I agree and disagree at the same time. Porter was an amazing asset to the band, but Derek has taken them a lot further. However, their music does lack these days, but I gotta say Good Mourning may have been their next best album after Goddamnit.

It’s also nice to hear that Matt Skiba is more open-minded about religion than some think. He doesnt agree, but he respects other peoples’ beliefs. I think that’s a way of life right there

This is amazing. I’m so glad you posted this. The old Alkaline Trio still stands as one of my favorite bands. “Goddamnit” is one of my top 10 favorite albums ever.

This was such a fun interview…cramped in that tiny bathroom with all of us in there…but so fun. Remember, Glenn was in the bathtub and Danny was going through the stuff under the sink? Good times. Miss those guys.

Totally with you on Glenn Porter being the key to their sound. He was like a punk rock Keith Moon.

MTC: I�m straight edge� between drinks. – I laughed out loud at that.

That was a good read, thanks for sharing. I have a love/hate relationship with this band too.

Amazing! Matt really called when he said Britney was gonna learn a lesson! Also interesting to hear them discuss Christianity when I heard them back in 05 say that they had become total Satanists and that’s all their music was about. Nice interview, I never knew you ran a zine.
