Alkaline Trio still knows how to keep things lively, which has been part of the band’s DNA from day 1 by being able to apply darker tones and themes to upbeat pop-punk and emo. While touring off the success and critical acclaim of their latest release, the trio’s first headlining tour in five years saw a renewed energy from the band’s latest incarnation of Matt Skiba, Dan Andriano, and Atom Willard.
