmembers coming
and going, the set felt ready with drummer Nils Agnarsson and Fredrik Sundqvist
on bass. Two demos later the band got ovations from local press and big
huge Chrysalis. At this stage another AWSF band Wade lost their drummer
Peter Sundqvist whom preferred Skellefteå to LA. Wade
started to convince Nils about joining Wade. At the same time Trucker talked
Peter into changing band. Done. They swapped. The very beloved Trästocksfestivalen
came closer (July 1999). Trucker performed with their catchy tunes and cool
songs. Success and then setback: Fredrik (bass) decided to quit. Luckily
Pierre Pettersson, former Skumdum, helped out. The final set was complete
and done. More demos were made. One of them got in the hands of Joakim Wallström.
Like a brilliant X-mas present the band signed a contract with independent
label A West Side Fabrication at Christmas time 1999. What was first meant
to be a debut single turned out to be the five tracks EP Step Aside. First
track As I Am rotated heavily on Swedish radio. As always with quartet things
tend to happen fast! Before they even released their
debut, a follow-up was made, Kickbox Lady. You can be sure about one thing;
this is not the last thing you'll hear from Trucker!
