The Almighty Trigger Happy are a legendary Toronto punk band. They formed in the early 90s broke up in 99, got back together in 04 and played Toronto's Riot Fest. Other than having heard the name for years, I wasn't familiar with them. They'd probably tell me to fuck off!

They approached their early afternoon timeslot with attitude. "Fuck you, let's have a great time!" was the rallying cry. They cranked out their tunes with all the expected amounts of aggression, surfing the edges of punk and metal. It was a great way to start a kick-ass day in the sun.
