Southern California's BIG ASS TRUCK I.E. are putting the pedal to the metal with today's release of their explosive debut EP, FOUND ON ROAD DEAD, available now via Nuclear Blast Records. To celebrate, the Inland Empire hardcore wrecking crew have unleashed a brand new music video for the EP's pit-destroying anthem ‘BIG ASS GUN,’ directed by Chris Klumpp (156/Silence, Currents).
Clocking in at just under two minutes, ‘BIG ASS GUN’ is a relentless barrage of crushing riffs, bone-rattling breakdowns and irresistible two-step grooves. Already a fan favourite at the band's notoriously chaotic live shows, the track wastes absolutely no time getting down to business, delivering a concentrated dose of hardcore brutality designed to incite immediate headbanging and full-scale mosh pit destruction. No filler, no wasted motion, just pure, unfiltered aggression.

The five-track FOUND ON ROAD DEAD EP is a thunderous introduction to one of hardcore's most outrageous new acts. Hailing from California's Inland Empire, BIG ASS TRUCK I.E. have carved out their own lane in the heavy music underground, combining pulverising metallic hardcore, massive breakdowns and an unapologetically over-the-top monster truck aesthetic. From the punishing assault of previously released single 'DRAGGING MEAT' to the sheer blunt-force impact of 'BIG ASS GUN', the EP delivers an uncompromising soundtrack to absolute mayhem.
In addition to its digital release, FOUND ON ROAD DEAD is being offered in several collectible physical editions. The limited Black Tire Edition, a 10-inch tire-inspired vinyl pressing, is available from 20th October, alongside a new EP T-shirt. Two additional vinyl variants, the F.O.R.D. Edition and the Crusher Edition (independent record store exclusive), are available for pre-order starting 20th October, with both editions scheduled for release on 11th December.
BIG ASS TRUCK I.E. will head to the UK in January for a headlining tour with support from local hardcore crew PINTGLASS.
