Alexisonfire emerged from St. Catharines, Ontario in 2001 and became one of the defining post-hardcore bands of the 2000s, pioneering the 'screamo' tag in mainstream consciousness. The interplay between Dallas Green's soaring clean vocals and George Pettit's raw screams created a dynamic tension that drove albums like 'Watch Out!' and 'Crisis' to platinum status in Canada. Their 2022 reunion album 'Otherness' proved the chemistry between their dual vocal attack remains as potent as ever.
