Alexisonfire (pronounced "Alexis on Fire") is a Canadian post-hardcore band formed in St. Catharines, Ontario in 2001. The band's members are George Pettit (vocals), Dallas Green (vocals, rhythm guitar, keyboards), Wade MacNeil (lead guitar, vocals), Chris Steele (bass) and Jordan Hastings (drums, percussion). The band has won numerous awards, and in Canada their albums have all been certified either gold or platinum.
Blending aggressive and melodic elements, they gained popularity with their self-titled debut album in 2002, featuring their breakthrough single "Pulmonary Archery". Their second album, Watch Out! (2004), brought commercial success in Canada, while their third release, Crisis (2006), debuted at No. 1 on the Canadian Albums Chart and solidified their international reputation. Old Crows / Young Cardinals (2009) continued their evolution with a heavier and more experimental sound. After disbanding in 2011, the band reunited for a series of shows before officially reforming in 2015. They released Otherness in 2022, their first full-length album in over a decade, marking a return to their signature sound with new creative directions.
