Line 1: {{~~work~~creator}} [[File:aof_8000.jpg\|frame\|Alexisonfire.]] [[Alexisonfire]] (that's "Alexis On Fire") was a Post-Hardcore band from St. Catharines, [[Canada, Eh?\|Ontario]], active from 2001-2011. Their style, described by the band as "the sound of two Catholic high-school girls in mid-knife-fight", featured stark contrasts between soaring melody and brutality, through the interplay between three singers. Their self-titled debut is considered a landmark of its genre and their other three albums went platinum in Canada. The band broke up in 2011 because singer/guitarists Dallas Green and Wade ~~[[Mac Neil]]~~MacNeil left to focus on their side projects, as well as "personal issues". === Band members: === * George Pettit- [[Metal Scream\|lead vocals]] * Wade [[Mac Neil]]- guitar, vocals Line 10: * Jordan Hastings- drums (2005-2011) == {{Discography~~: ==~~}} * ''Alexisonfire'' (2002) * ''Watch Out!'' (2004) Line 16: * ''Old Crows/Young Cardinals'' (2009) {{creatortropes}} ~~== This band provides examples of the following tropes: ==~~ * [[A Good Name for Aa Rock Band]]- The band is named after Alexis Fire, the world's only lactating contortionist stripper (yes, really).▼ ▲* [[A Good Name for A Rock Band]]- The band is named after Alexis Fire, the world's only lactating contortionist stripper (yes, really). * [[Breakup Breakout]]- Dallas has achieved great success with his solo project, [[Punny Name\|City And Colour]]. * [[Careful ~~With~~with That Axe]] * [[Fan Disservice]]- Please, George, keep your shirt on when you sing! * [[Kuudere]]- "Adelleda": {{quote\| You had the coldest eyes and the softest touch }} * [[Mundane Made Awesome]]- "Hey, It's Your Funeral Mama" is probably the most hardcore song ever written about go-karting. * [[~~Sopranoand~~Soprano and Gravel]]- a triple-male variant, with George providing the screamed vocals, Dallas; the melodic singing, and Wade, who provides the shouted, [[Hardcore Punk]]-style vocals. * [[Shout -Out]]- The cover of ''Watch Out!'' and the lyrics to "That Girl Possessed" are nods to ''[[~~The Exorcist (Film)\|~~The Exorcist]]''. * [[Surprisingly Gentle Song]]- "Side Walk When She Walks", which is a relaxed song sung entirely by Dallas, with no screaming or heavy guitars. * [[Take That]]- "Keep It On Wax" is one, long "fuck you" to their first drummer, Jesse Ingelevics, for trash-talking the band after he left. * [[The Problem ~~With~~with Pen Island]]- The band name can by read several different ways. People on [[YouTube]] are constantly asking [[Gannon Banned\|if it's pronounced]] "Alex is on fire" (it's not), which can be something of a [[Berserk Button]] for fans of the band. {{reflist}}
