We recently participated on Pacific Ridge Records' tribute to Alkaline Trio and thought it would be a novel idea to pay respect to the trio by releasing a mini-tribute of our own. So basically that's when we decided to create A3T, and since Alk3's newer material wasn't well represented on the 39 track tribute, 'This Addiction' and 'Mercy Me' were the natural choices for the album. Then we threw in a classic like 'Sadie' just to round out the record and crossed our fingers hoping we're doing Alkaline Trio justice by covering a few kick a** songs.
