In an interview with Billboard, Alkaline Trio's Matt Skiba talked a bit about what the long-running band is planning for their forthcoming, self-released full length:

We kind of want to make a punk rock record. That's how we started as a band, and over the years I think we evolved into kind of more of a rock band with punk roots. So we have a bunch of new songs, and we've been kind of picking a couple of new songs each night. But we're using our soundcheck as kind of our pre-production for the record.



We've been writing when we had downtime but now that we're out, the three of us have been vibing off each other and inspired to write. So we're just cranking out new songs. We'll pick out the 10 best and go record them lickety-split in July and release it thereafter.


Skiba also explained why the band left Epic, despite having a record left in their contract:

Everyone who signed us to Epic, all of the people we trusted there, were let go. nd that's not to say the people running it now aren't cool, we just don't know them and we don't like to work generally with people we don't know. We had a bunch of material and wanted to do a record sooner than later, so we called them and asked them if we could leave and they said, 'Yeah, that's cool.' They've always been great to us and we appreciate that.


The band released Agony & Irony in 2008.
