Alkaline Trio Announce New Album ‘Is This Thing Cursed?’

Alkaline Trio have announced the release of their new album ‘Is This Thing Cursed?’, their first album in five years. The album will be the band’s ninth studio album and will be available on 19th October. They’ve also shared lead single ‘Blackbird’, which you can listen to below.

The first Alkaline Trio album to be written almost entirely in the studio, co-lead vocalist and bassist Dan Andriano explains: “the songwriting process is almost like what it was back in the day. We would just kind of write a song, be excited about it, then move on. We wrote in that spirit in the studio. I really feel like we made a record that the old school fans are going to dig.”
