: Taken straight from the Alkaline Trio webpage :
"Pete Parada, who was filling in after Mike Felumlee left the band, has now been permanently replaced by Derek Grant, formerly of The Suicide Machines. More detailed information shortly." For those of you less familiar with Derek Grant, he was the Suicide Machines drummer back when they recorded "Destruction by Definition" and "Battle Hymns". In other words, he fucking rocks. This makes me very happy.
