Alkaline Peta

Peta2 reports: Still riding high from the accolades for his latest album Crimson (Vagrant Records) and runaway single "Time to Waste," Alkaline Trio lead singer and guitarist Matt Skiba has just recorded a downloadable pro-vegetarian voicemail greeting for peta2-PETA's youth division. Visitors to peta2.com can download the message, view an exclusive interview with Skiba, and win a free iPod (with Crimson already pre-loaded), a personal phone call and personalized voicemail recording from Skiba, and lots of great merchandise.

"Hi, this is Matt Skiba from Alkaline Trio," says Skiba, who went vegetarian 10 years ago, in his downloadable voicemail greeting. "Your friend can't come to the phone right now. Maybe they're busy doing something useful with their time like spreading the word about how the meat and dairy industries are killing and torturing millions of animals each year, destroying the environment, and then lying to you about it. You can help stop this, too, by going vegetarian. Find out more at peta2.com. Oh yeah, and leave a message after the tone." [see the full story link to check it out and enter]
