Alkaline Trio on Losing Eyes, Messing with the Great Unknown and "Is This Thing Cursed?"

Рет қаралды 78,365

Күн бұрын

The legendary Alkaline Trio are poised to release their long-awaited record "Is This Thing Cursed?" and caught up with APTV while on tour to discuss wild Tarot readings, literary influences and literally gouging eyeballs.
Matt Skiba and Dan Andriano also discussed the importance of loving what you do in life, the influence of David Lynch and Stanley Kubrick on Alkaline Trio lyrics and the similarities between the band's latest record and their first-the searing punk opus "Goddamnit." Skiba also explained the high demand for fan-favorite "Radio" and how their current tour has cemented the song onto every setlist for the rest of Trio's career.

3.29 Personally my favourite Alkaline Trio song in 'Good Bye Forever'. It's an early song that has a fantastic guitar rift by Matt Skiba (accompanied by a melodious lyrical style that is both hypnotic in it's softness and grating in his yelling), an astounding bass riff (that is slick, detailed, relaxed, and yet somewhat perfunctory in the way he plays it), and the energetic and exiting drumming that accompanied the song (I apologise as I can't remember who drummed for you in that track, but it was great).

No, it's been there. I saw a docu-style clipshow of behind the scenes with the band from YEARS ago, where Matt talked about living with Dan and climbing between their house and a neighbor's then diving through Dan's window to get in when the bar would take his keys, and feeling guilty for "Silence of the Lambs fucking SWAT team at 4 AM"-ing Dan. They also talked about renting a bounce house when they'd throw parties because the cops that came to respond to a noise complaint would get distracted and just ask questions about the bounce house because they were gonna rent one later.

They've been side by side now for 22+ years and to me the most consistent band out there. And judging on the stuff they released about 2 months ago, getting better and better.

Saw them a couple weeks ago and Matt was playing the wrong chords to songs and singing the wrong lyrics. I mentioned to my buddy that it looked like he was messed up on Opiates. This interview makes me wonder that even more. Matt is sweating a bunch, has the unmistakable Opiate raspy voice, and stumbling through answers. Dan seems super composed and shoots Matt weird looks throughout the entire interview. I hope I am wrong, but if I am not I hope Matt is able to figure this all out.
