“Surprise Surprise” Alkaline Trio’s New Single
Alkaline Trio have delivered the Halloween/horror themed single “Surprise Surprise,” the band’s third standalone single produced by Travis Barker of Blink 182.
“‘Surprise Surprise’ was inspired by and written for a friend of mine who grew up poor and entrenched in gang life only to become a Navy SEAL and eventually an astronaut,” noted Alkaline Trio guitarist/vocalist Matt Skiba. “It’s his story combined with my own thoughts regarding how a sort of alchemy takes place when someone takes the experiences of a bad situation and is able to turn them into something profound and beautiful.”

The song is available across digital platforms and will also be released as a limited edition D2C color vinyl seven-inch.
“Surprise Surprise,” follows “Bleeding Out” and “Oblivion.” These songs were the first studio sessions to feature the current Alkaline Trio lineup of Skiba, bassist/vocalist Dan Andriano and drummer Atom Willard.
