FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE VICK LeCar DROPS NEW SINGLE “IT’S TIME” — A RAW HARD ROCK CALL TO ACTION Out September 18, 2025 on All Major Streaming Platforms Hard rock guitarist and songwriter Vick LeCar is back with a brand-new single, “It’s Time” — a no-nonsense anthem of urgency, grit, and determination. Set for release on September 18, 2025, the track follows the momentum of “Golden Train” and “Witches Brew,” showing yet another side of LeCar’s relentless creative drive.

Whatever’s been holding you back, it’s time to break through it.” The single once again features a powerhouse roster of rock veterans, delivering a stripped-down and ferocious performance that leaves no room for filler: Tony Franklin (The Firm, Blue Murder) – Bass Russell Gilbrook (Uriah Heep) – Drums Paul Manzi (The Sweet, Arena) – Vocals Vick LeCar – Guitar, Percussion, Songwriting, and all other instrumentation Mixed by Ray DeTone in New York City and mastered by Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal (ex-Guns N’ Roses, Sons of Apollo) at his personal studio in New Jersey, “It’s Time” hits hard with a raw, stripped-back production style that keeps the spotlight on the riffs, grooves, and vocal firepower.

Recorded and produced by Tyler Romeo, Fuck the Process is a slab of pure death-soaked groove and chaos. From sweat-drenched basements to festival pits across the U.S., TRUNK have built their reputation on raw heaviness, unchained live shows, and mosh-ready riffs and breakdowns reminiscent of Hellfest and early 2000s metalcore. Now, all that venom has been captured in one uncompromising album. “This isn’t about perfection, it’s about power,” says the band.“Fuck the Process is a middle finger to the idea that heavy music has to fit into a box. It’s nasty, it’s loud, and it’s us at our most honest.” Equal parts groove, grind, and sonic annihilation, TRUNK proves once again why they’re one of the underground’s fiercest voices. Fans of Entombed, Acid Bath, Bolt Thrower, and Crowbar will feel right at home in the chaos, but make no mistake—TRUNK aren’t following in footsteps, they’re stomping new ones. This is music for the end times. This is TRUNK.
