Alkaline Trio Addiction Coming Next Month

The album�s title track and first single wastes no time in setting the tone of the album as it rips and roars with Matt Skiba�s exceptional vocals and signature guitar riffs, bassist and co/vocalist Dan Andriano�s thumping low-end and drummer Derek Grant�s steadfast beats. From soon-to-be fan-favorites like the Andriano led rocker �Dine, Dine My Darling� and politically charged anthem �The American Scream� to the sonically mesmerizing rhythm and lyrics of �Dorothy� and the thrilling sing-along �Draculina,� This Addiction showcases Skiba, Andriano and Grant�s abounding gift for songwriting and crafting passionate punk fueled rock that will make fans fall in love with them all over again.

"I think that we wanted to make a punk rock record that we've been describing as 'thinking-man's punk,'" said Skiba. "We wanted to do something that's fun but also interesting and lyrically, something that will be fun for people to read along to and hopefully understand."

The band�s seventh studio album, This Addiction, will be available as a standard CD, a limited Deluxe CD/DVD edition (containing two bonus songs, four acoustic tracks and a full length concert DVD), as well as Gatefold LP vinyl. Epitaph will also have exclusive items signed by the band, rare vinyl and Limited Collector�s bundles - all with a standard digital download or a Deluxe Digital Download.
