Devil Trigger

Devil Trigger are a hard rockin three piece from the Berkshire area that formed at the end of 2006 with one aim, to rock hard and true. With a love of hard riffs and soaring melodies whose contrasting tastes combine to create a greater whole. With a sound that’s been likened to bands such as Seether and Breaking Benjamin, Devil Trigger are one of the newest and most exciting heavy rock bands to come out of Reading’s thriving unsigned music scene, and are becoming reknowned for their energetic stage performances and powerful anthemic melodies. Evil never sounded so good.
