Today, Alexisonfire announced a new live album, LIVE Born & Raised 2022, St Catherines ON, which is scheduled to debut later this month on June 27. Ahead of the LP, they’ve shared the single, “Little Girls Pointing And Laughing,” a live version of the first song they wrote as a band over 20 years ago. The album will feature 17 tracks, recorded live in the band’s hometown of St. Catherines during their inaugural Born & Raised Festival. The LIVE Born & Raised 2022, St.Catherines ON LP is Alexisonfire’s way to pay homage to the community they practically owe their careers… Read more »

The album stays true to Alexisonfire’s signature post-hardcore sound; battling vocal styles between Dallas Green’s sweeping melodies and George Pettit’s frenetic screamo. The Ontario born group came to New York City’s South Street seaport for a rooftop show at Pier 17 on Saturday, July 23rd. Idobi photographer Joseph Buscarello was on the roof over the East River – see the full photo gallery below.
Life without Alexisonfire has been exactly as we expected… Lackluster, and fairly disappointing. But never fear, because there’s a light at the end of this bleak tunnel—the band has just released their first live album.
Alexisonfire inherited the screamo crown of Canada this year, knocking it right off the emotionally hardcore heads of their peers. Their sophomore disc, Watch Out!, which the band describes as sounding like “two Catholic high-school girls in mid-knife-fight,” went gold in under three months, even though the band received little radio play. We caught up with lead screamer George Pettit to talk about the finer points of fronting the band and how his success is finally allowing him the chance to move out of his parents’ house. ChartAttack: You guys have had a crazy-good year. Has the success been any… Read more »

On the brink of releasing the deluxe edition of ONE MORE TIME…, blink-182 surprised fans before one of their performances with a listen of the new tracks to be included on the album. Mark Hoppus first announced the deluxe version of the LP at a concert in June, saying, “I have exciting news. The deluxe version of the ONE MORE TIME… comes out in late August.” After Tom DeLonge interrupts him, telling to “sell some more shit,” Hoppus continues with “I’m not trying to. What I’m saying is, there are more blink-182 songs in the near future for you all. … Read more »
During their expansive North American tour with Pierce The Veil, blink-182 made a stop in Chicago to headline the Lollapalooza August 4 date. Of course, the trio played the classics such as “All The Small Things” and they even played their unreleased track, “Can’t Go Back.” Additionally, they shared a fun twist on Dude Ranch hit “Dammit” with a fun pop-punk cover of the chorus of Chappell Roan‘s “Pink Pony Club.” Mark Hoppus sang the artist’s lyrics including, “I’m gonna keep on dancin’ at the Pink Pony Club,” before heading back into singing, “I guess this is growing up.” Read… Read more »
Travis Barker has come a long way since surviving a plane crash in 2008. The experience left him with a fear of flying that kept him grounded for 13 years.

Now, Barker has partnered with Trophy “to curate a special collection of memorabilia from” blink-182’s recent tour. “This exclusive collection features a variety of items, each carefully archived and authenticated by Trophy.” “Each item noted comes with a certificate of authenticity signed by Travis, guaranteeing the authenticity of each piece. These are not just signed items;… Read more »
