Das ALKALINE TRIO meldet sich mit seinem neunten Album zureuck: "Is This Thing Cursed?" erscheint am 31. August digital und am 19. Oktober in physischer Form via Epitaph. Anbei stellt die Punkrockband aus Chicago um Neu-BLINK 182ler Matt Skiba mit "Blackbird" einen ersten Song der Platte vor.
Basser und Saenger Dan Andriano erklaert den Vergleich des Albums zu "Maybe I'll Catch Fire":
“the songwriting process is almost like what it was back in the day. We would just kind of write a song, be excited about it, then move on. We wrote in that spirit in the studio. I really feel like we made a record that the old school fans are going to dig.”
