Cattletruck

Cattletruck were a short lived Australian Pop rock/rock group formed in 1985. The group released one studio album, Ready to Believe in 1987.

History
Cattletruck began as a self-described "irreverent semi-acoustic punkabilly covers outfit", that would play "anywhere, anytime, invited or not" In early 1985 singer/guitarist Paul Janovskis decided to "get serious" and the group independently produced a single "Never Is", which received public radio airplay. This allowed the band to lead support gigs for A-list Australian and International acts.

In 1986, they signed with Regular Records and began work on their debut album, with a series of singles and video clips released. In December 1987, Ready to Believe was released, which peaked at number 58 on the Australian Charts.

The band ground to a halt amidst bickering, management and financial issues in 1988.

Commencing in 2017, more music was released by the group.
