I'm not sure how many of you will even be fans of the wonderful Canadian post hardcore band Alexisonfire, but I thought "What the hell there's got to be some fans out there who know and love them."
As of yesterday, the 10 year long career of Alexisonfire, came to an end, with George Petit, the bands frontman, leaving a detailed and heartfelt letter on the bands website, TheOnlyBandEver, declaring that after much discussion and deliberation, they have decided to part ways, and leave Alexisonfire for good, as Dallas Green pursues his booming side project City & Colour, and Wade MacNeil takes the offer to join another band.
Over the past 10 years, I have been a huge fan of the ragtag bunch of friends, Alexisonfire, as they soared through the charts and won award after award in what seemed to be an unstoppable career, catching them numerous times in concert, meeting every member and loving every moment.
But all good things must come to an end, and so the era of Alexisonfire has come to it's bitter end.
I just wanted to know any fans out there... What do you think of the split? Do you think they'll do a worldwide farewell tour even though they've only announced a Canada wide farewell tour? Do you think George is really retiring for good? And what do you think of Wade's possible move to Gallows?
