Alkaline Trio - Hell Yes

Steamer Trunk | home

The Hell Yes seven-inch single was released on earlier this month on Lookout Records. The two tracks featured on the single were both recorded during the From Here to Infirmary sessions. The A-side "Hell Yes" is sung by Matt Skiba and features the same catchy guitars that fans of the Trio have become accustomed to while Skiba sings tongue-firmly-in-cheek about trying to sell his soul to the devil. Basically it's poking fun at the same stuff the band did with their debut album, by titling it Goddamnit and putting three alarm clocks all set to six o'clock (666) on the cover of the album. How can you not love a song with the chorus of "Well it's me dark father/ I have sinned/ I've done it before and I'll do it again/It keeps me warm/Makes you smile/You've been beneath me all the while/Hell yes." The B-side features Dan Andriano singing on the sublime "Standard Break from Life." The mid-tempo track tells of someone suffering from burn-out and bitching about his need for a break from life, that he seems to be taking more and more. It actually sounds like something that could have been on the last Green Day album. A beautifully arranged pop song, that fits in perfectly as a traditional Lookout Records song. Both songs are great and should have been included to beef up Infirmary so if you like what you here on Infirmary, have a record player, and four bucks handy go on over to Lookout.com and get this single.
