Belgian alt-rockers TRIGGERFINGER herald their forthcoming European tour with a new single.
'Stars' was produced by the duo with longtime producer Mitchell Froom (The Del Fuegos, Pretenders) and mixed by Chad Blake (Hoodoo Gurus, Pearl Jam).
“This song is basically about hope,” says vocalist Ruben Block. “I wanted to talk about intergenerational differences. How every younger generation needs to find their own way, navigating through everyday life, find a purpose, regardless of what other generations think. Where it might be easy to highlight what we don’t understand and regard it as the wrong way to go, I thought it more interesting to write an encouraging song, putting some trust in younger people, even if they chose different paths and ways to walk them, even if we don’t always understand or agree with them. The lyric could also work in the other direction, looking from an adolescent point of view to an older generation”
The band head off around Europe at the end of October. Catch them live at...
