Old Crows / Young Cardinals is the fourth and final studio album form post-hardcore band Alexisonfire, released on June 23, 2009.

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.

Dallas: "He comes he comes.."
George arrives, grabs the mic and start delivering!
Exactly!!!!
I'll never forget when a buddy asked me, at LEAST 5 years ago to come to a show he was putting on at his Bilingual, -500 student high school. I asked him who's playing;
"Alexisonfire.. They're pretty good man."
I shoulda' listened... Welp, I'm an idiot.
I do not leave comments very often but alexisonfire really fucking changed my life. The greatest band I've never seen live. This song has gotten me through a lot of shit. When you listen to it over and over the notes, the patterns, the voices all coincide and have a purpose for the song's overall theme. It's perfect.
I will never understand why alot of people don't like this album. It's my favorite.
I love the drumming in this song
I love everything in this great song
It's fkn fantastic
I love Hastings' creativity. He was such a perfect addition to the band when Jesse left.
54 and love this song
Alexisonfire is the best 🤘 but you just hear “Whispering Wolf” 🐺 by SLT 🔥🎸🎧🎶🥁!!! 💥
I love how powerful AOF music can be...
George & Dallas complement each other so nicely with Wade adding himself in. How awesome are they? From Drums to Guitars to Vocals to Lyrics to Performances to Fans they are the best band ever.
The only comment ever!
i was actullay surprised when i saw them live, they are almost exactly like this live, so amazing to see
and they do 12 years later as well!
100% seen them open for a7x and they honestly stole the show away from them.
How come the highest rated comments aren't about how awesome this song is?!
...this song rocks!
i love everybody, every nation, every race! Peace and love you guys, its not too difficult !
❤️ still listening to this amazing album in 2022
Alexisonfire is the best 🤘 but you just hear “Whispering Wolf” 🐺 by SLT 🔥🎸🎧🎶🥁!!! 💥
i could listen to dallas green sing " hallelujah, we'll praise the lord
hallelujah, hallelujah" in a church anyday
his voice is amazing
This band is so great, but brings back bad memories :P, but still I just wanted to listen to them bc they are too good to forget lol
i agree 100%
This album came out during a very dark time in my life with this song being the "main theme" of it all. I think it's healthy to revisit those kinds of feelings every once in a while because it allows you to make peace with them.
Hallelujah ..we will praise the lord !

It's astounding when you realize how much this band has matured since they began. I love it. George's screams have that perfect roughness without overdoing it, and I can't say anything more about Dallas that hasn't already been said lmao. I'm glad wade has moved into the picture as well. Just awesome, so awesome. One of my favorites bands for the last 8 years.
Deafinantly one of the greatest Canadian bands I have heard & love to listen to. Sad to say they're finished. Never had the pleasure to see them live. Non the less, their music lives on to amaze people who still listen. Best of luck to the band members in their futures.
i miss these guys so much
+Trucmush Machin It's your lucky day! They're getting back together!
I’m back 12 years later after seeing they are playing aftershock. And I love it.

Everything about this music video is just so bad ass. The cinematography is phenomenal, and how George descending the hill on the line "He comes, He comes." A lot of people are saying that the song would be better without George's vocals, but I think it adds a lot of contrast to it, and it breaks up the song. Otherwise we'd get 4:38 of Dallas singing the same lines with the same vocal pattern. That'd be boring! The fact that he brings crusty Casualties vocals and his old screaming in this song shows how experimental he was getting with his vocals, and I appreciate that so much more than hearing the same thing over and over. But hey, it's my opinion. Feel free to convince me otherwise.
have you ever hear the acoustic version it's amazing it's just dallas and wade and wade does george's part and he actually has a nice raspy voice...i think they should of had him do george's part in the real version two...still a sick song tho
I actually like both versions! I agree that George's vocals add the heaviness to it, but Dallas; voice is so amazing. This video is definitely badass.
Btw just discovered this band, not too shabby.
...ok they still have albums....did you want a cookie for that comment or something?
Sealsds I want a cookie! Chocolate chip please.
Gotcha, but how bout macadamia instead?
Never too late!
***** they will play this summer at the heavy montreal :D
Cheers from Niagara 🇨🇦👌
My favorite from the band
Me too, by far their best song
cheers to AOF in winnipeg 2 days ago...stayed after the show and met the entire band! such a great group of guys!!
The song is about slavery and referencing an old slave hymn, called Roll Jordan, Roll. There is a reason why it is called the northern (north = freedom), and the song would basically be from the standpoint of a slave cursing his oppressors (God = judge). The video is a bit strange though, and that could make it a bit more confusing, but it isn't actually about religion at all. It is definitely a theme, but isn't directly about religion. The hymn also has significant importance to the development of jazz (which later lead to rock n roll).
crosses everywhere yet it isn't about religion at all? 7 trumpets? huh?
My understanding of it is essentially slaves cursing their (for lack of a better word) masters. So religion is a part of it obviously, but that isn't what the main focus of the song is. Honestly, the music video is very confusing, and the main reason I would say it is more about slaves is because of the roll jordan line (which makes you look at the rest of the song a little differently).
or it might be both? haha
perhaps he is calling the highly religious slaves..
I think you're right. in 12 Years they sing the very song I think Dallas says they ended up getting inspired to write this song.
Always forever!

