It had to happen eventually. After years of dominating the Canadian music scene, Alexisonfire returned home to St. Catharines to play the L3, one of the venues they got their start at playing to dozens of people almost 10 years ago. There were a few more than people at this MySpace "Secret" Show, though. The line to get in to this...

Alexisonfire — Old Crows/Young Cardinals

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) June 23, 2009 2:51 pm
Alexisonfire have gone through huge changes since they formed in 2001 in St. Catharines, Ont., and that's reflected on Old Crows/Young Cardinals, their fourth full-length album. The band's sound has slowly evolved over their eight years and Old Crows/Young Cardinals' material is much, much different from the songs found on their 2002...

Edgefest 2009 Is Muddy

By Bianca Marcus (CHARTattack) June 22, 2009 3:58 pm
Festivals are great — an entire day of music, hanging out with like-minded people ("You like Metric? I love Metric!! Let's be besties!"), and enjoying the sunshine. Oh wait — scratch that. Sunshine wasn't part of the deal at Edgefest this year. The rain came down all day and transformed Downsview Park into one giant mud puddle. It made...

Bedouin Soundclash And Friends Reclaim Music At MMVAs

I'm not sure how many people actually saw it, but Bedouin Soundclash and their friends may have saved the MuchMusic Video Awards. Once the glitzy televised awards show ended last night, the Bedouin crew headed up a motley jam of cover songs under the banner the "MMVA 08 Aftermath" for a half-hour set that was streamed online at...

Alexisonfire Give Fans A Late Christmas Gift

in
By John Papamarko (CHARTattack) January 29, 2008 2:30 pm
"Fuck Mississauga" was the sentiment shouted by a boisterous fan "rehydrating" in the beer cage. It was a sentiment shared by many who attended Friday's Alexisonfire show at Sound Academy, a make-up for those fans unable to make the trek to Arrow Hall during a December snowstorm. I walked in as openers Arkells, whose blues...

Seeing one of Canada's most popular rock bands in one of Toronto's smallest clubs is definitely not something that happens every day, which is why Alexisonfire's gig at The Reverb, their first of six sold-out hometown shows, was one of the biggest tickets of the year. With the show selling out in minutes, their diehard fans, some of whom spent...

Alexisonfire — Crisis

in
By Shehzaad Jiwani (CHARTattack) August 22, 2006 11:16 am
As figureheads of the screamo scene, it's easy to write off Alexisonfire as sort of what Limp Bizkit were to nu metal. Well, at least it was before they wrote Crisis. With their third album, they've simultaneously sprinted ahead of their imitators while keeping their core sound intact.The band must have taken notes while touring with...

Alexisonfire/Moneen — Switcheroo

in
By Shehzaad Jiwani (CHARTattack) November 1, 2005 2:20 pm
The split EP is a format that punk bands have been employing for years, so it's interesting to see a more mainstream act like Alexisonfire doing one with lesser-known Torontonian talents, Moneen. This split is a lot of fun because both bands cover each other's songs and, more importantly, they're having a blast doing it. Moneen's version of Alexis...

Alexisonfire — Watch Out!

in
By Keith Carman (CHARTattack) June 8, 2004 10:39 am
The worst part about Watch Out! is that it’s a massive step up from Alexisonfire’s eponymous debut yet, the band are so nonchalant, they probably don’t even realize it. Where most screamo bands will fade into obscurity, this proves that AOF are on the track to forging a scene of their own. More experimental without alienating their inherent style...
