===Origins and mainstream success: 2001–2003===
[[Image:Alexisonfiregroupold.jpg|350px|left|Alexisonfire's original lineup, performing in early 2004]]Alexisonfire was formed in late 2001 as the result of a three-band break up. Pettit was playing bass in a tech-metal band called Condemning Salemn, Green was a lead singer and guitar player in Helicon Blue, and MacNeil and Steele played in a punk rock band called Plan 9. These bands broke up at the same time, and those remaining members still had the drive to play and succeed.<ref name=TruePunk>[http://www.truepunk.com/interviews/alexis_on_fire/ TRUEPUNK.COM - Interview with punk band alexisonfire<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> They got together, recruited Ingelevics, and formed Alexisonfire.<ref name=musicianguide>[http://www.musicianguide.com/biographies/1608004551/Alexisonfire.html Alexisonfire lyrics, music, biography, records, band, album, videos, CD, and the discography including Alexisonfire famous works<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> The band's name was derived from [[Alexis Fire]],<ref name=musicianguide/> the world's only lactating contortionist stripper.<ref name=AOFmyspace>[http://www.myspace.com/alexisonfire MySpace.com - Alexisonfire - St. Catharines, CA - Hardcore / Rock / Indie - www.myspace.com/alexisonfire<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> This caused problems when she discovered that they were using her website name as their band name, and she threatened to sue the band for copyright infringement.<ref name=PunkTV>[http://www.punktv.ca/?c=105&a=1439 Alexisonfire Exclusive Interview with George at Warped Tour 2006 for PunkTV.ca<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> However, they discovered the moniker was not registered, no further action took place.<ref name=musicianguide/> The band released its first EP, ''[[Math Sheet Demos]]'' in 2002, so named because the [[Compact Disc|CD]] was wrapped in former [[drummer]] [[Jesse Ingelevics]]' math homework.<ref name=PunkTV/> The group caught its first break when they caught the attention of [[recording engineer]] Greg Below and [[Montreal]] journalist Mitch Joel. The pair were setting up a record label called [[Distort Entertainment]] at the time, and coincidently they were looking for artists. Below was working with [[EMI]] at the same time and he used this to record the band at the company's in-house studio and land them a co-publishing and distribution deal.<ref name=musicianguide/>

On [[September 9]], [[2002]], ''[[Alexisonfire (album)|Alexisonfire]]'' was released, featuring two Catholic school girls engaged in a knife fight,<ref name=musicianguide/> which goes in hand with the band's description of their music.<ref name=DineAloneBio/> Although there was a distribution deal with EMI, the album's success was mostly attributed to [[word-of-mouth]]. The band proceeded to tour support their album, crossing Canada twice, and begin stepping into the United States and European scenes, playing with [[Billy Talent]], [[GWAR]], [[Juliana Theory]], [[Godsmack]], and [[Glassjaw]]. The band was starting to become more of a full-time job than a hobby.<ref name=musicianguide/> In the end, ''Alexisonfire'' was certified gold in Canada, marking 50,000+ sales.<ref name=CRIA1005/>

===''Watch Out!'': 2004–2005===
Alexisonfire had attracted considerable attention from major record labels, thanks to the solid success of their self-titled debut. However, when they started considering making a second album, the band felt that, for artistic reasons, they should remain independent, as it would give them better chances of developing and deciding their direction. They would remain with Distort Entertainment, and instead of using a famous producer, they recorded the album with [[Julius Butty]] at his studio near [[Hamilton, Ontario]].<ref name=musicianguide/>

''[[Watch Out!]]'' was released on [[June 29]], [[2004]], and was immediately successful. It debuted at #6 on the [[Nielsen Soundscan]] Top 200, and received gold certification in Canada in twelve weeks.<ref name=DineAloneBio/> The good critical reception came from the fact that the band was more focused from the eighteen months of touring, helping them harness more aggression, release more emotion, and fine-tune all the tracks. This lay in comparison to their debut album, which was mostly first drafts.<ref name=musicianguide/>

{{cquote|I think if you do it long enough, then you get better at it. You're on the road a lot and you just get better. Also, we had a great producer, Julius Butty. We learned what we like to play.

