Alkaline Trio Bio.......
Living on a diet of alcohol and Punk with extra substance provided by drugs. Alkaline Trio silence the people that plague their wisdom of producing marvel’s set around their analysis of the underbelly of Chicago and a strewn mindset. Catching their Faithful with hooks, the observers feel the emotion spill from minds profoundly gifted. Alkaline Trio proposed to punk, later marrying it. Taking its followers on a honeymoon with shit loads of compassion. Alkaline Trio’s input progresses beyond cliché’s; they are a unit sent to address a Punk Army that bows in ecstasy. Commencing in early 1998 with Godamit, with a collection of raw, cranky songs burning with desire. Front man Matt Skiba, Bassist Dan Adriano, and Drummer Derek Grant formulated a tendency to barricade themselves off from other bands that tried to elevate to their league. Godamit was the start to a crusade were success beckoned.
Alkaline Trio brought forward ‘Maybe I’ll Catch Fire’ in 2000 to add another raw impose. Still as electric and lyrically immaculate as godamit, still previewing a brittle life. The albums main attraction was ‘Radio’ a song with a heartfelt centre. Fans eased themselves into its brilliance. ‘Shaking like a dog shittin' razorblades, waking up next to nothing after dreaming of you and me, I'm waking up all alone, waking up so relieved’ Matt writes about his sleeping pattern, haunted by a lost lust. ‘Taking your own life with boredom, I’m taking my own life with wine -it helps you to rule out the sorrow, it helps me to empty my mind’ He labels his life as an alcohol fuelled one, stating the substance as a suppressant to crush the strain of torture he feels. ‘I've got a big fat fuckin' bone to pick with you my darling, In case you haven't heard I'm sick and tired of trying, I wish you would take my radio to bathe with you, plugged in and ready to fall’ The chorus places the annalist into a thought provoking mode, leaving a lasting effect. Matt hits out, bellowing out his gut twisting feelings with an acoustic gem that offers a preview of the trenches he’s stuck in, with no release lever.
Matt Skiba was born to engage musically. Becoming a muscle stimulant for Music’s flabby outlook. Branching outwards in a world were pain is contagious, were drugs become a supplement for him to confide in. He has the reluctance not to lie down to the God’s, preferring the devil as a role model. His mind empties into his mouth, to spew an array of lyrical gems. He was responsible for the upraise of a band on the warpath to reach out to its fans, and that was as a priority above fame.
Trying to address Music that is harshly underdressed, Alkaline Trio developed a sound worthy of punk/rock’s approval. Fighting generic sounds like a raging bull, Alkaline Trio released follow up creation ‘‘The Alkaline Trio’’ in 2001. A self-titled album with a mysterious undertone previewing the battle with drugs and self-realisation. Matt Skiba developed into a true titan among songwriters; his lyrical content was a reminder of the musical ammo he placed in the gun of justice. The album contained ‘Goodbye Forever’ a song that stabilised the band as the dark gods of punk. A ferocious, articulate analysis of relationships full of heartbreak and scars. You can almost feel the vulnerability. This Chicago Trio could do no wrong; they enabled a fan base, starting a revolution in small paces with music Satan would bellow out in the shower.
Chicago’s drug culture is a rife excuse for the City’s poverty. The severity of the problem hits record scales. A city that is famous for its deep dish pizza, lies a upon a substance ridden underground. That is were the inspiration and driving lyrics surface, when Alkaline Trio pen down their thoughts. Drugs, alcohol and depressive motives all bundle in to a concoction, a cocktail with a potency to enlighten any dim party. Those raw contributions ignited a spark, burrowing the under-skin of Rock, juicing it for all its attention.
Alkaline Trio form a pact of listeners that feel the passions that stream. 3rd contribution ‘From Here to Infirmary’ enlightened a new found glory as the band nestled into the arms of the fans that witnessed the commence at the blood soaked banquet. A free-flowing melodic input with an underlining of profound expression and detail. Alkaline Trio hit a tender nerve without punching their routes in the face. ‘Private Eye’ starts the track-list as a true staple, ferociously pulling the reviewer in and engulfing them into a sway. The song bolsters an album that is nearly flawless, as the guitar intro marries the vocals with undying love.
Matt Skiba writes honestly with a dash of crudeness, he sings about love-loss, and disarming from reality as drugs barricade him. ‘New Years Eve Was as Boring as Heaven, I Watch Flies Fuck on Channel Eleven’ a poetic analyse of a severe drug intake. He ferociously balls out is on take on a Murder Scene. ‘‘I Dredged This Lake Looking for Corpses, Dusting For Prints Prying Up the Floorboards’’ The track has a spooky definition. He reviews how he smokes him-self to slumber ‘and there's no ring, there's no ring on the phone anymore, There’s no reason to call I passed out on the floor, Smoked myself stupid and drank my insides raisin dry’ the character seems to be a police officer falling from grace. Alkaline Trio tell a story with a defining plot in everything they produce, which is a unique and rare strategy in a Music World were look is more judged than lyrical content.
‘From Here to Infirmary’ was the defining collection that stated a protest, a protest against people who thought ‘punk’ was genre growing stale and surpassing its sell by date. Yeah Alkaline Trio don’t harbour the tongue and cheek inventiveness of British punk like the Sex pistols or the Clash, but pay homage to the dark side of the genre which makes them a rare breed. Not a superficial band with multiple e numbers or colourings to aid their ego, that’s were music is heading, into a sanctum of emulation. Where bubble gum bands take shelter, wrapped in a cotton wool overcoat.
Alkaline Trio moved away from media attention, quietly sitting back, sipping their success. The band took a spell to ready themselves for another assault. ‘Good Mourning’ edged into the array as a fresh new cause in 2003. Bearing all the darkness and growling vocals, the album was destined for 1st grade. Not relying on the same terms, Good Mourning was a productive marvel with a glittering new sheen. Lyrically imaginative, Matt Skiba writing style changed and became more direct, he issued out his feelings without any precaution.
The potent drench of Punk would be delivered by ‘This Could Be Love’ a song with a care-free attitude. Matt growls out his discontent of his lost-love and his shivering mindset, he sings of his lust killing him in a drastic fashion. It’s a brilliant track, describing a mind running riot. ‘I don't blame you for walking away i'd do the same if i saw me i swear it's not contagious in four short steps we can erase this’’. Matt Skiba showed his resurgence to form, bellowing out his gut feelings with precision and class.
2005 brought on ‘Crimson’, a collection bustling with Musical urgency and rock steady triumphs. The customer would venture into a World when inhaling ‘Crimson’ in all its glory. Could be Alk3’s tastiest array yet? With appetizers ‘Time to Waste’ and ‘Burn’ to get the punk soaked tongue’s wagging. But Sadie prominently made ‘Crimson’ the most endearing bible to date. A song surveying ‘Susan Atkins’ aka Susan Gutz’ partake in a gruesome murder in ‘Charlie Mason’s’ crime novel. Alkaline Trio describe the incident vividly adding catchy hooks for good measure. The preview sends a shiver of nostalgia, without digging deep into a story that is prominently grizzly. ‘You're on your own my little nightmare, Your job is done here, you've scared 'em all to death, If they revive them just sit there, just smile dear, Make them thankful for every breath’ the lyrics tell the story in such an immediate way without wearing the plot to mush.
Alkaline Trio pounced upon punk, adding their own brand. Maybe with a darker tinge but with an honest swagger. Rallying a new Rock order, addressing the youth that bow to them, Chicago dark princes tell their story of breaking barriers, dysfunction and personal battles. Fans lap up everything from their beloved trio, screaming and swaying when engulfed their prized assets magic.
