Alexisonfire

 

Alexisonfire is a band I've been listening to since I was probably 13. I don't remember how I found out about them but I'm so glad I did. I'll admit for the first few years of listening to their music I thought their name was pronouced "Alex is on fire" but, alas, I was wrong.

The Canadian band formed in 2001, releasing 4 albums between then and 2009. Since breaking up in 2011 they have done some reunion shows but sadly, no more new music. 

In middleschool I got into Watch Out! and Crisis, especially songs like "Get Fighted", "Accidents", "White Devil", and "Keep It On Wax". As I got a bit older I paid more attention to Old Crows / Young Cardinals and it remains my favourite album of their's to this day. Songs like "Burial" and "Yound Cardinals" and "Accept Crime" connected with me on a level that I can't quite describe. I only recently listened to Death Letter EP although it came out in 2012 and I enjoyed hearing the different versions of some old classics.
