"Smoke Show is a pure blast of smart vintage power pop."
- Pittsburgh Post Gazette
"Smoke Show is easily one of the strongest and most assured local releases so far this year. Like we expected anything less."
- Pittsburgh City Paper
Triggers began in the Spring of 2005 when Brett Zoric and Joe Salmond, formally of the band Monarch (Northern Records) hooked up with Adam Rousseau and Rich "Woody" Kawood, formally of locals The You (Pure Tone Music) in the hopes of starting a new musical project. The four quickly began writing, making demos, playing shows, and doing other normal band things. Soon after the formation of the band however, Salmond left to join the US military and was replaced by local guitarist turned bassist Joe Kasler.
After solidifying their lineup, Triggers set about recording tracks that would become their debut EP. "Elude the Suits" was self released in December of 2006 and was hailed as "different and exciting" and "an ambitious hint at future accomplishment" by local media.
In the summer of 2007, Triggers began the recording of their first full length LP with producer/engineer John Hiler (Smashing Pumpkins, Liz Phair, Steven Stills, The Frogs, Danzig). The tracks were recorded at Mr. Smalls Studio and The Machine Age in Pittsburgh, and mixed later that Fall in Los Angeles. The album is called "Smoke Show" and was released in March, 2008.
Triggers has played extensively in Pittsburgh and beyond, including: New York City, Washington DC, Philadelphia, Chicago, Cleveland, Arlington, Buffalo, Jamestown, Northampton, Morgantown, Williamsport, California, and more...
The band has also had the pleasure of playing with the following bands: The Walkmen, Little Joy, Men Women & Children, French Kicks, Bedouin Soundclash, We Are the Fury, White Rabbits, The Dead Trees, Super System, American Bang, The Plastic Constellations, French Toast, and others...
