ALEXISONFIREAlexisonfire rose up out of the Southern Ontario underground in late 2001, to become one of the most successful indie bands out of Canada. Alexisonfire also has the distinction of being one of a handful of Canadian artists to perform two consecutive nights at the iconic Toronto venue alongside City and Colour, Drake, The Tragically Hip, and Sarah McLachlan. ALEXISONFIRE have released new track, “Complicit” the track comes on the heels of “Familiar Drugs,” which marked the band’s first new music in almost 10 years. Vocalist George Pettit says “‘Complicit’ is about recognizing the unfair advantages that we are afforded as white, heterosexual males. It’s about rejecting regressionist ideas of racism, misogyny and hetero supremacy. It’s about accepting that there is no freedom and no future in a world that is not inclusive.” Alexisonfire is set to begin tour next week with shows kicking off in London (UK) on June 1 followed by stops in New York, Los Angeles and Toronto. One of two dates at each The Wiltern in Los Angeles, Terminal 5 in New York and Budweiser Stage in Toronto are SOLD OUT. Joining the band are featured support acts Chastity and Child’s Pose in London (UK), Angel Du$t and Drug Church in New York City and Drug Church and The Dirty Nil in Los Angeles. In Toronto, Glassjaw and The Dirty Nil will perform the first night at Budweiser Stage, with Quicksand and Moneen filling in as support for the second night. Don’t be late for any of these as more sell outs happen. Click here for more ticket info.
