Frontman Barry “Baz” Mills declares, “Straight back at it, it’s what we do innit! If you came out to see us with Ugly Kid Joe and you enjoyed the experience then why not come and see us again on the ‘TRIGGERED’ headline tour! Loved playing tracks from the new album, gonna shake it up with some more new ones cos they have been really fun to play… hopefully we are hitting up a town somewhere near you, grab a ticket and come join the fun!”

There’s also a limited, special collector’s box that includes 6 LPs, 2 CDs, cassette, USB, download & the collector’s toy box, with every item (including the box!) signed by the band.
“The band have not stood still and once again deliver a hefty slab of rock n roll that pushes some otherwise unchartered musical boundaries and have ensured that it’s as exciting and fresh as ever.” (10/10) – Powerplay
“Maybe their very British, punky and unpretentious attitude will mean Massive Wagons never quite reach the arenas these songs seem tailor-made for. But we’re firmly on board their souped-up transit van heading that way.” (8/10) – Classic Rock
One of the most exciting outfits on the UK rock scene… with Triggered it really feels like they’ve made a statement that defines who they are. That it’s excellent should therefore surprise no one.” (4/5) – Sea Of Tranquility
All killer, with no filler. Damn straight. 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… Superb heavy rock n roll – plus it’s FUN!” (9/10) – MyGlobalMind
“A couple of weeks ago I thought I’d heard my album of the year… Then the new Massive Wagons album lands in my musical lap and claims top spot almost immediately. This is a fantastic album from start to finish, and will deservedly see them achieve even greater things than they already have. ” (9/10) – All About The Rock
“There’s a refreshing honesty and directness about the Wagons. There’s some edge to the lyrics but the band aren’t afraid to look for a laugh and a smile, with the songs the very definition of unpretentious fun.” – The Afterword
“The past, present and future, not to mention the true spirit of Rock and Roll. Wearing their hearts on their sleeves with passion and pride….God save Massive Wagons and all who sail in her!” – At The Barrier