While touring in support of the album with [[Johnny Truant]] and [[The Blood Roses]] in [[Glasgow]], [[Scotland]] in October 2005, each member of all three bands had the word "Yeti" tattooed on themselves. On an episode of the MuchMusic program The New Music, Pettit and Green revealed that the inspiration for their "Yeti" tattoos came from the 1988 [[Gary Oldman]] film ''[[The Firm (1988 film)|The Firm]]''.

===''Crisis'': 2006–present===
On [[August 22]], [[2006]] the band released their third studio album, ''[[Crisis (album)|Crisis]]'',<ref name=Main-Badass>[http://www.theonlybandever.com/news.php?offset=50 Alexisonfire<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> which [[All Music Guide]] considered their best to date.<ref name=AMGCrisis>[http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:wcfpxqldldde allmusic ((( Crisis > Overview )))<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> The album was marked with a CD release party, where the band performed on a boat in [[London, England]]. In support of the album, the band toured across most of Canada with [[Every Time I Die]], [[Cancer Bats]] and [[Attack in Black]]; the latter was signed to the band's independent label [[Dine Alone Records]]. Immediately following that was an American tour with [[Moneen]], Cancer Bats, and [[A Change of Pace]].<ref name=Main-Badass/>

In a recent interview, vocalist [[George Pettit]] states that he is unaware of the direction that the band will head in for their next album, but that "The next record, I think, is us pretty much wanting to put the knife in screamo. I don't want to be the band that saves it, I want to be the band that kills it."<ref>http://www.canadaeast.com/ce2/docroot/article.php?articleID=29123</ref>

==Side projects==
The members of the band have many side projects:

===City and Colour===
[[City and Colour]] is Dallas Green's solo side project, under which he has released an [[Extended Play|EP]], ''[[The Death of Me]]''; two studio albums, ''[[Sometimes (album)|Sometimes]]'' and ''[[Bring Me Your Love]]''; and a [[live album]], ''[[Live (City and Colour)|Live]]''; all under the label Dine Alone Records. The Alexisonfire song, "Where No One Knows", was originally (in part) a song by Dallas Green (as City and Colour), where lyrics from the song feature on the track "Sam Malone". Similarly, Dallas Green is said to have written "Side Walk When She Walks" as City and Colour before it was recorded by Alexisonfire. He is set to release his second full length album on February 12th. The album is titled 'Bring Me Your Love.' The side projects name derives from Dallas Green's name, Dallas being a city, and Green being a colour.

===The Black Lungs===
[[The Black Lungs]] is a band formed by [[Wade MacNeil]]. Originally its members were [[George Pettit]], [[Jordan Hastings|Jordan "Ratbeard" Hastings]] and Sean McNabb of the now dissolved band [[Jersey (band)|Jersey]].

Alexisonfire

Alexisonfire (Alexis-on-fire)[1] is a five-piece post-hardcore band that formed in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada[2] in 2001. The band consists of George Pettit (lead vocals), Dallas Green (rhythm guitar, vocals), Wade MacNeil (lead guitar, vocals), Chris Steele (bass), and Jordan Hastings (drums, percussion).

The band describes their music as "the sound of two Catholic high-school girls in mid-knife-fight" (a reference to their song "a dagger through the heart of St.Angeles", which was also the inspiration for their album cover art). This comes from their method of using multiple vocalists: Green providing melodic, soft singing, and MacNeil's implusively sweet punk rock vocals on one side, with Pettit's polar-opposite explosive screaming on the other.[3] This management of good-versus-evil style of music and writing is unique to the band.[4] When the band came out of the underground like an "utterly captivating car-accident-in-progress" in late 2001, it was enough to impress critics[3] and attain a gold certification for their self-titled debut album.[5]

Aside from that, the band has released two more successful albums: Watch Out! in 2004, and Crisis in 2006, both which have achieved platinum certification in Canada.[6][7] The band toured in support of Crisis, until December 2007. From there they took a break over Christmas, and will soon begin writing a new album.[4]

Alexisonfire was formed in late 2001 as the result of a three-band break up.

