Alkaline Trio -

A fast, grungey punk rock group from America formed in 1997. Their trademark style takes the melodic charm of the best pop punk music and marries it to intelligent and unflinching lyrics. A strange formula but one that seems to work and has won them a loyal following. With two significant releases behind them - 'Good Mourning' (2003), and 'Crimson' (2005) - there's every reason to look forwards to the trio's future.
