"I don’t personally feel that I’ve lost my fire. There is a difference between the young, angry, super-drunk, fuck-everything, who-cares kid that had no responsibilities, versus…well, I’m still not that far off from that, fortunately, and I don’t want to be anything but that. But I’m more of a man about the things I need to be a man about — relationships, my family, I have children in my life now, none of which are mine, thankfully. But I have friends over and they’re just like, ‘You’re a fucking maniac,’ and I love that. Hopefully the new record captures some of that still."
— Alkaline Trio’s Matt Skiba. I’ve ranted about the band losing their fire before, so I spoke to Skiba and Andriano about it, fairly directly, for Billboard. Two of the most honest interviews I’ve been a part of—even if you’re not a fan, there’s real insight into aging artists playing typically youth-oriented music. (And if you are a fan—the new album sounds creatively engaged again!! “She Lied to the FBI” is really awesome!)

Interview with Matt @ killyourstereo.com

This record, we’ve definitely cloaked a lot of ourselves in metaphor and there are definitely metaphors through and throughout the record. This record for me was written in somewhat of a vacuum. It was this apology love note to my ex-girlfriend who I’m still very close with. I think the emotions presented on this album…I think it’s very human. I think everyone, whether they know what these songs are about or not, I hope people can apply these songs to their own lives and really feel that someone is singing their feelings for them. I mean that is always the goal, but I feel with this record we’ve come back to closely accomplishing that.
