Alkaline Trio
FameRank: 6

"Alkaline Trio" is an American punk rock band from McHenry, Illinois, formed in 1996. The band consists of Matt Skiba, Dan Andriano (vocals, bass), and Derek Grant (drummer)/Derek Grant (drums).

Founded in late 1996, by Matt Skiba, bassist Rob Doran and drummer Glenn Porter, Alkaline Trio released its debut single, "Sundials (song)/Sundials", in 1997. Following its release, Doran departed from the band and was replaced by Dan Andriano. The band subsequently recorded an EP, For Your Lungs Only (1998), and its debut studio album, Goddamnit (1998). Following the release of the band's second album, Maybe I'll Catch Fire (2000), Glenn Porter left the band and was replaced by Mike Felumlee for its subsequent album, From Here to Infirmary (2001).

Backed by the singles "Stupid Kid" and "Private Eye (song)/Private Eye", From Here to Infirmary significantly increased the band's exposure, and its follow-up, Good Mourning (2003), charted highly on the Billboard 200/Billboard 200. Good Mourning marked the recording debut of current drummer Derek Grant (drummer)/Derek Grant. In 2005, the band released Crimson (Alkaline Trio album)/Crimson which expanded upon the band's punk rock influences, with prominent overdubs and additional instrumentation, and continued with this direction on Agony & Irony (2008), which was released on V2 Records.
