    01:36-01:54.....Dallas' comments here make me extremely hopeful that _"Otherness"_ wasn't just a one-off and more Alexisonfire records will be coming down the pipeline in the years to come.
    Because, I think we can all agree that the world is a better place when Alexisonfire is making music together!

    Most underrated band, arguably, in the history of alternative music. Not sure who else could swing for that title, except for Thursday and Hurt (who are barely even known, let alone rated). Totally guts me out how many people I've spoken to who went to Slam Dunk and have literally no idea who AOF are, and didn't bother to watch them. They're so relevant to alternative music and emo/emo-adjacent music. Your favourite emo band's favourite emo band is AOF, no question. It's almost shocking to me also how many people know Dallas Green for C&C but haven't ever listened to AOF. How can you separate the two? If you travelled back in time and stopped this band from forming, the entire landscape of post-hardcore and alternative music would be completely different, and frankly, colourless.

    So glad these guys are still putting out new music there was a long gap there for a while without any new songs. But so glad they’re still slugging it out. There was a slew of bands like this over the last 20 years but Alexisonfire Is definitely one of my favorites,

    I highly agree boys. As a kid from your area who is now 35 and saw you live as his first concert in 2001, this album is by far the best. It just hits different and makes me so happy on many levels. Thank you boys.

      One of the things I absolutely LOVE about them is the fact that despite their artistic progression and maturity at this point, this new record is 100% Alexisonfire, yet unique and different than anything they’ve made before. Very mature/bluesy vibe I get from some tracks on this album and I love that shit!!!!

    I went to Warped Tour in Charlotte 04 and 05, but back then AOF were only on the north eastern legs around New York State and closer to the Canadian border. Never have gotten to see them live.

    One of the most annoying and awkward things about interviews like this: it seems like the interviewers intentionally don’t bring enough mics. It just adds such an awkward dynamic to the interview passing a single mic between band members. So dumb. Just bring enough mics.
