   About The Painkillers

Truck Records are pleased to announce the release of The Painkillers' second album Love Cancer, due out in October 2008. Featuring killer songs, guest appearances from some of the country's finest musicians, trash, more trash, produced by Laurie Sinagra and rock and roll genius Mick Blood, and a return to the vocal microphone for James Baker for the sixty-second self-penned gem, "Rock and Roll Heart" - pure trash.

Following on the heels of the critically acclaimed 2006 nugget, Drunk on a Train, the new album showcases the two-piece punk-folk vibe of Baker and Bludge beautifully, and will be complimented by shows in Melbourne and throughout their hometown. Tracks from the new release are now available for preview on the band's myspace page!
