Progressive influences are definitely a big part of the music because the band wants to sound different than most of the bands in the scene. So pounding rhythms, soothing soundscapes and relatable lyrics are to be expected.
Trip Trigger takes you to a world where everyone can find his/her own.

HISTORY

Trip Trigger was founded in 2008 The band consists of five energetic musicians, Joost Kralt (vocals), Bjorn van der Ploeg (Bass), Kevin Hoogervorst (Guitar), Paul Hoogervorst (Drums) and Erik van Ittersum (Keys).

Paul and Kevin put the pieces of the machine together. After they had seen Bjorn play in a local club, they knew they had found their bassist. After a few jam sessions with the guys Bjorn became an official member of the project now known as Trip Trigger. Finding a singer proved to be more difficult than expected. After months of looking around, the band discovered one of their best friends’ hidden talents. Joost was asked to become the lead singer; with his voice and deep lyrics he proved the right man for the job. When the guys decided the sound machine needed to evolve by adding keyboards, the extremely talented keyboardist Erik van Ittersum was added to the lineup. Trip Trigger is complete!

Through the years, Trip Trigger hit the stage in several towns throughout Holland, won OJC Fascinus’ Battle of the Bands, made it to the finals of the Popprijs Holland Rijnland, and the preliminaries of the Rob Acda Awards at the Patronaat in Haarlem.

In October 2008, Trip Trigger recorded its first demo tracks at The Box Studios in Katwijk, which were masterd by MasteringedStudios. The demo contains 2 songs: Able and Be Here Now. .
