Alexis On Fire
New Single
"Sweet Dreams of Otherness''
Alexisonfire announce Otherness, the first album in 13 years from the band Rolling Stone declared “put Canadian post-hardcore on the map”. Otherness is out June 24 via Dine Alone and features the explosive first single, “Sweet Dreams Of Otherness”. The video, directed by actor/director Jay Baruchel (Goon, This Is The End), premieres via the Alexisonfire Youtube out now.
Alexisonfire produced the new album themselves, is the most cohesive and self-actualized record to date, and marks 20 years since the release of their self-titled debut album!
AOF released four hugely successful Platinum-certified albums, now with over 200 Million global streams. As Revolver Magazine noted: “It’s hard to overstate the influence Alexisonfire had through the mid-2000s.” Five guys playing aggressive rock grew to an arena headlining phenomenon while pushing and pulling between spirited guitar leads, melodic might, and emotional weight.
“As much as we love playing the old songs, we don’t want to be a nostalgia act. The only reason to come back is if we feel we still have something to say,” Pettit insists. “We spent so much time on the road thinking that if we stopped, people would lose interest. But when we went away, it only got bigger. We all carved new paths for ourselves, so coming back to Alexisonfire is a purely enjoyable creative venture. Something special happens when we get in a room together.”
A continuous thread through the fabric of Alexisonfire is the state of otherness. Otherness drew us all to spaces where a band like this could be formed. We attract the type of individuals that have all felt the sensation of being strange or unique. Perceived or otherwise, otherness has followed us through childhood, adolescence, and into our adult lives. It drives our tastes and proclivities. It bonds us with ourselves and others. And make no mistake, even at our most domestic and mundane moments, we are true outliers. - Otherness mission statement
