Ready to rock!

Last night saw the beginning of the final stage, in what has been over a year of hard work. Itchy Trigger Finger have finished their long-awaited E.P The Wrong Side of Misery.

The band sat in the studio listening to the final mix of all five tracks, with smiles on their faces. The recording process hasn’t been an easy one, plagued by technical and financial difficulties, as the band adjusted to the change in lineup to eventually find their very unique progressive anthem metal sound. The 5-track recording runs over 42 minutes, making it more of a mini-album, filled with incendiary guitar solos, chunky riffs, odd time signatures and anthems that are sure to cause spinal damage.

Cover art has been finalised, the final track listing has been decided as: ‘Perfect Reality’, ‘What Have We Done Now’, ‘God Said’, ‘Measure of a Man’ and the ‘Wrong Side of Misery’, in that order. You’ll be able to get an advanced preview of the songs on the SoundSystem Podcast Special with ITF, just before the official launch. The launch date and details will be announced as things are finalised giving time for mastering and duplication.

The launch date will also be the same day that Itchy Trigger Finger launch their brand new website to replace the itfrock forum. The site is in the final stages and will still contain the forum area but it will also have music, merchandise and a host of other things.

The galleries will hold over 150 unseen photographs of ITF, featuring: gigs, promo-shoots, behind the scenes, fans and artwork. The Finger Diaries, my on the road accounts with ITF will be there as well as a blog to keep everyone updated. The video section will contain footage from gigs, the studio, on the road madness and some bloopers, not forgetting the two music videos to be shot this summer. The site will also be the best place to check tour dates for the upcoming nationwide tour.

In the words of Itchy Trigger Finger; “Progression, onwards and upwards!”
