On The Road Again: Alexisonfire, Mothra And Dustin Bentall

Current Chart cover boys Alexisonfire will release their third full-length album, Crisis, next Tueday.

The St. Catharines, Ont. screamo quintet aren't wasting any time in getting on the road to support the new record, and they're taking Every Time I Die, Cancer Bats and Attack In Black with them. Fans who bring at least two non-perishable food items to the shows will receive a custom poster, buttons and stickers in exchange. Get your Alexis fix here:
