Trixter was a glam metal band formed in Paramus, New Jersey in 1984.
The band's self-titled debut album attained gold status, reaching #28 on the Billboard 200. The album did spawn three minor hit singles, "Surrender" (#72), "One in a Million" (#75), and "Give it to me Good" (#65). Their sophomore effort, Hear, was released in 1992.
The band recorded an album of cover songs, Undercovers, in 1994. This album garnered little commercial success and Trixter broke up shortly after its release.
They said their goal was to play the arena near their hometown, Continental Airlines Arena, in East Rutherford, New Jersey. This was stated on VH1's Top 40 Hair Band countdown.
