New Kingdom Related Projects - Truck Stop
It was a wild ride... after a whirlwind tour with New Kingdom, Sebastian
returned to New York City and took the G train to Greenpoint Brooklyn,
with an Akai 900 sampler under his arm.
Entering a stairway and hall straight out of 'Eraserhead', following Miho's call, leading him to a threshold into a warehouse-like loft. Greeting Rob in the customary fashion : fist over fist, Rob gestured to a 6 foot high by 5 and 4 wooden box in the middle of the room. Upon opening the door to the box, a padded room equipped with an Alexis drum machine, turntable and 7 crates of records is revealed. The two men quickly set to their work, between swigs of Denaka101.
Laying down beats and sampling some of their heroes from The Misfits
to Steve Miller to 7 Seconds to Kool G Rap and Polo and beyond. They
brewed together their new form of Hard Hip-Hop. Within weeks, they
brought the Maxwell C90 cassette tape over to New Kingdom producer
Scotty Hard at HardWood studio, who gave the nod and added his unique
tuned down Gibson to the mix. Tada and Graham stepped up next with
the rhythm section and the rest, as they say, is history.
Now it was road worthy. A legitimate amalgamation of hard core hip hop and hard core punk rock. In the weeks that followed, these mysterious men had an appropriate call to the NYC Meat Packing District for their first live show. Dragging their beloved mangled Mack Truck hood with them, they took center stage and, in a wall of fog, took over the notorious night club The Cooler.
Truck Stop came to the rescue that night...

The version of Flyin' In My Dreams is the same as the version on the Coast To Coast EP. The other two tracks are heavier and scuzzier and gave a tantalising look into what might had been had the band continued.
