HOGTRUCKER is the new pop project from John Stapleton, formerly of Conversion Therapy. This is a sharp left turn from that theatrical gothic drag and fictional Darkwave Horrorpop, as HOGTRUCKER explores a bit of personal feelings, emo vocals, and DIY house beats. Originally from Massachusetts, Stapleton is now based in Las Vegas, a city that inspires his artistry.
The album’s eight tracks traverse the spectrum of dance music, from the kinetic energy of garage and drum and bass to the pulsating rhythms of house, techno, and EDM. Each track is wrapped in HOGTRUCKER’s distinctive dark pop style, creating something truly unique. The album stands as a narrative of HOGTRUCKER’s experiences – from club nights in Las Vegas to perfecting his solo sound in New York.
HOGTRUCKER describes the album as a reflection of being ‘hogtied’ to the most important aspects of his life – his partner, friends, and the city he loves. To further embody that, the album’s artwork, featuring HOGTRUCKER tied up in a car trunk, is both provocative and symbolic. It visually represents the themes that run through the album.
HOGTRUCKER’s ‘HOGTIED’ is a tour de force that cements his place as a powerhouse in the dance-pop world. The album’s blend of high-energy beats, genre-spanning tracks, and deeply personal themes make it a standout release. Whether you’re hitting the dance floor or cruising through the night, ‘HOGTIED’ offers a soundtrack that’s impossible to resist.