Who is listening to Alexis in 2018?
2020
in 2020
im listening to Ale 2020
InvalidM8 I am still here in 2020.
How about 2024
Everyone needs to hear this song... so beautiful
I'm sad to say that the Big albino Boa in this video passed away today at the age of 10. Aneth was a very unique creature, she has taught many people to no longer fear snakes, She has been held by the smallest of Children, and as far as snakes go, touched the heart of many. RIP Aneth xo
Wasn't a huge fan.. saw them once live now I'm obsessed with them.. one of the best under rateted bands ever ❤
Fr! They sound amazing live!
@@beefchimichangaSalvothey actually do I saw them in van maybe 2007 sound was phenomenal
this song reminds me of tool
you don't listen to enough gospel.
the screams in this song give me goosebumps, such an amzing band
You know, always see people bashing religion and all, but here is a point, and read this, and then, re-read it so that you fully grasp and understand my statement before posting an idiotic response. Now, most people claim to be against religion, and don't believe in god.... Etc. etc... Point is, if you are one of thise people, why does it bother you soooo much and drive you sooo insane that other people do believe in something? Hear me out, because the internet is full of trolls, kids, and people wih entirely too much time on their hands. If you truly do not believe in something, or dont want to be involved that is your choice, just like it is mine to believe in something. So please people, why not just move on to something instead of bashing someone or throwing a little 12 year old fit because someone does not believe what you do? Enjoy life how you want, it is your choice. Thanks for reading.
You're missing the point entirely. We don't have a problem with you believing in something. You can believe absolutely whatever you want. What we have a problem with is you forcing it on us, or indoctrinating children or waging wars in your God's name, or throwing your God-logic (lack therof, more aptly) into scientific forums. We don't have problem with you believing in God. We have a problem with you believing God wants you to preach to us, hate homosexuals and disallow women personal freedoms.
LOl @ you bro...just LOL. no one forces anything on you. God gave everyone one a free will. and the simple fact that you wasted your time reading my comment, and posted your own, simply PROVES my statement correct sir. thanks, have a nice day.
LOL...you got draged to church? ok so that doesnt mean someone forced religion on you, that means you were raised in a christian home, and under your parents roof you do as your told, as per the way of living since the beginning, lmmfao. and secondly kiddo, and listen good....if you do not like the christian standards, and you dont want your children fighting for this country...and here it is so pay attention, LEAVE AMERICA. then go cry on the internet. americans have the RIGHT to have FREEDOM! go to another country and you will see what having a religion FORCED on you really is pumpkin. and ....heres the best part...QUOTE ME ON WHAT I JUST SAID! now...think of something else stupid to reply to mke, i know tyou will....you people with no life on the internet ALWAYS have something else tosay. lmmfao. g'day
I don't have time to bullet-point the amount of fail and hypocrisy in that. But in short, I have "no life" because I reply to your rambling, backwards, self-insistent diatribe, yet you seem to have the time to come back and type out a longer reply than mine, needing twice as many words to apparently say nothing. And that last reply of yours pretty much solidified that you have no logical argumentative ground to stand on. You speak with this tone of lofty condescension and enlightenment as if you are thoroughly researched in your conclusions and we're all just idiots, but the reality is your attitude is merely a paper scaffold to prop up and lend faux credibility to talking points that are the same as those possessed by my uneducated relatives.
I can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into, so have a good one, chief.
