Since Montreal's Trigger Effect formed in 2003 they have played over one hundred self booked shows in the last year alone in addition to three North American tours. The band recorded, released and sold their debut album "Dare To Ride The Heliocraft" independently before being coerced into a contract of re-releasing the album with additional artwork provided by the friendly folks at Signed By Force.
Using the professional moniker Turbo Machine Enterprises, their prolific exploits have included organizing and promoting the annual "Fear And Loathing In Montreal" festival, the literal battle of the bands "Rock Fight",at the underground venue Turbo Haus as well as booking their own tours. The band even filmed their own innovative stop-motion music video for the song "Scientific Method" using over 1300 individual photos.
"Dare To Ride The Heliocraft"
Remember when punk rock was still about danger and not about selling shoes? Well, Trigger Effect does. This is no nostalgic sleep walking trip, these Montreal miscreants are equally as committed to incinerating the past as they are about giving the finger to the future. "Dare to ride the Heliocraft" captures the thunderous experience felt at their live shows. The album was recorded in two overnight sessions and is a continuous, eleven song path of destruction. This is not for the faint of heart or for people scared at the sight of blood. Trigger Effect are not trying to sell shoes or even entertain you here, they are trying to obliterate the world one person at a time.
This is chaos, this is danger, this is punk rock!
This is Trigger Effect. It is not a choice but an inevitability.
