There had been some stand-out performances from Bag of Cans and Vega Rally earlier in the day, but this was Truck Festival’s lift-off moment. ‘Tranquilizer’ unleashed the devil of Primal Scream’s ‘XTRMNTR’ and sent a packed tent into a pure state of mayhem.
‘Information Is Beautiful’ and ‘You Thought I Was Dead’ buzzed and throbbed with the warped ambition of Kasabian and the deranged melody of Radio 4. The pulsating basslines and the iconic moves of frontman Tom Newman continuously whipped up a fever that echoed long into the night and the hearts of all who witnessed.
Mentor and Producer Jagz Kooner was looking on, with what must have been immense pride. His 00s remixes have been reimagined for the modern day by Holy Youth Movement’s dynamite vision. It can’t be long until the Bristol outfit have the same respect put on their name as his.
