The iconic Heart Skull logo of Alkaline Trio has come to symbolize more than the viscerally creative band and their deeply connective albums. Like the skeleton-with-a-martini associated with Social Distortion or the cross-bars intrinsically linked to Black Flag, the emblem is a badge of subculture, a commitment to a lifestyle equal parts passion and dedication. With 2010’s intimately reimagined Damnesia, the Illinois outfit once again expanded their creative range, preserving the most electric elements of their collaborative songwriting abilities while furthering their energized promise with new twists and diverse facets.
