About the band

LITTLE TRIGGERS are two piece from Liverpool

With two Led by singer and guitarist Tom Hamilton and drummer Jay Radcliffe 

 

ACCLAIMED BRIT ROCKERS REVEAL NEW VIDEO ‘FEED ME’!

LITTLE TRIGGERS have just released their strikingly provocative video, Feed Me - https://youtu.be/SPpipaxDCUc   Targeted to depict cooperate consumerism, environmental neglect, and our government’s inaction to provide meals for the vulnerable, the video is a powerful and extremely relevant statement. The track lands on all streaming sites and platforms on Friday 6th November.

Emerging two-piece LITTLE TRIGGERS channel influences spanning from The Who through to Queens Of The Stone Age. Still in their early twenties, Tom Hamilton (lead vocals & guitars) and Jay Radcliffe (drums & backing vocals) have a maturity that surpasses their youth. To date, they have already toured throughout the UK, Europe and China, and have shared stages with the likes of Iggy Pop and Temples.

LITTLE TRIGGERS’ debut album, Loaded Gun, landed in 2019 and soon lit up the UK rock scene. Classic Rock Magazine backed the rocksters with a full-page feature, review and a position on the publication’s cover CD. Planet Rock playlisted the single, So Fine, for their New Rock Show, and the band picked up widespread support from Total Rock, BBC Introducing, and Louder, where they were awarded with two Track Of the Week slots. The rock ‘n’ roll newcomers also graced many Spotify curated prominent playlists, including All New Rock and Rock The World. Towards the end of the year, LITTLE TRIGGERS were once again featured in Classic Rock Magazine, appearing on their Cover CD. The new year started with a bang, and the twosome hit the road in February with a massively successful 12 date UK tour. After revising touring plans due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the duo turned their attention to writing and creating new material.  This Spring, LITTLE TRIGGERS dropped Burn to enthusiastic support. Louder/Classic Rock Magazine again included the band as part of their Tracks Of The Week features, and Wyatt Wendels once more added the twosome to his esteemed New Rock Show on Planet Rock. The single also racked up critical acclaim from a slew of radio stations across the world, as well as adorning a glut of Spotify playlists.

The band now have another single on the horizon and it’s an out and out stunner. Boasting ferocious riffs, a killer hook and inspired by our societies’ rampant consumerism, Feed Me is a bold declaration. Tom Hamilton comments: "Feed Me is inspired by the failure of our leaders to protect our planet and its people from the rampant corporate greed that is at the root of issues such as hunger, poverty and racism. I wrote the song after watching TV and social media explode with anger and fear over the Summer. The main image I had was of the planet being eaten up by greed. It is hugely ironic that, as the single is being released, the UK is in the grip of a Government scandal over its refusal to feed our own children.” Tom adds: “That's why we have decided to donate all proceeds from the single to food bank charities in our home city of Liverpool."

With further singles, an EP, and tour dates penned for 2021, LITTLE TRIGGERS are primed to break out to the masses.

My thoughts 

Feed me is packed with a 60-70’s sounding grove and riff a blistering opening, with just over 3 minutes of hooks and fun but, a strong melodic song, my personally highlight is the groovy blues backdown in the middle, overall a great track very well produced so much energy and fun.

RISING ALT-ROCKERS REVEAL NEW SINGLE & MORE!

Alt Rock newcomers GLASS WAVES have just dropped a firecracker of a single entitled Do It Again

Channeling influences from the likes of Don Broco and Queens of The Stone Age, through to Bring Me The Horizon, GLASS WAVES dispatch energetic alternative rock merged with captivating riffs and gloriously anthemic hooks. Based in Liverpool and North Wales, the newly formed fivesome consist of Bryn Williams (Lead Vocals / Synth), Tomos Gashe (Rhythm Guitar), Sion Jones (Lead guitar / Backing Vocals), Dewi Williams (Bass) and Sion Roberts (Drums). The crew originally bonded through their mutual desire to craft passionate music, framed by candid lyrics that examines real life topics that affect the world around us. Although this is a brand-new venture, all members from the band are seasoned musicians and have toured throughout the UK.

GLASS WAVES have just released their engrossing new single Do It Again. Recorded and produced by Rich James Roberts at his Ferlas Studio in Wales, the track has already attracted attention and support from BBC Introducing, Amazing Radio, a glut of websites, and has garnered strong grass roots radio airplay. The single has also been added to a plethora of Spotify playlists. The band comment about the track: “The story behind the song is about our own experience of mental health. The track is written about the experience of personal lows and breaking the stigma of mental health in men. As a whole, the band aren’t afraid of talking about the real issues going on in the world”. With further singles to follow in 2021 and the promise of a raft of UK shows for next year, GLASS WAVES are set to climb.

My thoughts 

So will start by saying that whenever a new band from Liverpool pop up regardless of my if I have heard a note of what they are about to offer to me, I’m interested why you ask quite simply over the years wales has been a strong feeder system of giving Britain some great bands, from funeral for a friend to kids in glass houses, skindred, stereophonics, the blackout and many more, I don’t know what it is about wales perhaps people are inspired by the beautiful landscapes of wales, but it sure does give us some amazing artists and bands,

Glass waves don’t disappointment with their new single do it again packed with melody and stunning tones, the track reminds a little bit of an band called kids in glass houses, it feels a bit like a track those guys would have laid down, and TBH I really like this do it again, put this on in your car put down the window and let this amazing track out, without questioning the guys take influence from some of their country’s past and present bands, this is for fans of don broco, bring me the horizon
