It's a name that I'm not going to forget anytime soon. But it's more than just the name. It's the band, and the sound they have. I like techno, and I like how they incorporated it in their music to make a sound that they can use. The name made me giggle for some reason. It’s a name that I’m not going to forget anytime soon.

Finger on the Trigger just makes me squeal. There aren't any whiny vocals here, and the beat just makes you want to dance. Well, I'm definitely putting their page on my Favorite's List. I'll totally have to look for any future cds by these guys! It’s not often that a band comes out that can successfully mix techno and rock together. Finger on the Trigger just makes me squeal.

It seems to come in waves, too, as anyone familiar with the "nostalgia" craze over the Fifties in the 1970s and the Sixties in the '80s no doubt remembers. Now it's the Eighties that are "back." (Now I want to dig up my 1983 albums again!) Funny how in music, everything that is old is somehow made new again with revivals of style.

The mix of techno and alterna-rock doesn't get much better than this. I agree with Attagirl as well. I love how that "80's" is making a comeback in a good way.

An interesting blend of styles, if I do say so myself. As a music listener, I'm always fascinated by any musicians who can combine two different styles and make them mesh together. Maybe that's why, in American music, we have so much variety. I mean, even in genres most of us probably don't listen to, such as classical or jazz, there's that synergy or symbiotic relationship between styles. A good example of this is Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue...it has elements of jazz and classical. Even The Beatles, a rock band by any standard, knew how to mesh styles that were polar opposites.

I think that you have to be really strong as a band to pull this off and keep people interested. I cannot wait for more from these guys.

They are a great mash between Techno and Rock. A really great mix. I could listen to them all night!~ But, I won't. The mix of backup and lead vocals is great. They have a great writer too. And a great guitarist, for that matter. Everything about them is great. These guys are great. They are a great mash between Techno and Rock. A really great mix.

Although "a nice rock feel" sometimes is a turn-off for this rather more gentle-acoustic music lover, I do agree that the switch in timbre and tempo from acoustic to more edgy rock does work in "Finger on the Trigger." Anenberg acquits himself well as a lead guitar player, and I do like the band's overall sound. Kudos! Nice review, guys!
