This Alternative-Rock Punk-Pop Chicago, Illinois USA, three-piece outfit
first formed in 1996 by singer+guitarist Matt Skiba, bassist Rob Doran
and drummer Glenn Porter; they began scaring up gigs in local clubs whenever
they could and also recorded some demo-tapes.
The next year, after releasing their debut EP "For Your Lungs",
Daniel Andriano replaced Doran.
Alkaline Trio's debut full-length "Goddamnit" was issued in
October 1998 on the small indie label Asian Man Records.
Released in March of 2000, "Maybe I'll Catch Fire", followed
in the footsteps of its predecessor; just a month later the band put out
a self-titled CD which collected out-of-print 7" singles plus four
one-off compilation appearances.
Porter had left the band in early 2000, his replacement was drummer Mike
Felumlee who joined in time for their third album of all-new-material,
"From Here To Infirmary"; the record arrived in the spring of
2001 on indie giant label Vagrant, it cracked the top 10 of The Billboard
Independent Albums chart.
Shortly afterwards Felumlee departed to be replaced by Derek Grant; a
year later the prolific Alkaline Trio released a split-CD.
But their big break came in May 2003 with the release of "Good Mourning",
this album became the band's most commercially successful reaching #20
on The Billboard Top 200 chart, it included the Modern Rock top 40 hit
"We've Had Enough".
Alkaline Trio spent all of December and January locked in the studio
to record their 2005 album, "Crimson", which includes the single
"Time To Waste".
