Canadian skrap metal innovators FINAL TRIGGER are proud to announce the release of their new album ‘Skrap Metal Vol. II’ on July 9th via Boonsdale Records. The album is the follow up to their 2009 debut ‘Skrap Metal’, which received critical acclaim in Canada and the US with success on college radio charts and their single ‘Start A Moshpit‘ receiving regular video rotation on Canada’s Much Loud. Over the years FINAL TRIGGER have toured as direct support for Mushroomhead across the USA, along with sharing the stage with such acts as Suicidal Tendencies, Marilyn Manson, Dillinger Escape Plan, Protest The Hero, Baptized In Blood, Hail The Villain, Threat Signal, Slaves On Dope, Agent Orange, Blaze Ya Dead Homie, Boondox and more.

Drummer JJ Tartaglia comments:

“This new album is definitely the closest we’ve gotten to capturing the energy ofFinal Trigger on record. It’s heavier than the last one, but also more dynamic. There’s something for everyone – the anthem, the epic, the metal, the hip-hop, the catchy. Our overall sound has matured nicely, and I’m confident the fans will be satisfied. It’s a flagship release for cross-over metal, a testament to Final Trigger’s vision and a trophy for Canadian music.”

Combing high-energy metal with a hip-hop feel, FINAL TRIGGER creates a unique sound and a sick vibe, with vocal hooks and anthem choruses that are undeniable to any listener.

The band has unleashed its first single and music video ‘Face It’ in support of the album at the following link:

About: FINAL TRIGGER’s story begins on ‘The Block’, nestled deep in Toronto’s urban jungle. Crime and poverty stricken, amongst a haven of thugs and deadbeats, four musically talented characters cross paths.

The spark of a lighter in a dark alley, smoking joints over the talk of escape and rebellion. A dream of a better life, where money/weed/bitches are a plenty. Free-styling with homies, rolling dirty, and dropping out of school to jam and pursue music. Most of all: a pact that would bind each member to a common cause, and entwine their fates forever. These are the fundamentals on which Final Trigger was born, and would lead it to become what it is today.

The Four Horsemen:

Lead Vocalist/Guitarist J-Roc provides the guitar-driven structures and shredding guitar solos with a tone reminiscent of Dimebag Darrell and Dave Mustaine. All while ripping vocal screams that would rival a Frankenstein of Lamb Of God, Snot and Hed PE.

Bass-man/Vocalist Fazio brings an equally heavy but funky vibe. He plays with a rock-solid presence and slap-bass style, with influences of Cliff Burton and Marcus Miller combined. Not to mention the ability to free-style vocally as if James Brown joined the Wu Tang Clan.

DJ/Vocalist Profit brings the smooth hip-hop vibe to the music, spitting savvy rhymes with old-school swagger, and tasteful keys and scratches.

Drummer extraordinaire JJ Tartaglia contributes the backbone beats and rhythms with a metal/funk style to get the groove just right. Blazing double kicks, sky-high cymbals, and a visual style unlike you’ve ever seen.

These players are the magical combination that makes Final Trigger an all-star line-up, and 2nd to none. The band believes hard in their music, and are proud to live their lyrics and image.

L-R: Alexandre Pépin – Bass | Francois -Michel Beauchamp – Drums, Backup Vocals | David Groover – Lead Vocals, Guitar

One of the hottest flames to rise out of Montreal’s musical blaze, The In & Outs, a high voltage, electrifying experience are proud to announce they will be unleashing their second full-length, ‘Zero Gravity’ on June 11th and in celebration of the upcoming release, the band is offering their single ‘There We Go’ for FREE download at the following link below.

FREE DOWNLOAD – http://theinnouts.bandcamp.com/

Expertly fusing rock riffs with cheeky lyrics and the occasional hint of funky blues, only begins to underline the trio’s vast influences from diverse genres, ranging from Johnny Cash to The Doors, passing through Elvis Presley and John Spencer.

Lyrically eclectic and musically unrivalled each and every In & Outs song demonstrates a profound love of music and reflects the ups and downs of life and the essence of a society where creating your own opportunities leads to self-fulfilment, all of which is transmitted to their audiences through a hypnotic stream of sound and energy.

Landing a commercial placement in a 2011 Ford Focus televised ad in Quebec with their track ‘Steep Mountain’ (video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAoRDl-VM2g), along with their songs ‘Celebrate Consumption’ and ‘Boo My God’ used for Sports Network (RDS) show H2Snow (video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9WcXbQXYWQ), The In & Outs have progressed in the Montreal music scene and beyond, touring Europe in 2012 and performing at multiple festivals in support of last year’s self-titled EP and their debut album, ‘Ascending Back and Forth’.

Vocalist/ Guitarist David Groover comments:

‘Last year was a crazy one for science, astronomy and for us too! During a festival in France inside an Irish tent, we stopped in the middle of a song and yelled to the crowd: ”Mesdames et messieurs, right now, as we speak, we are on Mars!’ as a rover was landing on Mars while we were playing new songs for the Breton crowd. From Dublin to Switzerland and France, we got inspired every single day. You can hear in the intro and outro of ‘Sleepy Sheep’ – the last track of the album – sounds of sheep that we recorded in the south of France. The album title, ‘Zero Gravity’, is dedicated to discovery and life itself.’
