No Use For A Name recently returned from a tour around Asia and all they brought us was this lousy tour video.  OK, it’s not that lousy.  It’s actually kinda entertaining.  The band decided to film the reaction of drummer, Rory Koff, to everything he ate while on the tour.  Check out the montage of Rory’s culinary reactions here.

No Use For A Name released their last album, The Feel Good Record Of The Year in April of 2008 on Fat Wreck Chords.

Yesterday it was announced that Alkaline Trio will be releasing their newest album early next year on their own, newly formed label.  The label is a joint venture with Epitaph Records and is called Heart & Skull, named after the band’s longstanding logo.

Alkaline Trio singer/guitarist Matt Skiba commented:

We made the decision to form Heart & Skull to put out our own records after having been through every kind of label deal in the industry, big indies, small indies, majors. We knew it was time to adapt to the shifting tides of the music industry and we could not be more thrilled about doing that in conjunction with the team at Epitaph. Taking control of our own label situation was something we always wanted to do but never thought was possible, but now thanks to Brett Gurewitz and the fine folks at Epitaph, it is. All three of us in Alkaline Trio have always had the utmost respect for the music and the work ethic of the Epitaph, Anti- and Hellcat family and now we’re honored to be working together under one big happy roof. Heart & Skull/Epitaph is truly a dream come true for us.

Alkaline Trio bassist/vocalist Dan Andriano added:

For our band at this time it really makes sense to release our own records, but we wanted to make sure we could partner up with good people who we would want to share in something very special to us. When Brett called and said he wanted to be involved, that was it. Epitaph is a label I’ve admired and supported for more than half of my life! I couldn’t be more excited for how this is turning out!

Alkaline Trio first emerged from Chicago in 1996 and has since released the full length studio albums Goddamnit, Maybe I’ll Catch Fire, From Here To Infirmary, Good Mourning, Crimson and last year’s Agony & Irony, which was the highest charting record of the band’s career to date. The band is comprised of Skiba, Andriano and drummer Derek Grant, all of whom are partners in Heart & Skull.

This Time Next Year posted a fun tour video from Manatour. Watch the video here to see the band goofing off and rocking out.
