Alkaline Trio return with new album, Blood, Hair, And Eyeballs

Alkaline Trio are back! Watch the video for their new single Blood, Hair, And Eyeballs, which is the title-track from their 10th album.

Alkaline Trio are set to return in 2024 with their 10th album, Blood, Hair And Eyeballs.

The trio – Matt Skiba, Dan Andriano and recently-announced new drummer Atom Willard – will release the long-awaited follow-up to 2018’s Is This Thing Cursed? on January 26, 2024 via Rise Records, before hitting the road in North America for a tour. To coincide with the news, Alkaline Trio have also unveiled the title-track along with a Ravi Dhar-directed video – check that out below.

“My mom worked for years as an emergency room nurse,” explains Matt of the album and song name. “She and her co-workers referred to exceptionally busy nights as ‘blood, hair, and eyeballs’. Well, we’ve been busy making an exceptional record we refer to as Blood, Hair, And Eyeballs, too.

“We approached this new record in completely new ways. We built the songs together, from the ground up, in the same room which hasn’t happened since the band started. Usually, we start with an idea somebody’s already written. This time, we had the unique opportunity to build the songs onto drums recorded at Studio 606 onto two-inch tape using one of the most beautiful-sounding and legendary consoles in rock. It has almost everything to do with how our new record sounds.”
