Alexisonfire

Alexisonfire (that's "Alexis On Fire") was a Post-Hardcore band from St. Catharines, Ontario, active from 2001-2011. Their style, described by the band as "the sound of two Catholic high-school girls in mid-knife-fight", featured stark contrasts between soaring melody and brutality, through the interplay between three singers. Their self-titled debut is considered a landmark of its genre and their other three albums went platinum in Canada. The band broke up in 2011 because singer/guitarists Dallas Green and Wade Mac Neil left to focus on their side projects, as well as "personal issues".

Band members:

 * George Pettit- lead vocals

This band provides examples of the following tropes:
"You had the coldest eyes and the softest touch"
 * A Good Name for a Rock Band- The band is named after Alexis Fire, the world's only lactating contortionist stripper (yes, really).
 * Breakup Breakout- Dallas has achieved great success with his solo project, City And Colour.
 * Careful with That Axe
 * Fan Disservice- Please, George, keep your shirt on when you sing!
 * Kuudere- "Adelleda":


 * Mundane Made Awesome- "Hey, It's Your Funeral Mama" is probably the most hardcore song ever written about go-karting.
 * Soprano and Gravel- a triple-male variant, with George providing the screamed vocals, Dallas; the melodic singing, and Wade, who provides the shouted, Hardcore Punk-style vocals.
 * Shout-Out- The cover of Watch Out! and the lyrics to "That Girl Possessed" are nods to The Exorcist.
 * Surprisingly Gentle Song- "Side Walk When She Walks", which is a relaxed song sung entirely by Dallas, with no screaming or heavy guitars.
 * Take That- "Keep It On Wax" is one, long "fuck you" to their first drummer, Jesse Ingelevics, for trash-talking the band after he left.
 * The Problem with Pen Island- The band name can by read several different ways. People on YouTube are constantly asking if it's pronounced "Alex is on fire" (it's not), which can be something of a Berserk Button for fans of the band.
