King Trigger


King Trigger were a British band. They are best known for their single "The River", which charted at No. 57 in the UK Singles Chart, and No. 32 in Australia.
The band formed as Screaming King Trigger, from a previous band called Scoop. They attracted the attention of the Thompson Twins, who gave them a support slot on a UK tour. This brought them to the attention of Chrysalis Records. They were on the cover of Melody Maker in February 1982, before they had even recorded.
They were covered in NME soon after, the journalist comparing their music to Pigbag, Bow Wow Wow and Adam and the Ants.
They recorded one album, Screaming, produced by Steve Lillywhite, in 1982. The album did not chart, and nor did the second single, "Temptation". The album was reissued in 2007.
