Alkaline Trio's New Album And More Good Music

For those in need of new rockin music, now is the time to get some. On Tuesday, one of personal favorite bands, Alkaline Trio, put out their second album with Vagrant Records. Crimson is kick ass, packed with punching songs. They've gone on Fuse and Conan O'Brien to promote the album already. They also did an autograph signing in Fords, NJ, and my good friend brought me a signed copy. It has some odd songs but they all sound amazing. The track "Sadie" is about the Charles Manson ordeal filled with good harmonizing vocals and strings. It was about time something new came out from someone because I was going crazy.

Also, for more music to get you through the day, check out the song "Get Well Soon" by Reggie And The Full Effect. The video was pretty damn funny about the Loch Ness Monster going through a tough divorce and turning to alcohol. The Foo Fighters new album doesn't come out until June, leaving me to remain at the edge of my seat.

This summer is going to be an awesome one for concerts. The Warped Tour is great, Ozzfest is mindboggling, Alkaline Trio's jamming, and the F.F. should be starting their tour in the summer. I am about to explode just thinking about the greatness.

i love everything my idol Dave Grohl does. the QOTSA stuff kicked ass. i dont know if you realized it, but Dave can't play double bass on the drums from some sort of impediment, so what he did was tune a floor tom so low that it sounded like a bass and he perfected his style of doing it. Grohl's work with his side project Probot was pretty cool with the bassist/singer from Motorhead, although i only heard one of their songs.

punk died with Green Day. The Ramones started it but Green Day perfected the 3 power chord songs. and new punk is not really punk, just bad.

Drummaster there was plenty of Punk
that was the contenporary of the Ramones. Those bands played at cbgb's in the Bowery.

Telling a Punk you're retro is not a great idea.
