No Trigger (official thread)

[CellarGhosts]

appreciate them. they're underrated and so forth.

[versus_god]

Hey No Trigger.

You're alright.

Canyoneer has its bitchin' moments.

[jhog3411]

Hopefully they'll release new music over the next year and start doing some shows again.

This thread needs a good bump in the nuts. More people need to take note of this band...

That and that Kid Dynamite tribute's MySpace page (http://www.myspace.com/kiddynamitetribute) just posted No Trigger's cover of "K05-0564."

[CellarGhosts]

Oooh nice. This bump's inspired me to spin me some Canyoneer. :headbang: That cover looks pretty sweet too.

[prefix-core]

Glad I could help. Haha. I can't wait to hear the follow-up to said-melodic hardcore slab of plastic. Wonder where they wind up label-wise...

[SwiftSilentDead]

Awesome band. Canyoneer has been getting a lot of plays from me as of late.

[Wobbie]

Great band!! About to listen to the Kid Dynamite cover. I can't wait for that tribute album to drop. It's been such a long time coming...

[prefix-core]

Great band!! About to listen to the Kid Dynamite cover. I can't wait for that tribute album to drop. It's been such a long time coming...

Oh, yes it has! Haha. The track listing is solid. Although, if I'm not mistaken, I Am the Avalanche used to be on it and they appear to be missing now? Unless I missed them in the list of 20+ bands. Which is entirely possible.

[CellarGhosts]

Glad I could help. Haha. I can't wait to hear the follow-up to said-melodic hardcore slab of plastic. Wonder where they wind up label-wise...
Me too. I thought they were going to put out a new album sometime this year? I don't know. Maybe I'm misinformed.

[prefix-core]

They've been writing for a while now, I'm sure. But Nitro is pretty much non-existent so I'm guessing they're searching for a new home. I can't recall anything about them going in-studio, but I could be wrong.

And, for that matter, having two of those guys touring with Set Your Goals on Warped last summer sent them back about four months...

[CellarGhosts]

Ah, I hear ya. Yeah, I had been wondering what was up with Nitro. It'd be cool if Fat picked them up, but I don't know...that's just me hah. And that is true about the SYG tour.

Whatever the case, I'll definitely be happy whenever we finally hear some kind of news on the new album, or a signing.

[prefix-core]

Y'know, I don't know what exactly is up with Nitro. But Crime in Stereo jumped ship, A Wilhelm Scream had mentioned in a few interviews that shit between them and Nitro was weird around the time of Career Suicide's release, they never started releasing vinyl, A.F.I. catalog sales have finally started to dry up, Guttermouth is on Volcom, Dexter is busy with hot sauce...

I'm really curious to see where they wind up as well. Who the fuck knows. They're a Massachusetts band and Bridge 9 seems to be attempting to sign more melodic bands than previously. I can't see them going with Eulogy given the bad blood with Set Your Goals...But like you said, Fat would be a great fit! Equal Vision might work as well. Or No Idea, even!

But as for Fat? I have a sneaking suspicion that No Trigger's New Bedfuhd buddies will be with Fat before they are. All the signs are there. Fast, technical, melodic punk rock with a buzz. Buddies with the Larry Arms, Lagwagon, Rise Against, etc. Or maybe that's just wishful thinking on my part?

[SwiftSilentDead]

I really hope Fat Wreck picks them up but like you said, No Idea might work, too.

That's odd, ha. I hadn't heard that about AWS's relationship with Nitro was getting weird.

That's true. Bridge 9 might pick them up. I can't really see them going to Eulogy either, but it's possible. I do think No Idea or Fat would be the best options. I don't know exactly why, but it just seems like either of those is where they'd be the most at home.

Haha, could be wishful thinking but who knows. It could happen!

[holyballs]

i cannot wait for a new album. canyoneer is so great. way more people should know about this band.

[prefix-core]

That's odd, ha. I hadn't heard that about AWS's relationship with Nitro was getting weird.

Yeah, I guess they were having a hard time getting in touch with them and such. But Nitro kept insisting that, yes, they did want to release the album.

But I don't think it was so much a strained relationship as...I mean, when was the last time you heard anything about that label? I honestly don't have much in the way of facts, it just seems like a likely thing that the label is going/went the way of the buffalo. And here's the post from A.W.S.'s site to kind of back it up...

