i like that a lot...any certain reason they're w/ epitaph? i'd think they'd be on vagrant or asian man

Sweet, I didnt know about that.

It probably has something to do with Joe Seinbrick that they are on Epitaph. No idea who he is though.

listning to goddammit now, loving it.

why is it that this band consign their best songs to compilations and b-sides. best examples being "warbrain" and "jaked on green beers"!?!?!

cause theyre ****ing awesome like that. they're allowed to.

Aaah Jaked on Green Beers... the Ultimate Anti-Love Song.

I've been neglecting the Trio recently...

I don't listen to much Alk Trio.

Any recomendations?

Personaly, i think From Here To Infermy is there best, so i would recomend that, i also think Good Mourning would be a good start.

Crimson is a great album too. More refined than the others. The first whole album that I listened to by them actually.

Cool, i'll check it out. :thumb:

get goddamnit. great album. or s/t...or all maybe?

Nah guys, Maybe I'll Catch Fire has to be their best cd.
Well, the UK version is, because it is the 10 tracks, and then has Goodbye Forever, Snake Oil Tanker, I Lied My Face Off and This Is Getting Over You as bonus tracks.

All of their albums are amazing though, so any would be a good choice.

are the UK MICF versions of Goodbye Forever, Snake Oil Tanker, I Lied My Face Off, and This Is Getting Over You the same as on s/t or are they re-recorded?

If I remember correctly, They're the same versions.

I quite like their eponymous album, but to start off maybe try Good Mourning or From Here to Infirmary. Both awesome albums. :)

Good Mourning is my favourite. F'uck the haters.

[QUOTE=Radish_Boy_1]If I remember correctly, They're the same versions.[/QUOTE]

They most certainly are. Blood Pact info has told me that they're planning on a re-release of Goddammit!

I swear I knew that already, and I'm not really into Alk3 anything like as much as you are. Perhaps you told me.

When did you find this out?

Are they planning to re-record it or just release it and be lame?

hey oz, has there been anymore word of a DVD release?

Nothing as of yet, they still have some Occult Root's tour dates in Canada yet. They'll probably work on it after a break.

cool.

very..

I wish they'd hurry their arses up and sort out a UK tour... I'm getting impatient.

They had one in November last year. Still, here's hoping, eh?

Yeah but I need to see them agaaaain! And they've just dont a US tour... it's our turn now!


Grrr.

Plus this time I can afford to go more than once.

awesome interview! thank ya.

"Crimson" is easily their best album. I wrote a short review of it too.

[quote=My review of "Crimson"]Pop punk used to be a love/hate relationship for me. I once despised the genre, but then became almost enthralled by it. I’ve come out of both phases to become a much more matured music critic of the genre. I’m indifferent to a lot of what it has to offer, but there are still a few bands that hook me line and sinker. Alkaline Trio is at the forefront of those bands with their latest release being an absolute standout record. Pop punk is known for being simple, but this band takes that simplicity and downgrades a few notches. Someone who had been playing guitar for only a week could be easily play a lot of the bands catalogue. So why am I so charmed by the tracks on “Crimson”? It may be hard to believe, but there are several reasons that manage to surface. For one, while the guitar riffs are some of the simplest ever, they do not get old. Another thing is the bass playing. Daniel Andriano supports most songs with an interesting bass line that is usually high in the mix of the songs. Then there is the fact that even though frontman Matt Skiba isn’t one of the best singers and can’t add variety to the songs he still manages to be irresistibly catchy. Bassist Daniel contributes his brassier voice quite a bit to some songs. “Mercy Me” is a prominent song on “Crimson” because Daniel and Matt commit a dual vocal attack for the whole song. With a higher and lower vocal attack together it makes for one of the most memorable tracks. “Crimson” is an incredible album that never lacks. Sadly, it just may be both the most overlooked and underrated album of 2005.[/quote]

It's not really their best...but they have gotten better, musically.

Nice blurb, Ian. That was a blurb, right?
