Question: Which band was formed first The Waterboys or Alkaline Trio?

Demos is the first full-length album by Alkaline Trio singer/guitarist Matt Skiba.  It is composed of demos that Skiba has recorded into his computer.  Skiba released the project on Asian Man Records, which was Alkaline Trio's label for their first two full-length albums, "Goddamnit" and "Maybe I'll Catch Fire".  Four of the songs from this release, namely "Angel of Deaf," "Haven't You," "How The Hell Did We Get Here," and "Nausea (Cruel and Unusual)," were later rerecorded and released on "Babylon", Skiba's first album with his band The Sekrets.  On that release, however, "Nausea (Cruel and Unusual)" underwent lyrical alterations and was renamed "Olivia." <SEP>  The band's membership, past and present, has been composed mainly of musicians from Scotland and Ireland with Edinburgh, Dublin, Spiddal, New York and Findhorn, serving as homes for the group.  Mike Scott has remained as the only constant member throughout the band's career.  They have explored a number of different styles, but their music is mainly a mix of Celtic folk music with rock and roll.  They dissolved in 1993 when Scott departed to pursue a solo career. The Waterboys are a Scottish/Irish folk rock band formed in Edinburgh in 1983 by Scottish musician Mike Scott.  They reformed in 2000, and continue to release albums and tour worldwide.  Scott emphasises a continuity between The Waterboys and his solo work, saying that "To me there's no difference between Mike Scott and the Waterboys; they both mean the same thing.  They mean myself and whoever are my current travelling musical companions." <SEP> The discography of Alkaline Trio, a Chicago-based punk rock band, consists of nine studio albums, two compilation albums, one split album, four EPs, one video album, sixteen singles, one demo, nine digital releases, and thirteen music videos.

This lineup released the band's demo tape and the 1997 single "Sundials" on Chicago record label Johann's Face Records, after which Doran left the band and was replaced by Dan Andriano.  The group then signed to Asian Man Records and released their debut EP "For Your Lungs Only" and album "Goddamnit" in 1998.  A second EP, "I Lied My Face Off", followed in 1999 and resulted in their first music video, for the song "Goodbye Forever".  In 2000 Asian Man released the band's second album, "Maybe I'll Catch Fire", as well as the compilation album "Alkaline Trio", collecting most of their previously released early material.  Porter then left and was replaced by Mike Felumlee. <SEP>  The band consists of guitarist and vocalist Matt Skiba, bassist and vocalist Dan Andriano, and drummer Derek Grant.
