Alkaline Trio, Cursive, and The Dear And Departed at Gothic Theatre
Love or hate them, Chicago-bred punk-rockers Alkaline Trio keep on trucking. This Addiction, the trio's brand-new seventh studio album (and first on its own label, Heart & Skull) is not the return to Goddamnit that fans of the early Alkaline Trio crave, but it's not going to scare off the remaining loyal Alka-heads, either. Matt Skiba and company continue on down the path of up-tempo punk, penning songs about death and drugs that remain curiously catchy. ("Dine, Dine My Darling" is about death and drugs and samples the main theme of "Ode To Joy.") Polished and perky, This Addiction throws no curve balls (aside from a cheesy, uncharacteristic synth on "Eating Me Alive"), ensuring that AK3's shows will be packed with the same characters for another tour.