These bands broke up at the same time, and those remaining members still had the drive to play and succeed.[8] They got together, recruited Ingelevics, and formed Alexisonfire.[9] The band's name was derived from Alexis Fire,[9] the world's only lactating contortionist stripper.[10] This caused problems when she discovered that they were using her website name as their band name, and she threatened to sue the band for copyright infringement.[11] However, they discovered the moniker was not registered, no further action took place.[9] The band released its first EP, Math Sheet Demos in 2002, so named because the CD was wrapped in former drummer Jesse Ingelevics' math homework.[11] The group caught its first break when they caught the attention of recording engineer Greg Below and Montreal journalist Mitch Joel. The pair were setting up a record label called Distort Entertainment at the time, and coincidently they were looking for artists. Below was working with EMI at the same time and he used this to record the band at the company's in-house studio and land them a co-publishing and distribution deal.[9]

On September 9, 2002, Alexisonfire was released, featuring two Catholic school girls engaged in a knife fight,[9] which goes in hand with the band's description of their music.[3] Although there was a distribution deal with EMI, the album's success was mostly attributed to word-of-mouth. The band proceeded to tour support their album, crossing Canada twice, and begin stepping into the United States and European scenes, playing with Billy Talent, GWAR, Juliana Theory, Godsmack, and Glassjaw. The band was starting to become more of a full-time job than a hobby.[9] In the end, Alexisonfire was certified gold in Canada, marking 50,000+ sales.[5]

Watch Out!: 2004–2005

Alexisonfire had attracted considerable attention from major record labels, thanks to the solid success of their self-titled debut. However, when they started considering making a second album, the band felt that, for artistic reasons, they should remain independent, as it would give them better chances of developing and deciding their direction. They would remain with Distort Entertainment, and instead of using a famous producer, they recorded the album with Julius Butty at his studio near Hamilton, Ontario.[9]

Watch Out! was released on June 29, 2004, and was immediately successful. It debuted at #6 on the Nielsen Soundscan Top 200, and received gold certification in Canada in twelve weeks.[3] The good critical reception came from the fact that the band was more focused from the eighteen months of touring, helping them harness more aggression, release more emotion, and fine-tune all the tracks. This lay in comparison to their debut album, which was mostly first drafts.[9]

I think if you do it long enough, then you get better at it. You're on the road a lot and you just get better. Also, we had a great producer, Julius Butty. We learned what we like to play. We're no longer virgins to the studio. We're just not quite the band we were a long time ago.

— George Pettit, MusicEmissions.com interview[9]

While touring in support of the album with Johnny Truant and The Blood Roses in Glasgow, Scotland in October 2005, each member of all three bands had the word "Yeti" tattooed on themselves. On an episode of the MuchMusic program The New Music, Pettit and Green revealed that the inspiration for their "Yeti" tattoos came from the 1988 Gary Oldman film The Firm.

Crisis: 2006–present

On August 22, 2006 the band released their third studio album, Crisis,[12] which All Music Guide considered their best to date.[13] The album was marked with a CD release party, where the band performed on a boat in London, England. In support of the album, the band toured across most of Canada with Every Time I Die, Cancer Bats and Attack in Black; the latter was signed to the band's independent label Dine Alone Records. Immediately following that was an American tour with Moneen, Cancer Bats, and A Change of Pace.[12]

In a recent interview, vocalist George Pettit states that he is unaware of the direction that the band will head in for their next album, but that "The next record, I think, is us pretty much wanting to put the knife in screamo. I don't want to be the band that saves it, I want to be the band that kills it."[14]

Though they are usually on tour with Anti-Flag, Norma Jean was their replacement for a shortwhile, however Anti-Flag is now back with them, alongside the bands Saosin, and The Bled.[citation needed]
