Belgian rock band Triggerfinger was founded in 1998 and became a live staple ever since. In 2012, they crossed over to the charts with a fun cover of Lykke Li’s I Follow Rivers, that was originally played as a gimmicky contribution to a radio show. Unexpectedly, popular demand made the gimmick Triggerfinger’s only hit to date, although the song is far from representative of the band’s trade mark sound. If you want to know how they really sound, go to a Triggerfinger concert (the band’s natural habitat). Expect hard, bluesy stoner rock, comparable with Queens Of The Stone Age and Led Zeppelin.

Their new single could give the band a shot at their second hit. Flesh Tight sounds like the younger brother of Roxy Music’s Virginia Plain and David Bowie’s Boys Keep Swinging. It’s a plain swinging track, so to speak…
