Dumptruck, led by Seth Tiven and Kirk Swan, were college radio favourites in the mid 80s, contemporaries of bands like Miracle Legion, Game Theory and IRS-era R.E.M. Their albums include D Is For Dumptruck, Positively and their best-known, For The Country. Commercially sunk by label and legal problems, Tiven has continued to release records under the Dumptruck name. Dumptruck was also the name of a mid-90s Sacramento, CA hardcore band led by Tony Avila.
