About

Matthew Thomas Skiba (born February 24, 1976) is an American musician and songwriter best known as the co-lead vocalist and guitarist of the punk rock band Alkaline Trio. He also served as the co-lead vocalist and guitarist of Blink-182 from 2015 to 2022. Skiba's lyrical content commonly involves dark romantic themes.

Alkaline Trio formed in 1996 with Skiba as the frontman. Since then, the band has released ten full-length albums over two decades. Skiba also recorded albums with side projects including Heavens and theHELL, as well as two full-length solo albums with his backing band, the Sekrets. Most recently Skiba also played in a garage-punk supergroup named Lektron in 2023.
Following Tom DeLonge's second departure from Blink-182 in early 2015, Skiba was brought on to fill in for three shows and was later made a full-time member. He recorded two albums with the band, California (2016) and Nine (2019), before DeLonge returned in 2022.