"So the next full length will be recorded in January at the Blasting Room with Bill and Jason once again. Once we have the label(s) figured out, you'll hear it here first, but I'd expect the new album in the Spring. (Start searching the pirate mp3 sites now.)"

See what I mean? It's not 100% that they're on Nitro anymore if that's any indicator. I'll try and find the interview where Trev discusses the weirdness.

[SwiftSilentDead]

IT'S ALL BEEN DONE AND DONE AGAIN AND LIKE HELL AM I CHANGING!

Huh, interesting. I know what you mean though, I checked up on Nitro's website a while ago and there was hardly any recent news at all. It's like it had just been sitting there idle for a while.

[SwiftSilentDead]

I just tried to go to Nitro's site and it wouldn't load. :shrug:

[CellarGhosts]

Wouldn't load for me either. Hmmm.

RIP Nitro? :-( Seems to be the case, all things considered...

[SwiftSilentDead]

Shame. :-(

That's where AFI released their best records and they've always been my favorite band.

[CellarGhosts]

Yeah, I've always liked Nitro for the most part. Here's hoping they're not seriously done for.

[shit stroll]

nitro is fucking trash anyway.

and it's pretty hard to believe that fat signed some band from compton that no one has ever heard of over AWS, the swellers, no trigger, etc.

[CellarGhosts]

I thought for sure that Fat would sign The Swellers.

[SwiftSilentDead]

Nitro apparently has only 4 bands left on their label.

[CellarGhosts]

They do. No Trigger, A Wilhelm Scream, the Aquabats and I forget who the fourth one is.

[shit stroll]

haha and AWS and no trigger are gone.

[CellarGhosts]

Haha true. So that leaves 'em with the Aquabats and some band I can't remember the name of. Yeah, looks like curtains for Nitro.

[SwiftSilentDead]

I think they're called Hit The Switch.

[prefix-core]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that Hit the Switch released their album for free on-line too. And THEN Nitro put out the CD. I remember downloading it and hating it...

[CellarGhosts]

Haha, strange. I don't think I'll be checking them out.

[Keagan Ilvonen]

I just got my Set Your Goals dvd in the mail not knowing who No Trigger was and was pleasantly surprised.

[prefix-core]

I just got my Set Your Goals dvd in the mail not knowing who No Trigger was and was pleasantly surprised.

Awesome! I actually got that DVD a week ago and haven't had a chance to watch it. Is No Trigger in it quite a bit?

[prefix-core]

Haha true. So that leaves 'em with the Aquabats and some band I can't remember the name of. Yeah, looks like curtains for Nitro.

As of today, they no longer have the Aquabats. Haha. Leaving them with...El Gringo, Dexter Holland's hot sauce. Now available in supermarkets!

[Justin_stacy]

Much The Same had some less than flattering things to say about Nitro when they broke up two years ago.

[prefix-core]

Lost City Angels had some gripes about the label at Warped Tour a few years ago. "They don't give a shit about a hard-working East Coast band." Meanwhile, yards away, A Wilhelm Scream were selling merch out of a Nitro Records tent, had ads in Alternative Press, et cetra. Haha.

I really want to know what happened with that label. I'm sure it wasn't what led to their downfall, but did anyone else notice that they never started selling vinyl? Adeline sold the A.F.I. releases, JumpStart got A.W.S., and Crime in Stereo never had anything released on vinyl until they hit Bridge Nine. I can't help but thinking they lost some potential revenue there...

I know its not 2006, but Nitro's myspace page only carried Wilhem Scream songs.

Wow. That's really...Shitty. Haha. I had honestly never looked into their MySpace page. I think the instance I'm referring to took place in like, 2004 or so. I wonder why they signed bands and never really pushed/promoted them. Weird.

[Justin_stacy]

Back in the 90's they were one of the strongest mid-level labels. Jugheads Revenge, Vandals, Guttermouth, Sloppy Seconds, AFI and One Hit Wonders. Then they kind of went off into obscurity.

I'm not sure why Dexter let the label go, they were making a resurgence there for awhile. Kung Fu records has also pretty much vanished too.

They were definite powerhouses. They had a few decent acts in the early 00's as well (Rufio, Don't Look Down) and they seemed poised to make a comeback with the signing streak a few years back. Not sure what happened after that...

