Formed in Los Angeles, CA in 2001 by Mike Bashur (guitar), Dave Gentry (drums), and Taylor Wallace (vocals), and joined in 2004 by Paul Kelly (bass), who would complete the machine that is Trigger Point, it was inevitable then, that this combination of ability, influences, and ambition would soon be making waves in the national hard rock scene. Coming from three different parts of the U.S. with one goal in mind, to give the fans what their idols gave to them - a soundtrack to life.

Before signing with up-and-coming indie powerhouse Corporate PunishmentRecords, Trigger Point had been at the forefront of the hardcore hard rock scene in Los Angeles since their inception, taking over the West Coast with an undeniable and impeccable live show, and a unique sound, a delicate balance of unforgettable melodies, commanding guitar riffs, and chest pounding grooves.. With their debut full-length album A Silent Protest produced by Logan Mader (Machine Head, Soulfly) set for release in September 2005, the reparation of rock has begun.

Right now they're searching for a new bass player.

Seven
Trigger Point Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can’t you see that the world has been deceived
We’ve been masked by tyranny, Overrun by wealth and greed
And the price of life has been down to feed your wealth and keep your
crown
Of thorns you wear but I’m not scared to fight for right or loose my
life but
I won’t die for you
But I’m still ready to die for something

I won’t die for you
But I’m still ready to die for something else
And we will still be here waiting when they come home
Just like before
And I hope that the blood of the children stains your dreams
It stains your dreams
For all these years you have manufactured fears
The problem that your facing here is we still have our eyes and ears
We will not stand another day, the sacrifice the price we pay
Is that you throw our lives away when we don’t get to have a say
But
I won’t die for you
But I’m still ready to die for something
I won’t die for you
But I’m still ready to die for something else
And we will still be here waiting when they come home
Just like before
And I hope that the blood of the children stains your dreams
It stains your dreams
Will we ever learn
Or will the violence kill us all
As we slowly watch our world fall
I see their faces
You cant erase this
And in my dreams I still see peace

But at this rate it will never be
I will never die for you
