It’s been 12 years since the Alkaline Trio unleashed their simply titled, memorable debut album, Goddamnit, to the light of day. Six albums later, the Trio are still mutilating sonic and lyrical boundaries with their songs about love and life, all veiled in a shroud of darkness and irony. From tales of revenge by radio to methadone as a metaphor, the band continues to be at the creative forefront, writing incredibly catchy songs, but with enough lyrical depth to reach the distant gates of Hell. Sarcastic, fearless and honest can describe the typical Alkaline Trio song and it could also describe co-singer and guitarist Matt Skiba, who sat down with Gen Handley from Punknews to chat about meditation, muses and about the new album, This Addiction, which comes out on February 23.

Buffalo, NY’s Failures’ Union have announced plans to press their first full length, Sinker, on vinyl. The band explains,

We always wanted to put it out as an LP as well, but since we were never a full-time band and lacked the funding, the timing never seemed right….Over the past year things have changed, and the band has become a priority for the members. Paper & Plastick released our new album “In What Way.” We also have been touring a lot more, and are even going to be heading to the United Kingdom for two weeks in the spring to play. Now we want to put “Sinker” out on vinyl more than ever, but we need your help.

To help fund the project the band has launched a Kickstarter page where fans can donate to help reach the $2,000 goal. Donations can be made in any amount and as a, “thank you” the band is offering up rewards from the normal (such as a digital copy of the album or a copy of the vinyl LP), to the extravagant ( such as having singer Tony Flaminio will write a song for you or having the entire band playing in your living room). More information can be found on the Kickstarter page, which will be running until the end of Sunday, February 21 and is located here.
