Alkaline Trio Brings Back “Weak Week”

Sun, 23 Dec 2007 18:04:57 +0000

Fans of Alkaline Trio have long awaited a re-release of their groundbreaking album Goddamnit, originally released in 1998.

The album will be reissued by Asian Man Records (totally remixed and remastered) and also include Alkaline Trio’s first demo ever recorded. I’m salivating at the thought.

Additionally, the album will come with a brand new DVD entitled “Original Sin: The Story of Goddamnit.” You can also expect to see a live performance from the band on this new DVD.

Anyway, check out the remastered song “Weak Week” on Myspace, and rock on. Seriously, this reissue promises to be pretty kickass. What are you waiting for?
