Alexisonfire

Alexisonfire，來自加拿大安大略省的5人硬核樂隊，于2001年組建。 　　“Watch Out!” 和“ Crisis”是兩張非常成功的專輯，2007年12月為宣傳“Crisis”樂隊進行了加拿大巡演。貝斯手Pettit以前在一個重金屬樂隊“Condemning Salemn”，Green則是“Helicon Blue”的主唱兼吉他手，而MacNeil 和Steele則在一個朋克樂隊“Plan9”中。這幾個樂隊幾乎同時解散，（其余成員堅持做了下來并取得了成功）這成為了他們相遇的契機。之后他們招進新成員鼓手JesseIngelevics，正式成立了Alexisonfire。

Alexisonfire is a post-hardcore combo formed in Ontario, Canada, in 2001. Vocalist George Pettit, guitarist/vocalists Dallas Green and Wade MacNeil, bassist Steele, and drummer Jesse Ingelevics debuted in 2002 with a self-titled effort for the Toronto-based Distort imprint. The album did very well in Canada, garnering a lot of support for the band from MuchMusic video network. That exposure led to a distribution deal with the respected American hardcore and punk label Equal Vision, which then issued Alexisonfire's sophomore effort in June 2004. Watch Out! was even more ambitious than its predecessor, mixing moments of melodic grace with the wiry explosiveness that Alex had already trademarked. The next year, Ingelevics exited the group to be replaced by ex-Jersey drummer Jordan Hastings, as a split with fellow countrymen Moneen appeared on Vagrant that November. Green also worked on some acoustic solo material, released in 2005 under the moniker City and Colour. Alexisonfire had become an official part of Vagrant's roster by summer 2006, performing on their Warped Tour side stage and releasing explosive full-length number three, Crisis, that August. The guys then hit up the Reading and Leeds festivals in the U.K. prior to embarking on an extensive two-month fall tour of Canada.
