- "In 2003 we were hugely influenced by current emotive indie and ambient rock music so we attempted to inject a little bit of that into our songs. Still writing very freely but time and travel had turned us into more methodical song writers. It's a very bizarre sounding record but you can hear the improvement in musicianship compared to the self titled. We were no longer virgins to the studio and in the very capable hands of producer Julius Butty. Something was starting to happen." - George Pettit
Alexisonfire sat down on camera at Dine Alone HQ to chat about each release and their favourite AOF moments, album by album.

Episode 4 - Old Crows/Young Cardinals
Episode 5 - Farewell Tour
Hailing from St. Catharines, Alexisonfire rose up out of the Southern Ontario underground in late 2001, to become one of the most successful indie bands in Canada. The band’s success also reached far beyond Canada’s borders. AOF released four hugely successful studio albums, Alexisonfire (2002), Watch Out (2004), Crisis (2006), and Old Crows / Young Cardinals (2009). Crisis debuted at #1 on the Top 200 Soundscan chart (Canada), and Old Crows / Young Cardinals debuted at #2, and charted at #9 on the US Billboard Independent Album chart. Watch Out helped earn the band New Group of the Year at the 2004 JUNO Awards. Their first 3 albums achieved Platinum certification in Canada while Old Crows / Young Cardinals reached Gold certification. The band also topped charts and graced several notable music magazine covers internationally (Kerrang, Blunt, Big Cheese, Canadian Musician, Exclaim! ). AOF’s sold-out 10th Year Anniversary Farewell tour in December 2012 touched down on four continents in 24 days, illustrating how meaningful the band still is to their legion of fans around the world.

This album will always be special to me. I would listen to it all night long while playing Resident Evil.
For me it’s smoking dope on my first job and eventually having sex with my first woman 😂
Happiness by the kilowatt is based on a Kurt Vonnegut short story called "Euphio Question" about a man who invents a happiness machine and realizes that continuous happiness is not all its cracked up to be. Definitely was one of Alexis' best songs
*it's (short for "it is"; "its" is the possessive form)
*Alexis's (singular possessive; there's only _one_ Alexis, not multiple :P)
@@dildojizzbaggins6969 Alexis' is correct in the original comment.
"We tried to move away from the screaming" So glad they didn't, the screaming is what makes them Alexisonfire
"And I Exhale Causing the oceans endless waves." My all time favorite Alexisonfire lyric. Got it tattooed on me on my forearm :) AOF Forever.
These guys deserve all the praise, respect and recognition for what they created.
Much as I love these videos, it makes you miss the band even more. If only this was a prelude to a new album.
i know :(
Mouhahaha
it's hard to concentrate on what they're saying cause the background music is so good!
Really enjoyed watching this. Favorite album of al!
George was always the most badass dude in this band.
Watch Out! Was definitely their best album. It kind of teetered between their developing song writing skills and more refined execution and commercial success. I think the best part is the repeat value it has. Happiness is what they ended their shows with. Sublime.
i've had a shiver every time a song started in the video.... Perfect album. Every single song are just ''perfect''
The difference between Dallas then vs Dallas now is unbelievable. He truly is a lot happier of a person now and you love to see it.
Definitely the best aof record :)
These guys were musically way ahead of their time
Happiness by the kilowatt is my favorite song ever. I have seen it live a few times and it has made me cry both times especially since they play it as the last song. Alexis is the best band ever and has brought more happiness and joy to my life than anything else will. Thank you boys. Proud to be Canadian
watch out is one of the best albums ever made
every tattoo ive gotten I listen to this album while it happens. Thanks guys.
Accidents still gives me goosebumps
"He should try to pronounce them" man too bad he wasn't around for the first record.... the first record is great but you can't understand a word George is saying. That shift on Watch Out! is a big part of what makes that record a masterpiece. I would kill for that vocal clarity on Alexisonfire
Definitely one of my favorite albums!!
Watch out was, imo, your best record. I'm sad you weren't able to produce the same music after Watch out.
Absolutely love this sort of mini series. I can't wait to get the box set!
Thanks for uploading these, I greatly enjoy learning more about the albums.
The Only Band Ever!
Best band in the world. Greets from germany.
Total respect lads. Much love from Australia 🇦🇺 and love the new tune Season of the flood.
Such a great vid! I keep looking for myself in this old footage #RIPAOF
So many memories on this album ❤️
AOF fuck yeahhh !!
The only band ever
Where's the farewell tour DVD! I wanna relive the last show.
watchout was the best album, the best balance between vocals, catchy drum and guitar riffs, hands down the best album!
Second favorite Alexisonfire album... After the first album!!!
Happiness by the Kilowatt was the song that got me into Alexisonfire, this album is pure genius
This made me smile so hard at the end. :)
love this! onlybandever
Absolutely unreal to think they hadn’t considered the melodic side of their sound until Watch Out! and Dallas just stepping up to the plate and serving all of the flawless lyrics of WO! naturally. He was 24(?) and yet sang like he had a decade of vocal training.
This rules so fucking hard, also this album is the best one.
Happiness by the kilowatt is one of the best songs ever!!!
awh yeah :D
I want this
Now I need a record player.
I reckon this is their best album. Also I love Jordan but Jesse was the better drummer, if only by a bit.
Happiness by the kilowatt is one my favorite song ever
Best thing that ever happened to the band was Dallas getting a haircut haha.
Alexisonfire episode four
I wonder why Steele wasn’t there
Dallas looks like Howard from big bang theory pre hair cut Haha
will there be more episodes? and - will the documentary be released as a dvd?
Where is part 4? Dog's Blood?
Have you got one of these for each album/era?
It would have been way cooler if the showed up in a stretch K car instead of a hummer.
Where are the other episodes?
On the site, man.
51sixseven8 Thanks dude!
Hey, do you wana join the best band ever ? Yeah sure, sounds like fun.
wish they would have stayed in this style instead of these vocal battle songs . should have kept the screams and used it more once it stopped I feel the band went down hill and well know they quit so ....
