Alkaline Trio Form New Label; Heart & Skull

Formed in partnership with Epitaph Records, Alkaline Trio have conceived of a new record label called Heart & Skull.  The band will release their seventh album through their own label in early 2010.

The name of the label, Heart & Skull, comes from Alkaline Trio’s longstanding logo and singer/guitarist, Matt Skiba states, “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 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.”