But I was thinking about Kung-Fu as I wrote that last post about Nitro. I'm not sure what went down, but I do know that shit went down between them and Tsunami Bomb where, essentially, Escalante wanted them to be this shiny, radio-friendly pop-punk band (thus, the drastic sound difference in the production/mix on alot of their last release). I think the other bands on there just kind of faded into obscurity.

[bribot]

i wish aquabats cd's were as fun as their concerts

[ThemChains]

I remember seeing this band with Crime In Stereo and Killing The Dream and only like 30 kids were there.

[bribot]

last time i saw them was with streetlight and someone else i dont remember. There were tons of kids.... and tons of parents

[ThemChains]

Well this show was about 3 years ago and the current Bridge 9 and Deathwish bands weren't the hype machines they are now.

[prefix-core]

Bump for awesome. Stolen from MySpace:

The Bad:
We just had to pull off of our show with Reach The Sky last minute. One of us had a last minute personal conflict with the date and we had to let our booking agent know we couldn't play. But it IS still a RTS reunion so why the hell would you not go just because we weren't playing? You wouldn't! Fucking rip it up! But we will make it up to you guys soon, we promise!

The Good:
We can't get into specifics right now, but solid plans are finally in the works for some new music on our end. The 5 of us are FINALLY in the same place for more than a few weeks so we should be able to actually get something accomplished. More details to come!

[CellarGhosts]

!!!!!

[SwiftSilentDead]

OH FUCK YES!

[AP_Punk]

oh yeah, in an episode of veronica mars (third season), there's a No Trigger poster in the background.

rad!

Haha seriously? Very cool.

:thumbup:

[ThisIsNotDan]

what the fuck has this band been up to?

[SophGod]

seriously. Cayoneer is such an incredible album. do want more.

[ThisIsNotDan]

ok honestly Canyoneer and Shook Ones have been all I've listened to lately. fuck, this album is so good. "Neon National Park," "Owner Operator," and "Tundra Kids" are my favorites

[SwiftSilentDead]

I've listened to Canyoneer so much and I still haven't gotten tired of it, haha.

[ThisIsNotDan]

YOU SAID IT KID YOU SAID IT
YOU MADE YOUR POINT NOW ITS FUCKING PATHETIC

must see this band

[prefix-core]

Did anyone else catch their Facebook post on Christmas day? It was a live video from a while back. But it was captioned as "from the band that's always sleeping."

...Well. At least we know they consider themselves sleeping and not broken up?

[SwiftSilentDead]

:yawn:

[prefix-core]

Ignore the moron, I mean troll.

S'cool. I just wanted to hear the argument. Because uh, yeah...Fat Wreck is one label that you can never argue isn't in it for the right reasons. Because y'know, it's not like any Fat Wreck bands ever went on to major labels. And y'know, it's not like Fat ever signed said-bands to huge deals and forced the majors to buy them out.

Fat Mike is a shitty business man. Haha.

Bump because I'm rockin' Canyoneer right about now. Anyone have any favorite live moments/songs/fingerpointing bits from this band? Mine is definitely...

"And never show their faces / To the other martian races!" Kills live every time. Of course, "live every time" hasn't happened in about two years. But whatever. Shut up. :-(

[CellarGhosts]

Can we all agree to not bump this thread from now on unless it's with news of a new album? Hahah. Just kiddin'. But every time I see this bumped I get hopeful. 'Sal good though. And sadly I've never seen 'em live. :(

[SophGod]

Here I thought there was some news. But deep down I knew there was no news... :-(

What I would give for new material from this band....

Yeah, I thought so. Between these dudes and None More Black it's hard keeping track of who hinted at and/or promised a new album seemingly forever ago. Haha. At this point I'd honestly rather have new NMB out than new No Trigger. But hey, either one would be great.

[ThisIsNotDan]

goddamnit you guys I got so excited to see this bump. well, I guess this gives me a good excuse to bump Canyoneer :headbang:

[ThisIsNotDan]

also, any of you guys into the new Outbreak album? considering that band is like half-No Trigger now I thought it deserved a mention. it's pretty rad

I haven't heard it yet but I'll listen to it sometime soon!

[prefix-core]

Nope, but they toured with A.W.S. I always thought they were like, typical heavy grindy hardcore of the metal variety. Guess I was wrong?

