MASSIVE WAGONS – Triggered! (2022)

Ringleaders in new Rock N’ Roll MASSIVE WAGONS have announced their new album ‘Triggered‘, out 28th October 2022. Having grown from beloved local heroes (becoming the first ever Lancashire band to achieve a UK Top 40 album with their UK #16 album ‘Full Nelson’ in 2018) to national treasures within the New Wave of Rock’n’Roll, Massive Wagons have crafted an all new album of heavy duty rock’n’roll that stays true to the band’s influences whilst also pushing past the boundaries of what fans have experienced on previous albums.
Adding twists of power-pop and twinkles of yacht rock, whilst keeping frontman Barry “Baz” Mills’ iconic lyricism and the band’s electrifying no-nonsense classic rock recipe, the album proffers tracks which will prove to be huge anthems in the live arena.

Massive Wagons have a formula that revolves around a classic rock with many twists and often eloquent lyrics. They keep it fun even when they are singing about some serious social commentary. They kick off with the stomping ‘Fuck The Haters’ which has one of those catchy melodies that they seem to be able to write in their sleep then we get kinda alt/new wave on ‘Please Stay Calm’, something a bit different with the choppy riff and Baz’s spoken word verses before they punk it up on the chorus.

‘Generation Prime’ is an absolute banger featuring Benji Webbe helping with the social commentary and includes some crazy reggae lines too. ‘A.S.S.H.O.L.E’ is more commentary on a big brassy rocker than the restrained ‘Skateboard’ gets the head nodding.
Then we get the immense title track ready for a stadium storm. ‘Giulia’ is another stomper before the melodic rocking gem of ‘Germ’ and the summery ‘Never Been A Problem’. There’s some southern on ‘Big Time’ then rapid rocker ‘Sawdust’ takes us to the final cut ‘No Friend Of Mine’ which weaves around on a darker edgier groove.

Massive Wagons channel all the right influences into their sound and they remain quintessentially British with it. They are punchy with the riffs and seriously melodic on the vocals plus the rhythm section is tighter than a duck’s butt.
This is good heavy rock n’ roll – plus it’s Fun!
