Alkaline Trio have premiered a new video for their new song “Bad Time.” This track is from the band’s new album “Blood, Hair, And Eyeballs,” which will be released on January 26. Guitarist/vocalist Matt Skiba commented:
“‘Bad Time’ was initially inspired by a friend and crush who happened to call me while I was on tour in El Paso as an active shooter situation was happening just across from where we were staying. We could hear gunshots and sirens as the situation escalated. My friend asked if it was a bad time to talk, and I said no — I really wanted to speak with her. It was actually a terrible and terrifying time, but it was never a bad time to hear her voice. The second verse goes back to a time in Chicago when my roommate Bobby and I were almost killed in the crossfire of a drive-by shooting — high as kites on mushrooms. We lived in a neighborhood run by Latin Kings at the time of the shooting, so I reference those facts as well as how nice it would have been to hear from the same girl back then.”
