Since the mid-'90s, punk trio Alkaline Trio have delivered urgent punk blasts with a dark, driving edge that helped them remain commercially viable without sacrificing their raucous spirit. Slowly ascending through the Warped Tour ranks into the early 2000s, they reached the Billboard Top 20 with 2003's mainstream breakthrough Good Mourning. They hit a peak with their seventh set This Addiction, which topped the rock, alternative, and indie charts in 2010. Later that decade, after frontman Matt Skiba took a break to join blink-182, Alkaline Trio issued their ninth LP, 2018's Is This Thing Cursed?, with Blood, Hair, and Eyeballs appearing in 2024.
