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 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.

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 »

Because I’m Canadian and it’s Canada Day weekend this weekend, I thought “I need to have a big Canadian musician on my show.” And there’s none bigger than a guy who plays in 2 huge Canadian bands. One being AlexisOnFire and the other being City + Colour– I have Dallas Green on the show this week!
