Mudhoney are still fighting the good fight, are blowing all other pretenders off the stage, and are a live force to be reckoned with.

The crowd doesn’t want to see him go but when the house lights come up, the punters are all smiles. It’s everything they’d hoped for, and a little something more.

What really separates Alkaline Trio from their peers when they’re in-form is their passion, which My Shame Is True has in spades.
