From Central Massachusetts comes No Trigger. Clocking in at just under 32 minutes, "Canyoneer" is a really solid effort from beginning to end. "The (not so) Noble Purveyors of the Third and Fourth Coming" starts off the assault. This is a straight ahead hardcore, "hey everyone get ready, because it's coming" tune. "Neon National Park" follows and starts to showcase the melodic influences of this talented band. Those punk releases that mix rough, growling hardcore vocals with melodic guitar lines may well be plentiful these days, but No Trigger offer us something different. Tempo changes, gang background harmonies, even the odd guitar solo make a more complete offering. "Bust Tropical" and "Owner Operator" speak to those comments quite well. Both these tracks are certainly blistering, but hook the listener with dueling guitar melodies. "Fuck That! I'm Digging Out!" echoes Tom Rheault on "Owner Operator". That's right Tom! No Trigger combine infectious catchy music with relevant and personal lyrics. It seems like there is a respect for punk that has come before them, that' probably pretty fair, but what's interesting is that No Trigger spin their own version which is all together original and something that they should be entirely proud of. 2008 has seen the band focus on other endeavors, helping out Set Your Goals and playing in Smartbomb. Good stuff, but can't wait for more No Trigger music!
