Crimson

Dark, Moody, and Midwest

A timeless Midwest punk band, Alkaline Trio has been making music for as long as I’ve been alive. Crimson is an album of its time- straddled between 90s punk/garage and the up-and-coming emo scene- but still holds up today. Powerful and dark, it remained palatable enough to make a splash in the mainstream rock scene. If you enjoy groups like Blink-182, Against Me!, and Screeching Weasel, add this one to your roster.
