Picasso Trigger - Valentine 7'' (Jettison, 1993)

Picasso Trigger
Valentine 7''
Jettison

Rating: 7.5 European marquees out of 10

At a time when most of what was coming out of the Triangle was pretty straight-forward indie rock, Picasso Trigger came on the scene full of piss and vinegar sounding like King Gordon-fronted sonic youth on a punk rock binge.  The title track is also on their great debut album "Fire in the Hole," something I'm almost positive I owned on cassette even though it's not listed on Discogs.  The B-side is equally worthy of attention, a strong jam named "Calling God."  Pretty sure if this band came out today it would be hot shit with the kids.
