Alkaline Trio - I Wanna Be A WarholAlkaline Trio – I Wanna Be A Warhol

Back towards the end of 2012 after various different side projects Alkaline Trio announced that they had regrouped to start work on their ninth studio album and since then their fans have been left wondering when they can expect new material and today Alkaline Trio have broke that silence and announced that their ninth studio album is to be called ‘My Shame Is True’ and it is due for release on the 1st April and will once again be released on Heart And Skull Records via Epitaph Records, along with the album announcement Alkaline Trio announced that the lead single from the album is to be ‘I Wanna Be A Warhol’ and they instantly released an lyric video on You Tube.

When it comes to new Alkaline Trio music you pretty much know what you are going to get before you press play, the only thing that really changes from time to time is who takes control of lead vocals out of Matt Skiba and Dan Andriano and ‘I Wanna Be A Warhol’ sticks to this formula with Matt Skiba taking on the lead vocals, the song is really fast and melodic sounding and is instantly going to be a fan favourite.

Many people criticise Alkaline Trio for never upping their game and always sticking to the same style, but why after 8 studio albums would Alkaline Trio want to go down a different route when after all they have one of the most dedicated fan bases out there who have stuck with them through the years and will continue to do so for as long as the band continues, roll on April the 1st when ‘My Shame Is True’ is released.
