It’s been 13 years since Alkaline Trio released their first
full-length album, Goddamnit. In that time, they’ve toured
the world, sold over a million records, and expanded their
sound radically beyond their original straight-ahead punk
style, incorporating production slick enough to earn them
mass exposure on outlets like MTV’s The Hills. Now comes
an amazing retrospective of those 13 years, Damnesia, as
ALK3 takes to the studio to record acoustic versions of 13
fan favorites and 2 new songs. These are not throwaway
versions, but powerful reimagining’s that drive as hard as
the originals while bringing out the melodic greatness of
these classics – a radio hit like “This Could Be Love” now
features moody piano, a Matt Skiba vocal take to die for,
and will connect immediately with every fan who ever
loved the song. With the band on their Damnesia tour all
summer promoting the new versions, Damnesia will quickly
become a fan must-have release.
