The thieves have been at it again, this time it’s Mon­een who have been hit.

Matt Skiba’s solo album will not be released in the near future, des­pite being writ­ten, recor­ded and ready to go. Mike Park explains:

The release is going to be pushed back until after the new Alkaline Trio album is released. When you’re in a big band like the Trio, some­times you have to play by the rules of the big wigs in charge of whatever big wigs do. Matt told me he’d let me know as soon as pos­sible in terms of a release date. The album is fin­ished, mastered, and ready to be delivered as soon as we are given an exact date. Sorry if this causes any heartache to any­one, but will keep you updated as soon as we know what’s going on.
