Alexisonfire (that's "Alexis On Fire") was a Post-Hardcore band from St. Catharines, 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 left to focus on their side projects, as well as "personal issues".
Band members:
- George Pettit- lead vocals
- Wade Mac Neil- guitar, vocals
- Dallas Green- guitar, vocals
- Chris Steele- bass
- Jordan Hastings- drums (2005-2011)
Discography:
- Alexisonfire (2002)
