Recorded at Manor Park Studio with renowned producer Neal Calderwood, whose credits include The Answer, Fighting With Fire, Mojo Fury, LaFaro and General Fiasco, Bombs Away documents a band turning heavy riffs, melodic hooks and real-world frustration into a concentrated, defiant body of work.
For an outfit that has steadily earned respect across the competitive Irish alternative circuit, including national radio play and a semi-final place in Bloodstock’s Metal 2 the Masses, the new EP feels less like a standard release and more like a clear validation of Triggertone’s purpose.
Conceptually, “Bombs Away” is an honest exercise in collective identity, mapping personal psychological struggles alongside the intense frustrations of a changing global environment. Across four tracks, the EP moves through anti-authoritarian pressure, narrative suspense, depression, self-worth and anti-war defiance.
At their core, Triggertone remain dedicated to the true essence of garage rock music: melody, lyrics and the raw humanity of a band playing together in a room. In a landscape of rigid sub-genres and the rise of AI, the trio offer something direct and human: an immediate rock sound built to bring human beings together.
As they push forward with fresh momentum into 2026 and beyond, Triggertone prove that whatever troubles surround you, there is still a sanctuary of sound to be found within the maelstrom.
‘Bombs Away’ is released 2nd October 2026.
