No Trigger frontman Tom Rheault dropped us a line denying recent break-up rumors, and to provide some updates on the band’s recent happenings. Included are an upcoming set at this year’s The Fest 7, a new record, and two band members currently playing with fellow melodic hardcore brethren Set Your Goals. Here’s what Tom had to say:
So it dawned on me that there has not been any official updates from No Trigger Land recently, and today seemed like the perfect day to fill in the gaps. Today is special for a couple reasons. First of all, we would like to announce that yet again, true to all of our deep-rooted personal convictions, we will be making the pilgrimage south this fall to play THE FEST in Gainesville, Florida. This will be our next show, and its pretty spectacular because other than one show we played in Boston in May, the last show we played for you guys was last years Fest!
According to our spreadsheets, this has been the slowest touring year for No Trigger since we formed back in 2001, but there are a couple very good reasons for that. First off, Billy and Erik are also in another band called Smartbomb and they have been busy putting out a new record and touring and such, so get off our back and pick up their new CD. It’s on ThinkFast. Then, Jon has been graciously tapped by our good friends in Set Your Goals to play guitar for them for this year. We are talking the UK tour, all of Warped Tour, and more… so he has been super busy preparing and touring for that little gig. And THEN, for the next week or so, if you guys check out Set Your Goals on Warped Tour, our drummer Erik is ALSO filling in. They are playing in Massachusetts today so do not miss Set Your Goals with two No Trigger dudes filling in!
Other than that, me (singing Tom) and Tom (bass Tom) have been doing other things like working, camping, and investing in property, but we have also been writing new material. Yes, new No Trigger songs. The songs are in the early stages, but its super exciting to be working on new stuff and we will be previewing some new songs at this years FEST. The plan is also to get a bunch of songs together and record sometime this winter so we can put out a new disc and come visit you guys again, where ever you live. Its probably hard to believe but yes, we plan on putting out a new CD. And touring off of it as much as we possibly can.
The band’s last output was Canyoneer, released in 2006 via Nitro Records.
