Alkaline Trio — Crimson

Penning catchy and creepily comic songs about death, dying and all stages in between, this Chicago three-piece's music matches the colour of their hearts — black. In the two short years since their last album, 2003's Good Mourning, emo-punk has caught up to Alkaline Trio and they, in turn, have taken a decided turn for the morbid — they’ve...

Alkaline Trio/One Man Army — BYO Split Series Volume V

The BYO Split Series’ lightest fare to date, the union between Alkaline Trio and One Man Army works incredibly well here. A great way to learn about bands without committing to a full-length release, it’s no wonder these have become so popular (well, the Rancid/NOFX volume surely didn’t hurt). From Alkaline Trio’s moody, introspective delivery...

Bjork's launched a trippy new...

Alkaline Trio — This Addiction

Veteran Illinois punkers Alkaline Trio return with their seventh studio album and keep things plowing straight ahead on This Addiction. The band's trademark urgency is in full effect, and while the effort is being championed as back-to-basic approach in sound and energy, the truth is this is par for the course for this venerable outfit....

Alkaline Trio — "This Addiction"

Well, when I ran into people in a field back when I was a kid, we certainly didn't burst into confetti. You're giving the kids ideas, Alkaline Trio. They're gonna end up with concussions or broken bones and hate you. "This Addiction" appears on the forthcoming album of the same name, due out Feb. 23.

Alkaline Trio Defend My Chemical Romance

Call them a group of rock' n' roll survivors. For more than 10 years now, Chicago's Alkaline Trio have slugged it out through intense touring, the festival circuits, lineup changes and multiple side projects and coming unscathed (even better, some might say) from the crash of their former label in 2007. Through it all, the threesome have...

Alkaline Trio Set The Record Straight

Nostalgia may be hitting the music industry in a big way through reunion tours, but some bands would rather bury and forget their past material. So it's kind of refreshing to see a group like Alkaline Trio return to their roots by remastering and re-releasing their original 1998 debut album, Goddamnit, which still holds up as a defining record...
