Alkaltine Trio just dropped a new 3-song digital single called E.P., to be followed by a physical 7" (2-songs) on May 1.

Speaking of the EP's timing, Matt Skiba states, “With the U.S tour with Bad Religion postponed and the current state of the world, we feel and hope that some new music will help people transcend the uncertainty and possible fear they might be feeling, if even for a few minutes...Music has always had a way of helping us all cope with unpleasant times. We can only hope that ours can do the same for our fans on some level. We hope you enjoy the songs.”

E.P. TRACK LISTING

1. Minds Like Minefields
2. Radio Violence
3. Smokestack (not included on 7")

Now here we are, Matt, with your first major … Read more

Vagrant (2007)

I haven't met anyone in my life that is affiliated with hardcore or punk that doesn't like at least a handful of Alkaline Trio songs.
