Backstory:
Exalted Truck, a legendary band with a humble beginning, was born in the garage of a small-town mechanic named Joe. Joe, along with his buddies, Mike and Tom, whiled away their spare time jamming together, using old engine parts as makeshift instruments. The unique and raw sound they created resonated with their co-workers, and soon, the word spread like wildfire. They decided to take their music out of the garage and into the world, christening themselves ‘Exalted Truck’, a nod to their mechanized origins.
Their journey wasn’t smooth, with various obstacles blocking their path, like the skepticism of record labels and financial difficulties. Yet, the trio persisted, trucking down the highway of their dreams. Their first breakthrough came when their track ‘Rust and Resilience’ hit the airwaves, creating a stir in the music scene. The rest, as they say, is history.

‘Gears of Change’
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
G D Em
Grinding gears, oil-stained tears,
C G D
Midnight shift, life’s a stiff.
Em D G
In this rusty town,
C Em D
We wear our crown.
(Chorus)
G D C G
We are the gears of change,
Em C D
In a world, estranged.
G D C G
Turn the wrench, tighten the range,
Em C D
We are the gears of change.
(Verse 2)
G D Em
Steel bones, hearts of stones,
C G D
Daylight fades, but hope cascades.
Em D G
Under the waning moon,
C Em D
We hum our tune.
(Repeat Chorus)
(Bridge)
Em D G C
Fight the rust, in ourselves, we trust,
D Em C G
In this tussle, we’ll find our muscle.
D Em C G
For every broken cog, and every unclogged bog,
D Em C G
We remain, the gears of change.
(Repeat Chorus)
