Become a Fan
Formed by ex-
Jerkwater
and
Traitors
drummer
Matt Skiba
(vocals/guitar),
Glenn Porter
(drums/vocals) -- formerly of
88 Fingers Louie
-- and
Rob Doran
(bass/vocals),
Alkaline Trio
was brought together in 1997 by heartbreak, angst, and the companionship of drinking. They issued the
For Your Lungs Only
EP just prior to
Doran
's departure in late 1997, later releasing
Sundials
the following year on Johann's Face Records.
Slapstick
's
Dan Andriano
entered on bass, adding a complementary voice and songwriting style to
Skiba
's that
would become the group's signature dynamic. The three then started making a name for themselves all throughout the Midwest with their emotion-fueled, angst-ridden, dark pop-punk. With this lineup in full force, all while
Skiba
and
Porter
were working as bike messengers full-time, their first full-length,
Goddamnit!
, was released on Asian Man in 1998 to the praise of a following who related to their heartbreak tales and anti-cop rants.
Both
Maybe I'll Catch Fire
and a self-titled singles collection followed in early 1999. The new millennium also included a series of changes:
Glenn Porter
exited in early 2000 and ex-
Smoking Popes
drummer
Mike Felumlee
made
Alkaline Trio
a three-piece again.
From Here to Infirmary
followed on Vagrant in spring 2001 and was met with only lukewarm fan response. But a split EP released by Jade Tree the next year found
the Trio
in top form again alongside
Hot Water Music
, both bands contributing original tracks and covers of each other's songs.
Good Mourning
was released two years later, and the lineup by now included new drummer
Derek Grant
(ex-
Suicide Machines
,
Thoughts of Ionesco
).
Good Mourning
did well, grazing the Billboard charts and scoring
Alkaline Trio
spots on late-night TV and summer tours.
Crimson
followed in 2005 and continued the band's streak. Touring persisted over the summer, both as a headliner and in support of
My Chemical Romance
. A spring 2006 run (with openers
Against Me!
) delighted devout fans from early on with a set that mostly contained tunes from initial releases, including an entire run-through of the fan-favorite
Goddamnit!
By fall,
Alkaline Trio
had found a new home at V2 Records and began work on their next album, although label restructuring problems in January 2007 led to the band being let go before anything was released. That same month Vagrant issued the CD/DVD
Remains
, which rounded up B-sides and rarities, and in May it was annouced that
the Trio
had found a new home on Epic. ~ Mike DaRonco, All Music Guide
