From Here to Infirmary

AMAZON
Punk with a satisfyingly vicious snarl, From Here To Infirmary is the sound of Blink 182's truant-playing next-door neighbours breaking into dad's drinks cabinet and drinking it dry. Chicago's Alkaline Trio are three boozers, abusers and all-round losers that crank out the sort of perfectly deformed, hair-tearingly angstful pop-punk tunes that made Green Day's Dookie such a mainstream punk landmark. That time-honoured comedy punk album title (see also: NOFX's Punk In Drublic, Blink 182's Enema Of The State and countless others) is shot through with a certain black humour, because these are all songs about hitting the gutter, and hitting it hard. The opening "Private Eye" remembers a New Year's Eve spent alone with the bottle, frontman Matt Skiba singing, "There's no reason to call, I passed out on the floor / Smoked myself stupid and drunk my insides dry", while the fraught, anthemic emo-pop of "Take Lots With Alcohol" reads like a monologue sobbed straight from the psychiatrist's chair. --Louis Pattison