lol, you failed yourself by even attempting to rant on a comment that had nothing to do with you "hard struggle of a life" because someone once told you about GOD, or excuse me, :forced " god into your poor ears. LMMFAO, i am done with you.
This video is beautiful. it sends shivers down my spine.
Even the way the sun is low on the horizon, I can't listen to this unless there's a few hours to get over the emotions.
Takes me back...
The music video still slaps in 2022
Alexisonfire is the best 🤘 but you just hear “Whispering Wolf” 🐺 by SLT 🔥🎸🎧🎶🥁!!! 💥
RIP one of the best bands of all history !!!!!!
HOLYY SHITTT CANNNOOOTTT WAIT FOR THEIR FAREWELL TOUR OMGG! :D NEVER BEEN MROE EXCITED!!!!!!!!!
I'm going to listen to all their albums back to back tonight.
As a tribute. A great loss to music.
They'll keep growing, but won't die for a long time
As Canadians we rise as heroes nd keep the rock n roll on top
Wow! This was filmed in Lithuainia, the crosses are a dead give away, thats freakin awesome.
I have a few friends in th U.S. that really like this kind of music and have never heard of Alexisonfire! i played this song for them and they were blown away. There is so much great Canadian music being written that isnt getting exposure outside of Canada.
this band fuckin rocks, seriously i like ALL their songs.. they got a unique music style
Alexisonfire = perfection. My favourite band ever, cannot wait for their UK tour later this year.
watched it like 0394039 times and everytime is like first time. very beautiful video.
I love that, 'I waaaant to gooooo to heaaven!' part. That is the best bit.
Love the way the big fella just rolls on down and starts getting it going...
George is the man!
that echo of "Roll Jordan" is great.
Can't stop listening to this song
This is one of the most powerful videos, ever. Only Alexisonfire could bring up so much emotion about a topic such as this. I sincerly hope they rise form their ashes one day
Really sucks not getting to see them show up to Buffalo, NY during one of the last tours, I wanted to see them very badly and couldnt make the shows in Canada.
yup Canadians rock literally. looking forward to the new generation of Canadian artists
Wow just wow......they are the best
1:31 ....those voices together....absolutely amazing. There will never be another band in this genre (or whatever you'd like to call it) that can do it like AOF could.
this song flows so well
I think this could be one of my most favourite songs.
awesome boys,, BIG thanks
video clip is pure art, so is the singing....
I bloody love this song!
this song is a great combination of genres.
Alexisonfire pulls it off soooo goood !
Beautiful. Just love this band.
So lucky!
there is actually a hill just like that in Lithuania. Very cool song and video!!!!
Such a badass track. Whether you listen to it as an (new) old field hymn, a song about how faith can help you through hard times, a song about how misplaced faith can cause/worsen hard times, or some combination thereof, it works perfectly...
Briliant
Were awesome yesterday night!! Definitely going to see them again when they come back ^.^
I can't believe this video's been out for so long, and I never knew about it!! It's a fantastic one at that, so delightfully disturbing!!
I'm from the U.S.A. and Dallas Green makes me wish I was born Canadian.
Possibly my favorite Alexis song......
wow I love it
Wow...This is the best video I have ever seen! It's fucking epic!!! Plus the song is awesome!
ALEXISONFIRE IS THE BEST BAND EVER THEY HAVE DONE WHAT NO ONE ELSEHAS AND I LOVE THEM FOR THAT R.I.P ALEXISONFIRE

I Was There when they filmed the cross parts!!! Centenial Hill. in toronto.!
This song is amazing.
Crisis is still my favorite album.
rock on fellas ,plz come to my town so i can go see u in concert
That was an amazing show!
Serious. This is what I miss most. The shredding guitars... the roughness of George... the haunting echoes of Dallas. Bass and drums are always perfect. Nothing can ever replace Alexis... just... too good.
Nostalgia
Alexisonfire is the best 🤘 but you just hear “Whispering Wolf” 🐺 by SLT 🔥🎸🎧🎶🥁!!! 💥
