Alkaline Trio To Release 'Damnesia' This July, 15th Anniversary Tour Announced
High energy melodic cult rockers Alkaline Trio will be releasing a brand new album entitled Damnesia this July 12th via Epitaph Records/Heart & Skull. The new record features a selection of beloved fan favorites selected from the group's extensive catalogue and presented in an intimate-semi unplugged format. Also included will be a cover of the song "I Held Her In My Arms" by influential indie rock trio The Violent Femmes as well as two brand new Alkaline Trio songs entitled "Olde English 800" and "I Remember A Rooftop."
Also, on sale this week are tickets for the first leg of the group's special 15th anniversary tour which kicks off July 10th. The band plans to make the tour something special for fans. As singer/bassist Dan Andriano explains, "We're looking forward to our 15th anniversary tour this summer. We're going to really try to put together a set that encompasses everything the band has done over the past 15 years and plan to play some songs that rarely find their way in to the set list. We will also play some songs in an unplugged style similar to what we've recently recorded on Damnesia. It's going to be a lot of fun."
Since forming in Illinois, in 1996, Alkaline Trio has continued to amass a devoted cult following with their infectious punk hooks and darkly dramatic tongue-in-cheek lyrics, Comprised of guitarist/vocalist Matt Skiba, bassist/vocalist Dan Andriano and drummer Derek Grant, the band has created some of punk's most memorable songs with favorites like "Radio" from the 2000 album Maybe I'll Catch Fire, "Mercy Me" from the 2005 album Crimson, "Blue In The Face" from 2003's Good Mourning and "The American Scream" from 2010's This Addiction.
