Since I didn’t look for too much new music the last ten years, anything from the last decade that I find seems new to me. And Alexisonfire falls into that category. I do remember seeing some of their videos around 2000 (yes, videos on TV, as this was around the last time I had access to cable television), but I never explored further, and they never got played on any radio that was near me.

They’re really good. Super hard music, but it’s great. Definitely syncopated and melodic too. And I have no problem with screaming. Plus they’re Canadian (so I don’t feel so bad about Nickelback or Celine Dion). So far my favourite album is “Crisis”. Here’s a good cut, but they’re all good. I don’t think there is a dud on this album.
