You have to love a band who Wikipedia says plays music "characterized by dark lyrics, catchy choruses, fast tempos and recurring subjects of love, alcoholism, depression, fire, drugs, blasphemy, and death."

Alkaline Trio signed to Epic Records last year (after the demise of V2 Records) and are releasing their Epic debut "Agony & Irony" on July 1st. The band has just release the first track from this upcoming release "Help Me". (Click on the art for the single to stream the track).

The band is playing European festivals this summer and a US tour will follow.
