Alexisonfire (pronounced "Alexis on fire") is a five-piece Canadian post-hardcore band that formed in St. Catharines, Ontario〔Ross, Mike. "(Band is a scream )", CANOE JAM!, April 30, 2004. Retrieved on July 17, 2007.〕 in 2001. The band consists of George Pettit (unclean vocals), Dallas Green (clean vocals, guitar, piano), Wade MacNeil (guitar, backing vocals), Chris Steele (bass guitar), and Jordan Hastings (drums, percussion). They describe their music as "the sound of two Catholic high-school girls in mid-knife-fight" (a reference to their song "A Dagger Through the Heart of St. Angeles", also the inspiration for their debut album cover art). When the band came out of the underground like an "utterly captivating car-accident-in-progress" in late 2001, it was enough to impress critics〔 as well as earning their self-titled debut album a gold certification in Canada.〔(CRIA Gold and Platinum Certifications for October 2005 ). Canadian Recording Industry Association (October 2005). Retrieved on September 22, 2007.〕 The band has released three subsequent successful studio albums since then: ''Watch Out!'' in 2004, ''Crisis'' in 2006, and ''Old Crows/Young Cardinals'' in 2009, each achieving platinum certification in their native country. Plus three special edition live albums from Manchester Academy, Birmingham Academy, and Brixton Academy.〔(CRIA Gold and Platinum Certifications for May 2007 ). Canadian Recording Industry Association (May 2007). Retrieved on September 22, 2007. They also recorded a "Switcharoo Series" album alongside Moneen, where the bands covered 3 of their each other's songs. Alexisonfire is releasing a new EP featuring their new single "Dog's Blood" and three other songs (Grey, Black as Jet and Vex) on 2 November 2010.〕〔(CRIA Gold and Platinum Certifications for April 2007 )Canadian Recording Industry Association (April 2007)〕 Their accolades include a 2005 Juno Award for New Group of the Year. In August 2011, George posted a message to fans on the band's official website stating that, following the departure of two members, would issue several special releases and complete a farewell tour before parting ways.〔(Alexisonfire )〕 On March 9, 2015 the band announced a reunion tour, their first since their farewell tour in 2012, including dates at Reading and Leeds festivals, Sonic Boom, Heavy Montréal, X-Fest and Riot Fest. On September 19th, 2015, at Riot Fest, the band announced their official reunion, though in a post on their official Facebook page the band clarified despite the fact they were "as good friends as they had ever been", there were "no immediate plans" for the future. ==History== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alexisonfire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