Erik and Billy are playing with them, but while their first two are more thrashy hardcore, this one sounds like Ryan (Outbreak vocalist) fronting a really REALLY pissed off Smartbomb. if any of that made sense, then more power to ya. it's good

don't really expect thrash. bad wording on my part. it's definitely the punk side of hardcore but it's loud, pissed off, and has some sweet solos. I'm actually gonna throw it on very shortly haha

Yeah that lineup sounds right. Was Less Than Jake the show you went to? I also missed that one but it's all good cause I've seen them over 20 times.

[secthagoals626]

I miss No Trigger :-(
Haven't seen them since May 08 with Set Your Goals, I wish they would play again soon because I'm beginning to go into withdrawal.

I wasn't able to go to any shows that night. Haha. Less Than Jake and the Flatliners was one of the others I wanted to attend; the other (and last resort, assuming the other two had sold-out) was the Murphy's Saint Patrick's Day show that I was actually working for the part-time gig I had at the time, but wasn't able to actually get a ticket to the show. Stupid.

Seeing Propagandhi/Paint It Black/No Trigger would have made my heart happy. Haha.

[prefix-core]

BUMP! September 7th is three days away. What the fuck? Can't wait...Pastepunk just had a funny tweet about it...

NO TRIGGER is up to something.... http://www.myspace.com/notrigger (odds that it involves Paper + Plastick?)

Solid guess, if I don't say so myself!

[Wobbie]

Shit yes!! Yeah, haha. I bet it'll be something on P+P. Stoked!

[ThisIsNotDan]

think they're gonna spring a release on us out of the blue? a man can dream...

[Wobbie]

Yeah, i hope so. I mean, having a mysterious date would be pretty significant, surely. And it has been a looooong time between releases.

[ThisIsNotDan]

and it's a Tuesday ;-)

fun fact: take a look at the photo url

[Wobbie]

Haha, that's pretty cool. I'd love to see a list of musicians and their day jobs. Interesting as hell.

Also, the end of the url is ntmspic. I wonder what the 'ms' stands for?

[prefix-core]

MS. Hrrrm...Now I feel like a Brand New fan chasing after meaning that probably isn't their in song lyri--uh I mean, URL. Sorry. Thought the "MS" may have had some sort of deep, dark religious meaning.

Honestly? I had no idea they were playing! Haha. I know my roommate has tickets for the Throwdown every night, so I may go to that instead--especially since I'll most likely be starting to move into a new Boston apartment...But if nothing else is going on? I'll probably go. And peace out after No Trigger. I dig Fireworks, but I've never heard Trapped Under Ice. Shrug.

Trapped Under Ice is tough-guy hardcore, essentially. I haven't heard a lot of their songs, but they're ok I guess, gonna draw alot of the central MA douche hardcore kids though. I love Fireworks too but No Trigger is the main draw since I've never seen them and I would absolutely lose my shit during "Owner Operator" or "Neon National Park"

[ThisIsNotDan]

No Trigger and Such Gold are touring Austrailia early next year...what a fun show!

[AP_Punk]

Be Honest EP (http://www.punknews.org/article/40786)

[PerfectChaos337]

New songs are really really REALLY awesome. I love this band to the max. The songs seem a lot more like modern heavy pop-punk (if that even makes any fucking sense) as opposed to their old "style" of technical punk rock, but it's all fucking good to me. No Trigger rules hard.

[prefix-core]

Be Honest EP (http://www.punknews.org/article/40786)

I love this band. A lot. When's that digital 7" gonna be released? It was supposed to be out today on Mightier Than Sword recs.

[Dre Okorley]

Loving the 7" thus far! A late entry for favorite of 2010, haha. "Tooth" is catchy as fuck and "Commonwealth" ain't half bad either. Pretty much the opposite of how I felt the first few times I heard that record.

[Dre Okorley]

Alright, got it. Hopefully they'll play some dates in the US soon.

Someone needs to introduce the OP to the search function...seriously.

[WatchMeSink]

He'd probably just introduce you to the don't give a fuck function.

[ThisIsNotDan]

Loving the 7" thus far! A late entry for favorite of 2010, haha. "Tooth" is catchy as fuck and "Commonwealth" ain't half bad either. Pretty much the opposite of how I felt the first few times I heard that record.

