мдееее....
лю у них песня

This town is his cause burying my neck
This air it takes off, without rushing, without haste

The streets are in distress,
The sun suffocates behind darkened skies
The grass is growing under my feet
I'm thinking it wont be long before you get

The line-up seems endless,
Underneath the salvation sign
We are the dead ones, we are the lost cause
We are the people who will not blame ourselves from this cause

The city, the city is haunted,
By ghosts (ghosts) from broken homes (homes)
Because this city, this city is haunted
There's no hope (hope) left for these souls (souls)

Every step I take,
I leave a small piece of myself behind
Soon there will be nothing left

The cracks in the pavement,
Match the cracks in their weathered skin,
The skies a brick wall, the clouds a juggernaut
Each day as we know
I stare in amazement, I can't believe this is where I live
Every breath I take, I feel my lungs fail

The city, the city is haunted,
By ghosts (ghosts) from broken homes (homes)
Because this city, this city is haunted
There's no hope (hope) left for these souls (souls)

Our steps seal fate
Our steps seal fate
(this is our celebration, come join the lost souls) [x2]

The city, the city is haunted
Walk with us

The city, the city is haunted,
By ghosts (ghosts) from broken homes (homes)
Because this city, this city is haunted
There's no hope (hope) left for these souls (souls)

Канадская пост-хардкор группа, состоящая из пяти человек. Внимание, название команды произносится, как "Alexis On Fire", а не "Alex Is On Fire"!

Из забавных особенностей группы: у каждого музыканта на теле имеется татуировка со словом "Yeti". На вопрос о смысле, вокалист Джорж Петтит загадочно улыбается и рекомендует всем посмотреть фильм Гари Олдмана The Film.

Всеми делами в Alexisonfire заправляет такой видный человек, как Джоел Керриер, владелец популярного канадского электронного журнала Bedlam Society, а также лейбла Dine Alone Records, где, собственно, группы и записывается. К слову о записях, последний альбом Alexisonfire - Crisis сразу после выхода очутился на первом месте канадского чарта - вот оно, признание.


надеюсь с английским лады
Alexisonfire rose up out of the Southern Ontario underground in late 2001 like some monstrous and utterly captivating car-accident-in-progress. Hitting the ground with an immediate full head of steam, Dallas Green, George Pettit, Wade MacNeil, Chris Steele and Jordan Hastings have not only impressed the critics with their sour/sweet approach to performance and writing, but are recognized for their stellar musicianship, and the palpably pent-up tightness of the band live.

This is music for both sides of your brain. In your left ear, the poignant and melodic vocals of Dallas, injected with the devilishly sweet phrasings of the axe-wielding Wade, speak of impulse and introspection. In your right ear, George offers the testimony of the tortured soul, syncopated power-scream vocals that energize and counterpoint -- a couple of cartoon-character angels and devils sitting on your shoulders, offering 2 very different interpretations of the same musical message.

Alexisonfire knows that the fans aren’t stupid. The fans know the real deal when they see it, and in the case of AOF, they seem to have told 2 friends, who told 2 friends, and so on. During the year that followed the release of the self-titled 2002 debut album, the band has shot into the spotlight like a streaker at an All-Star game: Gold Record certification in Canada for both debut and sophomore albums; 5 videos reaching Heavy rotation on MuchMusic, 2 MMVA awards; New Group of the Year at the 2005 Junos; album releases and major tours in Japan, Australia and the UK. This may all sound like SOP for an up-and-coming rock ensemble, but this is a band that often describes its music as “the sound of two Catholic high-school girls in mid-knife-fight”. This hasn’t happened before. Nobody is more aware of this fact than the St. Catharines’ natives. Taking it all in stride, they remain guile-less, affable, and capable of equal amounts of sarcasm and self-deprecation. And with the new album “Crisis”, Alexisonfire have, dare we say it, matured.

With songs ranging in subject matter from the Blizzard of 1977 which paralyzed portions of the Niagara and Northern New York region, to disenfranchised steadfast employees, the album on a whole embodies a much darker theme. AOF attributes this to traveling around the world the last couple of years then coming back home and seeing things without rose coloured glasses.

As for writing the album, the process was much more “rhythmically liberal” than anything the band’s ever worked on. There was no format, no formula. Alexisonfire wasn’t concerned with making a “hit” or following any “rules”, just creating songs that the greater sum of each part loved to play live. They wanted to create songs that were anthemic. They wanted to play songs that hit kids in the chest. This translated into the mindset the band took into the studio. AOF stripped everything down and learned to write and record a record that captures the essence of the band’s live sound, without looping or overdubs or layers.

So if you stop and listen, or God forbid, see a live show, it’ll all oddly start to make sense...
