Abel Abarca from Big Ass Truck

We sit down with Abel Abarca, frontman of Big Ass Truck I.E. ; the Inland Empire hardcore wrecking crew that went from a tour joke about semi-trucks to signing with Nuclear Blast Records. Abel traces his path from a teenager who hated screaming vocals to a reluctant frontman, his time in the military, and the band's rapid rise from local shows to festivals like Sound & Fury and Warped Tour. They dig into the IE hardcore scene, the band's Latino roots and anti-ICE activism, the Nuclear Blast signing, and how a band nobody took seriously became impossible to ignore.
