Chicago punk legends Alkaline Trio released their most recent studio album, This Addiction, earlier this year, but Matt Skiba is already chomping at the bit to issue his first solo material since the split EP he did with Kevin Seconds in 2003. Of course, that album included the crowd favorite "Good Fucking Bye" so if Skiba can come up with anything half as great as that track, this album will be well worth the price of admission.
The album is called, quite simply, Demos, and contains a baker's dozen tunes Skiba recorded on his laptop in L.A. and Chicago during the year that was 2009. Word has it that a new Heavens disc is currently in the works.
