An album about finding love within yourself. An album for people who just love music and songwriting. It is filled with songs about love and loss and being alone with yourself as the sun goes out.

Squeeze Trigger was born in a small room in Hyde Park MA on a night which refused to be still. Sounds vibrated through the air and a keyboard stand had a trigger to squeeze. Will and Drew teamed up with Dan Joseph and our trio became complete. At one point Squeeze Trigger was a five and sometimes six person band. Members came and went and to those we thank you. And to all of those who have come to see us play throughout the three or so years we've been around for all of this, we want to thank you all from the bottom of our hearts.

Music is truly food for the soul, and as we think about the times we've been through, the friends we have made, the people we only get to see sometimes, to those we've never met before or will never meet again. Everyone is a music lover. We are no different, we love music. We love playing music, and we know that each of us is the same in this. Music gives us hope, it gives us something outside of ourselves to relate with and to connect to. At the end of the day we are all individuals, and each one of us is unique. We have different tastes and interests. Different ways in which we spend our time, but we have music through it all. We crave, as artists, for our voices to be heard, not for fame or recognition, not for money, but for the love of each other. For the ability to connect with other people and objects, animate and not. Each individual is an accumulation of bubbling emotions, and experiences, memories and dreams, of all the stuff that we are made of back to the dawn of conscious man. Each of us is everything. At each moment we are a specific occurrence of everything that has ever been: a new thing. We may not know what we want, or what we need. We may not understand where we are in our lives or why, but through all of this we have music to create a noisy backdrop, a soundtrack for our lives. And for those of us who create, this is a way for us to express ourselves, a way to reach out and try to understand. We are all each capable of living through great joy and sadness, tremendous bliss and suffering. We put ourselves out there to reach out to you. To all of you. And for that we thank you.

Our album Tough Love has now been mastered thanks to the kind and patient folks over at Audio Science Mastering. This album has been a working experience for us at Squeeze Trigger, and throughout our time we have been laboring on realizing it. And now that it has finally become actualized we are eternally grateful. We no longer live in a world where the arts are being stifled, with the internet, with technology we can now accomplish anything we choose to set our minds to. We want you to hear it so you can get to know us, and through it we can get to know you. We are beings of love, starbeings full of light and laughter. All of us. We tickle each others ear drums with colorful vibrations that speak to the soul eternally.

We love you all. So, to everyone: keep being awesome people, be good to yourselves and to each other, to friends and strangers, neighbors and foes. Try to understand that there is not enough time to be angry or upset, there is no time to hold grudges, and realize that whatever is keeping you from friends or family, we are all just on a strange journey home, back into ourselves, to become again. And whatever will be will be. We cannot take the same path, but we are all going in the same direction. Call out to each other for help along the way, if somebody has a light, shine it for others in the darkness, so that they too can try to find their way. This is not to say that all you need is happiness, or that positivity alone will carry you through. We need acceptance and understanding, and above all patience with ourselves and with each other.
