Alkaline Trio have uploaded their entire new album “This Addiction” for fans to stream from their Myspace page before the album drops. The band consisting of Matt Skiba, Derek Grant, and Dan Andriano have become known for their dark meaningful lyrics with solid beats to back them. From what we have heard so far, this album is sure to be a great follow up to their last album “Agony & Irony.”

The album hits the stores on February 23, but you can pre-order the album now from Kings Road Merch.

Below is the music video for “This Addiction.”

Alkaline Trio have released their new music video for “This Addiction” off their album “This Addiction” in stores February 23. The video shows a very emo looking Matt Skiba and shows kids playing out a metaphorical skit of what the song has to say. The lyrics, “this addiction, cant seem to live without you / this addiction, now going clean / this addiction, i go through withdrawal without your… /sick with this addiction in me,” pretty much sum up what the song is about as the kids show the duality within a person. While the video isn’t the most creative thing we’ve seen, it is simple, and the feather visual effects are entertaining for a short stint.
