Alkaline Trio have released a new single, Bleeding Out.
Following earlier track Oblivion, the vulnerable yet punk-charged earworm rides a driving rhythm that builds to a catchy chorus.
It's the second of three songs the Chicago band recently recorded with Blink-182 drummer and producer Travis Barker. The sessions were their first to feature the current line-up of guitarist-vocalist Matt Skiba, long-time bassist-vocalist Dan Andriano and drummer Atom Willard, who replaced Derek Grant after his 22-year tenure ended in 2023. Skiba commented:
"The release of the new songs we did with Travis Barker and Adam Hawkins mirrors the recording process. We’re releasing them in the order in which we recorded them, which I feel mirrors the excitement and energy felt in the studio when we were writing and recording them. Bleeding Out has an energy and a spontaneity that reflects the vibe in the studio as accurately as anything could. I’m really excited to share this song with our fellow earthlings. You can sing and dance along to it, and sadly, it’s a song of our time."
Andriano added: "Really proud to announce our next offering in this three-single series, Bleeding Out. Matt’s demo really did a lot of the heavy lifting as we could all tell right away what kind of song it was going to be and we just started to groove. Travis instantly had great ideas about the instrumentation and harmonies, the candy - if you will. And I think the organic way it came together is really apparent in the fun and dancey flow of the song."
Willard said: "Bleeding Out is easily one of the funnest songs to play that I’ve ever recorded… I get to do all kinds of great stuff throughout, and I’m honestly just so proud of how it came out. Matt and Travis both had some killer ideas that made their way into post-choruses and outro. Super fun to make, super fun to play."
