Alexisonfire.

Ok so I'm doing this for my own benefit mostly but I though if anyone was a fan or had any thoughts, it'd be nice to see them.

Over the next few days I'm going to be concentrating on Alexisonfire. I feel as though I never gave them a fair shot before since I tend to shy away from anything 'screamo' but honestly, they're really good.

They were formed in 2001 in St.Catherine's Ontario, with 5 members.
* George Pettit – lead vocals (2001–present)
* Dallas Green – vocals, rhythm guitar, piano (2001–present)
* Wade MacNeil – lead guitar, vocals (2001–present)
* Chris Steele – bass guitar (2001–present)
* Jordan Hastings – drums, percussion (2005–present)

Now I love Dallas Green. He did a solo project called City and Colour which was more of an acoustic rock than anything. Listening to him and George Pettit sing in unison is stellar. I'll be going through a few of my favourite songs as soon as I get some hangover releif...

It's called the "Canadian Lumberjack" look. They got a bazillion tattoos, rarely shave, and are constantly screaming.

Wicked band if you like loud though!

The guys say their music is like "the sound of two Catholic high-school girls in mid-knife-fight", which having never heard but can picture in my head...seems accurate.

They got this wicked guitar shredding with George screaming over the top and Dallas throwing his harmony over top of that.

My favourite so far? This Could Be Anywhere is the World. I love that line:
Every breath I take I feel my lungs seal
This breeze feels more like shards of glass I'm more scars than skin

Just listened to it. Kinda sounds like Limp Bizkit and U2 had sex and this band is their bastard children. Wow.

Please don't insult any band by comparing them to Limp Bizkit, as they are the worst band EVER.

Hey now! They weren't all bad....they were at least a laughlaugh

But I don't think U2 and Limp is accurate...I'll have to think that one over...

It sounds U2ish, the Bizkitish, and goes back and forth.

I'm sorry, did I miss a memo, where your taste in music trumps everything?

No but to say Green Day is the worst band ever is just silly, do you personally have something against them? Have you forgotten about bands like Blink 182, who would OBVIOUSLY suck worse than Green Day. (and LB trumps them all in my opinion)

Plus I was comparing styles, not the bands. Geezus, some people are just whiney for a Sunday.

Call me whatever name makes you feel better, Green Day is not the worst band ever. They have been around for a VERY long time with a huge fan base.

Boiled Frogs is pretty wicked too...cool video. Dallas is kinda cute in his factory, but George looks hilarious in a cubicle.
Again, I love the speed of the drums, and Dallas and George go amazingly well together.

My youth is slipping, my youth is slipping away
Safe in monotony, so safe, day after day
Count your blessings
My youth is slipping, my youth is slipping away
cold wind blows off the lake and I know for sure that it's too late
Count your blessings on one hand
