My Pal Trigger were a punk/emo band from the great state of Fl. Their members were  David, Jack, Jeremy, and Thomas Ellison. You most likely saw them playing a lot of shows in the late 90s with Discount.

You can find a bunch of their stuff on ashtraymonumentcol.wixsite.com

I reached out to David and Jack, asked if they’d like to chat, they were thrilled and this is what we talked about:

• Destroying punk houses on tour
• The new Metal version of My Pal Trigger
• Jack meeting his drum teacher in a random parking lot
• The schoolhouse venue in Fl
• Talking about the Jersey scene
• The enormous size of Florida
• Chooch
• Long ass drives on tour
• Wesley Willis
• The rope swing story
• And a ton more
