California hardcore band Big Ass Truck I.E. have dropped their new single, “Pushed Beyond the Brink,” out now via Nuclear Blast Records. The track follows “Back Wheel Stomp,” which arrived in late 2025 alongside the band’s signing to Nuclear Blast.
The new single draws inspiration from the real-life Killdozer incident. The band says they wanted to capture how unhinged that whole situation was, and they also hope the track connects with anyone who feels like life keeps pushing them down.
The Southern California five-piece hail from the Inland Empire, the area just east of Los Angeles and Orange Counties. Before landing on Nuclear Blast, they spent the past year building a devoted following through relentless touring, hitting festivals including Welcome to Rockville, Sound and Fury, Warped Tour, and Inkcarceration, as well as support runs alongside Terror, Comeback Kid, and Stick to Your Guns.
Big Ass Truck I.E. currently tour Europe through late March.
