Drug Church<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Albany, New York\u2019s post hardcore outfit Drug Church opened the show along with the punk band Worriers. Drug Church put on a high energy set that had the pit moving, they have a great mix of punk\/alternative\/post-hardcore sound. The Worriers are a fun band led by Lauren Denitzio, with Atom Willard doing double duty, drumming. I got there in time to see the last song but they are also a fun band not to miss when they come through your city.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alkaline Trio<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For me, Alkaline Trio have been a band that\u2019s simply always been there for me. Led by Matt Skiba on vocals\/guitar being the only founding member of the band with bass\/vocalist Dan Andriano, the 2nd longest tenured member, and Atom Willard, who is a new permanent member as of 2023. Their debut album\u00a0Goddamnit\u00a0<\/em>was released in 1998, with a follow up in 2000\u00a0Maybe I\u2019ll Catch Fire<\/em>. They have released 7 albums steadily since 2001, and have been a solid punk rock band for 25 years. I recall seeing them for the first time 24 years ago at a skate fest at the Worcester Palladium. I never went out of my way to see them perform, up until the last time I saw them, 2 years ago, when they had a support slot on Coheed and Cambria\u2019s tour in Boston, but when I did I always enjoyed what I saw. This time, I was all in for Alkaline Trio.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few weeks ago they released their 10th studio album\u00a0Blood, Hair, and Eyeballs,\u00a0<\/em>on Rise Records and they stopped in Boston\u2019s House of Blues in support of the newest effort. It was also the final album for their longtime drummer Derek Grant. They opened the night with \u201cHot For Preacher,\u201d the first track on the new album and it set the tone for a great night of punk rock. Alkaline Trio may be older but they haven\u2019t slowed down very much. For three members they have a pretty big sound that filled the nearly sold out venue. For being a Sunday night I was pleasantly surprised how filled it was.\u00a0
They played a career spanning set of 20 songs. Highlights included, \u201cMr. Chainsaw,\u201d \u201cCalling All Skeletons,” “Mercy Me\u201d and \u201cPrivate Eye,\u201d the last being my personal favorite. They played the most songs from their 2003 album\u00a0From Here to Infirmary<\/em>\u00a0which has many hits. The new songs sounded great and were high energy. I recommend catching this show whether you’re a long time fan of Alkaline Trio, or just enjoy the emo\/punk rock sounds of the late 90s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
