Big Truck’s debut track has been released on Marshall Records.

Laurie Vincent has officially launched his latest musical venture Big Truck, citing The Cure, The Smiths and The War On Drugs as the chief inspirations behind the band’s debut single Central Reservation Blues.

“I missed my partner’s birthday and my son’s birthday when I was in America,” he’s said.

I’m no good at numbers and I tend to miss those details when we’ve got a big touring operation and things are booked a year in advance. Those birthdays I missed will be remembered forever, whereas I can’t even remember those gigs that I played.

While Vincent has gone on to big success with Soft Play, his association with new bandmate Sam Coppin goes back before then to the pair’s nascent musical days in Tunbridge Wells.

It was left to Coppin complete the line-up, invitations sent out to guitarist Asa Thallon and keyboard player Justin Myles.

The quartet will begin tour dates at The Waiting Room in London on May 8th, and are also due at The Great Escape in Brighton that month.
