Trigger - Second Round Vinyl LP

In the mid ’70s, Trigger earned a reputation along the Jersey Shore for their electrifying live shows, airtight harmonies, and arena-ready riffs, earning them a deal with Casablanca Records thanks to support from labelmates KISS. They are the reason Foreigner didn’t name themselves Trigger, as first planned. Upon finishing their second album, Casablanca abruptly shuttered, their album shelved. Now, decades later, Second Round will finally be heard, offering a time capsule to a band at peak creativity—undeniably powerful, unapologetically melodic, and long overdue for the recognition. Second Round finally brings to life the lost chapter of Trigger’s story. Their 1978 self-titled debut showcased dynamic songwriting and relentless energy, leading them to tour with Cheap Trick and The Godz. They quickly begin work on a second album. Recorded at the legendary Record Plant and Electric Lady Studios, Second Round would be the next step, but it was never released. Thanks to a record-collecting
