trigger incident

Trigger Incident is a frenetic 4-piece rock band based in Barrie Ontario.Drawing on influences as diverse as, The Dillinger Escape Plan, The Beatles and The Mahavishnu Orchestra, Trigger Incident’s sound is nothing short of a staccato machine gun riot, a rolling roar of super-amplification and syncopation, inviting comparison with the Mars Volta, Tool and Primus. The band are building an ever increasing live following with their well crafted songs, powerful performances and mesmerizing stage presence.

Formed during the winter of 2004, Trigger Incident’s tight sound is by no means accidental. Brett Caswell is an accomplished vocalist and guitarist, garnering experience and accolades with the likes of Pornofuk and Fight Like Gentlemen. Evan Rosevear has been involved in the local music scene for a number of years, honing his skills in noise-rock, ska and blues groups. Looming large behind a bank of pedals, Lee Burmania creates many of the atmospheric early Floyd-like effects heard on Trigger Incident’s debut demo disc. Rounding out the quartet is Bryan Lake, the drummer and the backbone of Trigger Incident’s sound.

Live performances are where Trigger Incident are making their biggest impact. Brett’s almost trance like stage presence leads the band through the eye of a potential hurricane of carefully controlled chaos, a soundscape of pure unadulterated emotion. With enduring intensity the band remain tightly metronomic and focused, as the audience are led with almost childlike rapture through the power, the ambience and the schizophrenic reverberation of their set.

In their short existence the band have headlined the ‘Rock Nouveau’ portion of the Barrie Jazz Festival and been selected to participate in the 2006 SCENE Music Festival, as well as having shared the stage with the likes of .moneen., Boys Night Out, and Jerrycan. With good times, and maybe a story or two the only object, Trigger Incident are ready to play anywhere, anytime, for anyone.
