Alkaline Trio men go solo

Alkaline Trio vocalist/bassist Dan Andriano has started a new solo-project called Emergency Room.

Andriano will debut his new tunes out on the road in the US next month for a series of dates including shows with former labelmates The Get Up Kids

"I've been working on a lot of new songs and I'm pretty excited to get out and play them," he says. "And yes, I'll probably be playing a couple Alkaline Trio songs. Maybe someday this will become a band, I do not know. What I do know is that for these shows, I will be all alone."

In related news, Alkaline Trio vocalist/guitarist Matt Skiba will release a solo album of his own early next year.
