Reviews

This review is to be my debut onto the punkbands.com site, and although I'm extremely excited to write for punkbands.com, I sympathize with long time reviewers that probably get three albums like this a week. I just hope that not every time I look in the mail I get the same rehashed "punk hardcore" music, as No Trigger's PR department claim in the one and a half page description of the band.
 
One and a half pages, on this band, wow. Who ever wrote this thing is brilliant, because there is no way I could write that much about such a mundane band. Now you may be asking, Mikey, what the fuck does any of this have to do with a music review?  Alright jerks, I'll get to the music itself now. Basically take your average Nitro records new punk rock bands, add some double synch guitar riffs, semi raspy vocals, and the same drum fill ten million times, and you have No Trigger. 
 
This is the first full length effort by the band, but sounds like all the other bands they are trying to gain respect from, but minus catchiness, or originality.  They start off with someone switching their rhythm toggle switch on their guitar, very classy, and kick into your average 4/4 "hey check it out we feel ways about things" punk rock song called "The (Not So) Noble Purveyors Of The Third Or Fourth Coming".  This wouldn't be so bad for the band if they actually took what they were trying to do and turn it into I don't know, something someone may want to listen to.  I honestly have no idea how punk rock is going to survive in this new world of European dance garage rock, and their imitators.  
 
If you're into hearing the same song 12 times in a row for 30 minutes, by all means buy this album, it's very tight, lots of "gang" shouting vocals, and an acoustic guitar thrown in the middle for good measure.  At the end of the press release No Trigger say they would like to venture into the unknown to carry the torch of bands like Minor Threat and Lifetime.  All I have to say is that's never going to happen if you keep throwing up repetitive boring garbage like this, please for your own sake, keep your day jobs.
