Alkaline Trio is prepping for a tour with Dropkick Murphys in Australia, and the long-running punk band also released Blood, Hair, and Eyeballs earlier this year. Now the band is back, sharing two previously unreleased songs as a double a-side digital single: "The Sacrifice" a/w "At Sickness". It will also be sold as a limited 7" via alkalinetrio.com and RiseRecords.com, beginning Oct. 18.
Matt Skiba says:
We are very excited to be releasing these two songs as a seven inch. Putting out an EP on 7” vinyl is something we haven’t had the opportunity to do for a long time, so having two new songs to offer up on such a classic format is fun for us as vinyl enthusiasts. Both 'At Sickness' and 'The Sacrifice' were initially written and recorded for our Blood, Hair, and Eyeballs album and leaving them off the record wasn’t an easy decision. It was done merely in the interest of the full-length’s running time, which we wanted to keep under 40 minutes. We’re psyched that these two numbers are being released and will be available on their own special format, no less.
