Don't know what I'm talking about, well you should. Ontario rockers Monster Truck have just released their album FURIOSITY to raving reviews. If you don't believe me check it out; http://www.metalhammer.co.uk/news/exclusive-were-streaming-the-new-monster-truck-album/
I have had the privilege to see these guys rock out 3 times now, and ever time they blow the place down. They are truly a great live band. With blaring riffs, smokey vocals and good depth to their sound, Monster Truck are one of my favourite Canadian acts. Let them become one of yours too.

More political unrest in Europe
Sunday saw Bulgaria vote for a new Parliament. Bulgaria has been led by a caretaker government since February after Boiko Borisov resigned as PM amid protests against poverty, high utility bills and corruption.
The results from the election body today show that the 42nd Bulgarian General Assembly will be divided equally between the Socialists and ethnic Turks on one side, and the centrist GERB and the nationalist Ataka on the other. Again, another European country's electorate are split in terms of ideology and what is the best avenue for their country.
This election hasn't been smooth with allegations of more corruption and even vote-rigging. Protesters have been rallying during the whole electoral process. There seems to be little hope for the people of Bulgaria. The Balkan state of 7.3 million remains the EU's poorest member, and 1 in 5 Bulgarians live under the poverty line.
It is still unsure whether a coalition government can be formed, but without a stable government the country looks like it will still be turmoil.
