About Me

Rigger are not your typical metal band. Their wide musical influences and diverse playing style set them apart from the pack. They have a fine-tuned, grinding set that never fails to impress audiences, commanding attention wherever they go.

Members came from various local bands when they reached the end of the line and the instant chemisty that kicked off produced the 1st demo Red which gathered rave reviews.
"..a carefully tailored slice of 21st century MTV2 rock." Fastfude.com
"Powerful, cohesive and exciting." "I’ve seen these guys live and they’re a machine" Eamonn P Keyes (EPK music)
The band were not convinced they had untapped all of their potential and decided to go straight back into the studio to record Blue. this record proved to be a benchmark and was more definitive of their style and stronger in its content. Blue was greeted with even more praise:
"...music of this calibre demands the most be made of it." Ciaran Tracey
Rigger proceeded to play a number of prestigious shows and events and settled into a writing routine. They spent the next year sharpening their teeth on the local live scene while their songwriting became even more finally tuned.
The band have now truely developed their own style, massively heavier than before but never shying away from the hooks than stick in people’s head and have endeared them to all who have witnessed them.
2007 will be a year not to forget, with debut album "Ergonomics" nearing its final stages of completion the band are hungry and have what it takes to make a lasting mark on the UK metal scene.
"..the quality cannot be denied, they are helping to take Northern Irish metal scene up a level" Metal Ireland
