Like a solid bottle of Irish whiskey, Alexisonfire just keeps getting better with age. Now that they’ve released their third single “The Northern” off Old Crows/Young Cardinals, there’s no telling what the St. Catherines band will get up to next.  Our own Mike Sullivan caught up with George Pettit on the phone…


 

Check out the new single On Demand right here at ExploreMusic.  Post a comment; make sure to tell us what you think!



So talk about maturing, the hardcore frontman is now a dad!? George and his wife Megan just had their son Owen Edward on December 21st. Congratulations, the kid will be throwing down in no time!
Alexis recently put out a music video for their second single “Born and Raised,” which let a head-banging crowd of fans be in the film and moshing dragons. Wicked. They’re finishing their Australian tour in February, and will be back in Canada to play an awesome line-up with Billy Talent and Against Me in March.

 Here is part of an interview from EM’s Official YouTube site.

5 Songs You Gotta Hear Today
  1. Jeff Martin

    The World is Calling

    Since the Tea Party disbanded in 2005, their former frontman has been working on a solo career, among other things. The lead single from his first and so far only solo studio album, 2006's Exile and the Kingdom, is reportedly an open letter to the Bush administration.

    Sounds like The Tea Party (you guessed it!), The Doors at their most worldly psychedelic
  2. Hello Beautiful

    Virginia Symphony

    This Whitby band blends punk, rock, and hip hop in a refreshingly unique and engaging way. Soundtrack For Scenario is out now, and keep an ear out for a new album in 2010.

    Sounds like 311, Billy Talent
  3. Think About Life

    Sweet Sixteen

    You might think about life while listening to this Montréal band, but you'll probably be too distracted having a good time.

    Sounds like SLAVE to the SQUAREwave, The Sounds crossed with a light-hearted MGMT
  4. The Rural Alberta Advantage

    Don't Haunt This Place

    Recently signed to Bright Eyes frontman Conor Oberst's record label, Saddle Creek ... catchy Toronto by way of Alberta indie rock ... incredible harmonies!

    Sounds like Ra Ra Riot, Death Cab For Cutie, Hayden
  5. Najuah

    I Don't Wanna Love U

    Toronto six-piece fronted by two sisters. Diverse influences, a rock & roll attitude, and some good grooves give them very broad appeal.

    Sounds like No Doubt stripped of their ska, some time before Gwen went bananas.
