Early bands
In 1993, he and several friends from the Elgin area formed the punk-ska band Slapstick, with Andriano playing bass and contributing backing vocals. He would remain a member through the release of two full-length albums (Lookit! and a self-titled compilation) until the group's breakup in 1996. After the breakup he and two other ex-members of Slapstick formed the band Tuesday, which released an EP, Early Summer, in 1997 and a full-length album, Freewheelin, later that year.
In late 1997, Andriano was asked by Matt Skiba to join the Alkaline Trio, replacing original bassist Rob Doran. His first release with the band was the 1998 EP For Your Lungs Only. He has appeared on every subsequent release.
In 2019, Andriano joined the rock supergroup The Damned Things, replacing bassist Josh Newton. He has recorded one album with the band titled High Crimes.
Andriano announced a new side project in August 2021 called Dan Andriano & The Bygones composed of himself and Get Married members Dylan Moore and Randy Moore.[4] Later that year, the group announced their debut album, Dear Darkness, which released on February 11, 2022.[5]
