BIO ENGLISH
The
351's were formed in September 2023.
Kev was playing guitar with The Rudesters (formerly The Cranky's) when Dom
joined them as the new (and last) singer followed shortly after by Tin as the
new (and last) drummer.
Tired of the misconduct and all the bullshit from bass player M.(giving the
band a bad reputation within the local scene), Kev decided to leave The
Rudesters. "This was my last rehearsal with you guys...I'm fed-up" »
The Rudesters died that day.
But Kev wasn't done with music... "The thing is, I really liked Dom and
Tin, we got along well, we had fun together..."
So Kev asked Dom if he was willing to play bass and asked Tin if he still
wanted to play drums... and start a new band!
The name of the group comes from Steven Spielberg's first film, Duel, it is the
model of the truck (a Peterbilt 351*).
“I have been a truck driver for 30 years. For me, the 351 (made from 1954 to
1966) is the most beautiful truck ever made, I've always loved it, and in this
movie, the truck is old, rusty and mean... a bit like us, like our sound. »
Dom likes horror movies, he likes the movie and Tin also has to deal with
trucks; the name struck us like an old pair of Dr. Martens!
For their first year, the 351's gave half a dozen concerts across Quebec (and
even one in Maine USA) and recorded an EP to be released soon!
