The new album will feature re-workings of some classic Alkaline Trio material plus some new songs as well.
Skiba is also looking to record his second full length solo album in 2011 as well which will feature drummer to just about any band who needs him, Josh Freeze (The Vandals, Guns N Roses, Nine Inch Nails to name a few).

Tours? Well 2011 has plenty of them coming through. Ska band Streetlight Manifesto will hit in April along with City & Color (Dallas Green of Alexisonfire). Punk legends D.O.A will also make a trip down in the new year and so will Suicidal Tendencies. Add this to the growing list of sideshows from Big Day Out and Soundwave means alot of punk fans will surely go broke by the time the tax man comes. See below for dates
