Listen To: Matt Skiba and the Sekrets

Ahhh, new music from Alkaline Trio’s Matt Skiba, along with his band the Sekrets featuring AFI’s Hunter Burgan on bass, and My Chemical Romance’s Jarrod Alexander on drums. The album, ‘Babylon’ was released yesterday and has already been getting quite a bit of play from a few of us on GEEKPR0N’s staff.

Sure, Skiba’s music is every bit as catchy and his lyrics are every bit as cynical as his Alkaline past but instead of his harmonies being complimented by Dan Adriano you get to hear Strung Out’s Rob Ramos. I’m a fan of musical supergroups and Matt Skiba and the Sekrets are no exception however ‘Babylon’ is very much Skiba’s own project. Thankfully there is way more guitar than synth this time around making ‘Babylon’ his best solo record yet. Listen to a track and find out where to stream the whole album after the jump, and please share your thoughts in the comments.

‘Babylon’ was released on May 8, 2012.
