Alkaline Trio es una banda de Chicago, compuesta actualmente por Matt Skiba, Dan Andriano y Derek Grant. Su punk pop es bastante peculiar, con constantes alusiones (gráficas, escritas y físicas) a lo gótico, la muerte, el fuego, corazones rotos o el alcoholismo.
La banda se formó en diciembre de 1996 con Matt Skiba a la cabeza (después de pasar previamente como batería por grupos como Jerkwater o The Traitors) de las voces y la guitarra principal, Rob Doran como bajo y voces , y Glenn Porter en la batería.