"Commonwealth" is good; sounds like something from Canyoneer I guess. "Tooth" surprised me with how poppy it was, but it's probably the catchiest song they've ever made. hopefully when SYG is done touring with mosh warrior madness they can do another tour with No Trigger

That would make me happy like nothing else! Haha. What would not make me happy is kids pretending they like No Trigger and referring to them as "happy hardcore."

I know it's an old topic, but holy fuck does that whole "segment" of "fans" annoy the shit out of me.

haha yeah man, love the music hate the kids. saw Transit/Borderlands a bunch of other bands a week or so ago and during Borderlands (one of the "hard" parts) these two tough guy mosh warriors windmilled one of my friends and when he pushed back the mosher punched him in the face and broke his nose and they got in a fight. facepalm

That's confusing as hell to me. Haha. I've never heard Borderlands but...I saw Transit when they opened up for the Wonder Years at the I.C.C. last winter. It was a confusing night as far as the crowd (e.g., moshing to new Wonder Years songs, kids who think A Loss For Words is more than a generic pop-punk band) but the one awesome bit was how all the other bands suffered the fate of "pop-punk moshing" while Transit fans didn't bother and just SANG ALONG!

Imagine that. Liking a band and expressing it by singing along instead of like, y'know, punching somebody in the face. It was pretty rad and solidifed my feeling that they're a band who are a "bright spot" in the scene. And for what it's worth? Late Night Wars and the Stereo State are two other MA bands doin' it right these days. Represent! Or sumpin'.

haha yeah whole lot of singalongs for Transit. so much fun. I'm not sure if you went but I went to the Gig Life tour when they had like 20 bands at the Palladium or something. Transit was playing the main stage and from afar it was pile-on city...and NO MOSHING. so refreshing

[SwiftSilentDead]

The new songs sound so much more melodic than anything I've heard from them.

Was that a few years back? With the Swellers, Four Year Strong, Set Your Goals, the Appreciation Post, Fireworks, et cetra? If so, I was there and got in JUST as Transit were finishing up their last song. :-(

"Commonwealth" is like typical No Trigger, but "Tooth" is one of the catchiest pop-punk songs I've heard in a long long time, poppier than anything on that cd

Thanks for reminding me of what I missed, dick. Haha. Seriously though -- How was it? Did the crowd seem into it? Set list? How many of the band members were wearing flannel and/or a knit ski hat? Y'know, the important stuff...

Enough with the bullshit. Tell me how the awesome bands on the bill wer--okay, haha. Sounds awesome! And that set list is definitely everything I would have wanted as well.

The "More to Offer" / "Tundra Kids" 1-2 punch must have been amazing as a closer! I'm officially jealous.

[xEmlehx]

saw them for the first time last night. they brought crazy good energy that the two previous bands before them lacked. i was rockin' out haha. will def look them up.

I think so, if not then at least I did :-d too many crowdsurfers though, every 5 seconds...good for the band, bad for me

Dying Scene interviewed Tom. (http://dyingscene.com/news/ds-exclusive-tom-rheault-no-trigger-gives-ds-a-quick-run-down-about-the-bands-absence-the-new-record-and-the-future/) They don't get too in-depth on some of the topics but regardless--it's a good read! They discuss the upcoming record, signing to No Sleep, A Wilhelm Scream, what led to the extended break, etc.

[prefix-core]

Playing Club Hell in Providence on May 13th with A Wilhelm Scream, Half Hearted Hero, and Ghost Thrower! Head? EXPLODED!

fffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Excited, much? Haha.

[PerfectChaos337]

I would really like to make it out to that. Long Island to RI is a little too extensive of a journey, but I'm going to give it a shot. AWS+NT is too good to pass up.

[ThisIsNotDan]

Excited, much? Haha.

thats two days after my last final too, I might try and go to that for sure

[prefix-core]

I saw No Trigger open for A.W.S. once and they closed their set with a cover of "Hike," declaring it a "song by little band called Smackin' Isaiah." It was pretty awesome/hilarious.

[secthagoals626]

That show with AWS is going to be fucking sick. I saw it and almost high-fived the shit out of my monitor.

[Rodeo]

Their LP is by far one of the greatest summer soundtracks ever recorded. Gets so many spins.

