Lost and Found Video - Dumptruck

AllMusic summarized the career of the band Dumptruck quite nicely: Essentially a two-man project of Massachusetts natives Kirk Swan and Seth Tiven, with a rotating rhythm section, Dumptruck was, for a brief moment, among the favorites of U.S. college radio in the mid ’80s. They combined the jangle power pop sound of the Southern alternative scene with intelligent lyrics and a melancholy twist. Swan left late in 1986, leaving Tiven to carry on for one more album, "For the Country," before dissolving the band in 1988. The band re-formed after settling legal disputes with their label in 1995 with a small-scale club tour of the U.S. and a new record deal. "Days of Fear" followed that same year; "Terminal" was issued five years later and "Lemmings Travel to the Sea" appeared in early 2001.

From Positively Dumptruck, this is Back Where I Belong.

Although updated information is lacking, Dumptruck appears to remain in existence. A blog entry dated March 18, 2007 on their MySpace page revealed that the band played a short set at the 2007 South By Southwest kick-off party (with a link to video footage), and were also recording an album.

Rykodisc has reissued Dumptruck's three '80s releases, D is for Dumptruck, Positively Dumptruck, and For the Country, with bonus tracks.
