No band deserves to be on the cover of Rock Sound more than Alkaline Trio. Since their inception in Chicago in 1996, Matt Skiba and co have been responsible for some of the finest punk records to date. In this day and age it’s great to see a band with integrity (and decent tunes) going the distance. On the eve of the release of their fantastic new album ‘Agony & Irony’, it gives me great pleasure to elevate them to cover star status.
