Alkaline Trio Announce Album Details; Plus Video of New Song

Posted by pixie | Filed under Uncategorized

Alkaline Trio has announced the details of their upcoming album, which will be called Agony and Irony.  After all their studio videos showing them putting the album together, it’s pretty much wrapped up and the band has chosen ten songs to make the final cut.  I wonder why it’s so short… but I’m really looking forward to hearing it.

The tracklisting is as follows:

01) Calling All Skeletons
02) Help Me
03) In Vein
04) Over And Out
05) I Found Away
06) Live Young, Die Fast
07) Four Four Four Four
08) Lost And Rendered
09) Ruin It
10) Into The Night

The first single off the album is “Help Me,” and here’s a video of the band playing it live.  It’s tough to judge because the sound quality isn’t 100%… but it sounds really different.  I’m sure I’ll end up liking it, because Alkaline Trio has never disappointed, but I’m pretty surprised to hear this song. I’m not even sure what it is that seems so different.  Maybe it’s just a grower.
