Matt Skiba and The Sekrets is born

Members of US bands Alkaline Trio, My Chemical Romance and AFI have collaborated for new project Matt Skiba and The Sekrets.

Skiba who fronts Alkaline Trio, has enlisted Jarrod Alexander who is currently drumming for My Chemical Romance and AFI bassist, Hunter Burgan for the project's debut album 'Babylon.'

Babylon is set for release in the coming months through Superball Music, which launched in October 2007.

Skiba explains the new sound and label signing in a statement which reads:

"Creating a record on my own and deciding who plays and how the songs were structured, it was fun to do. I love working with my band-mates in Alk3 but to make a rock record that was just mine was something that I wanted to do. I am so delighted to be working with Superball Music. It was extremely important for the Matt Skiba and The Sekrets project to find the proper home.

"I am honored and ecstatic to have found a label that is as enthusiastic about this project as I am. I am very thankful to have Superball in my corner and look forward to the growth of our relationship and to the growth of this project."
