Monster Truck explode back onto the scene with their incredible new song and music video for “Golden Woman” ahead of their performance on the main stage at this weekend’s Download Festival.
“Golden Woman” is a fast paced, unrelenting, rock and roll jam and marks the first release from their highly anticipated forthcoming album and follows the band’s recent global signing with BMG.

Jon Harvey, bassist and lead singer expounds:
The idea for “Golden Woman” came one afternoon as I was fiddling around on a kid’s guitar my father had bought my son. He got it at some garage sale and thought it perfect for little hands. I ended up picking it up, putting the strap over my head, and walking around with it all afternoon playing the main riff, and slowly crafting an arrangement. Jer and I then fine-tuned the song, and voila! Inspiration comes from anywhere and everywhere.
The lyrics were born of my own personal experience with my partner, Simara. She saved me during a very rough time, and I am forever grateful for her, and the mystical revelations that only love can bring. Her hair colour is naturally blonde, so the title of the song is, like all Monster Truck songs, very literal.
The band have also announced a twelve date headline tour of the UK, kicking off in Dover on 29th September through to Nottingham on October 17th.
