Hailing from Ontario, Canada, Alexisonfire burst through the hardcore scene with rip-roaring energy, gut-busting adrenaline, and teeth-shattering noise. Their notorious live shows soon became stuff of legend, and with each album released they notched up a few more places on the richter scale of ear splitting sound.
Fans, and fellow musicians were left reeling when it was announced they would be breaking up back in 2011 — citing Dallas Green's wish to focus solely on City and Colour as one of the main reasons for their split.
In true Alexis style they delivered the goods, and gave their fans one last chance to catch them doing what they do better than anyone else — putting on a huge live show, and announced a farewell tour.
It wasn't long before each venue around the world was sold out, and the five metal masters would take to the stage together one last time.
They performed fan favourites We Are The Sound, Boiled Frogs, .44 Caliber Love Letter, Dog's Blood, and the timeless This Could Be Anywhere In The World.
As hard as it is to see them bow out, and knowing there will be no more new Alexis albums to anticipate and obsess over, it's fitting to see them leave at the top of their game. Unrivalled when it comes to live shows, unbeatable when it comes to writing killer riffs that blow steam from your ears, and eternally unforgettable.
So there it is, the only band ever — no more.