Glad to hear it's a solid release, though! Stoked for it.

I've only heard the two new singles on their Facebook, but I'm loving what I heard. High hopes for this album.

any idea when we get our d/l codes? No Sleep sent me B&C ones the Thursday before it was released so maybe this week?

[brandon_260]

I think No Sleep just does them on release day now. At least, that's what they have done for my past few releases.

[PerfectChaos337]

The new album is an epic harmony joyride. So, so awesome and worth the wait.

[ThisIsNotDan]

so yeah, Tycoon. it's awesome, can't wait to get my preorder

[Avalanche1]

Checking out the new album now.

[s2h72]

great album

[prefix-core]

My pre-order shipped on Friday. Hoping to get this sucker in the mail today.

Anybody care to let me know what the cover song on the CD is? Or at the very least...A hint? Trying to weigh the purchase of a CD copy.

[brandon_260]

There is a cover?

[prefix-core]

There is a cover?

Apparently...From the Facebook...

Did we mention there is a surprise on the CD version of Tycoon? Not the download, not the LP. Gotta pick up the CD to get to the bonus layer.

[brandon_260]

That's cool, but kind of a bummer. I've got the No Sleep subscription, so I would have assumed I get hooked up with the bonus stuff.

[prefix-core]

What's interesting to me is how much things have shifted. It used to be that the "bonus track" was on the digital or vinyl version of a record in an effort to boost sales. Now...It's a total 180. I don't think I know anybody who bothered buying this album on CD.

Vinyl? Yes. Digital? Definitely. But not on CD. Haha. Shifted tides and all that shit. Either way, I'll probably be picking it up on compact disc later today to find out.

[brandon_260]

If the track doesn't end up online, I'll probably end up getting the CD too. I remember being bummed out tha bonus tracks were never on CDs, but in the past year, I've switched over the vinyl, and now they are doing this.

Honestly, from how vague they're being, it seems more like a "hidden track" versus an actual "bonus track." Haha. I'm just hoping it's something special and not just the Kid Dynamite cover or whatever...

Regardless -- The whole idea of "bonus tracks" has changed substantially over the years. I remember being like, 14 or 15 and having to order the Japanese, German, Australian, etc. versions of various Green Day albums to get my hands on a bonus track or two...

I know what you're saying. I mean, I was too young at the time, but whenever I'm perusing Wikipedia articles on older albums, there like 5+ bonus tracks per album. I wish we could get that much extra music these days.

Well, that's the thing though. We do! Haha. It's just parceled out differently. Bonus 7-inches, digital only EPs, free downloads, b-sides to 7" singles, etc.

And quite frankly, I'd rather pay an extra $7 or whatever on iTunes to get five songs that would have normally gone unheard or only have been released in the UK or Japan or wherever unless you shelled out a cool $20+ to hear the album. It's a nice change of pace.

The convenience of iTunes and such is nice. I thought about 7" after I posted it. I think I actually prefer having the extra tracks on a 7" (like Rise did with Cheap Girls, Sharks, Transit) than have to import the CD, just because it is a completely separate thing, instead of another version of something you already own.

[JOliver80]

has anyone gotten this yet? mine said it shipped a few days ago but I havent received it yet.... really excited about this album

[Coloso]

definitely pumped for this i guess

[ThisIsNotDan]

the b-side is in the b-sides thread in General. cover of "Somebody to Shove" by Soul Asylum. haven't listened. this album rules though

[JOliver80]

holy shit this cover is amazing great song choice for them

[mattjritter]

i think i like this new album.

[CellarGhosts]

New album rules. And that Soul Asylum cover is fucking sweet. Really good choice for a cover song.

[phaynes1]

Really digging this still.

ehhhhhhhhhhh

Definitely. Boggles my mind that this band isn't more popular. I feel like if they got the right kind of exposure they'd blow up. I can see a lot of kids in the pop-punk/hardcore scene digging them. Or maybe that's just wishful thinking. Either way the band deserves to be huge.

And I really can't get that Soul Asylum cover out of my head lately haha. Love it.

[Starbursting]

Wanted to see what all the hype was about, and I must say I really do enjoy.

[KenneyBN]

Man, been putting off giving this record a real good listen for like 2 weeks now. How is everyone enjoying it?

[CellarGhosts]

love it.
