Trigger Point formed in Los Angeles in the early 2000s, and independently released their debut album
A SILENT PROTEST, produced and mixed by Logan Mader (Five finger death punch, Machine
Head), in 2003, before signing to Corporate Punishment Records who re-released it Worldwide in
2005.
The album quickly garnered (inter) national attention, as the band toured nationally through
the 2000s. sharing stages with the likes of 36 Crazyfists, Shenoah, Hatebreed, Motorhead, Meshuggah,
Otep, Devil Driver, and more, with fans drawn to their fresh mix of thrashy, screamo-tinged, melodic
hard rock, that, while keeping up, diverged from the dominant nu-metal of the day.
A Silent Protest became an underground favorite, and in 2007 the band entered the studio with
Producer Shaun Lopez (Crosses, Far, Deftones), to record their critically acclaimed follow-up Giving
up the Ghost, but unable to secure a new label partner after the demise of the band’s label, Corporate
Punishment Records, Trigger Point went on an indefinite hiatus.
In 2014, the band once-again partnered with Corporate Punishment’s Thom Hazaert, and
independently released Giving Up The Ghost, debuting with a full album premiere on REVOLVER
MAGAZINE, (who also premiered the track “Letters To The Living”, and the video for “Cabin
Song”), and brought the band international attention once again.
Released before the advent of the streaming era, A Silent Protest has been noticeably absent from
modern streaming services for the last 2 decades. Now the band has secured the rights to the recordings
and answered the demands of fans around the world to finally bring this lost cult-classic album back to
the masses.
