Alexisonfire: nesting in Hamilton
DAN HAWIE
MUSIC EDITOR
“Sometimes the things that you hate influence your music more than the things you love.”
These words have resonated with Alexisonfire’s grittily dynamic frontman, George Pettit, who’s sweated just about every aspect of Canadian music since the band’s inception nine years ago. “I read that quote in an interview with [guitarist Dallas Green], and I never really thought about our musical direction like that until now.”
Having just settled into his Hamilton abode following a lengthy European festival tour in support of the band’s fourth LP release, Old Crows/Young Cardinals, Pettit remains optimistic towards the band’s longevity despite the current overwhelming media shift favoring auto-tune-plagued artists.

Greenberg (A Film Review)
4 ½ out of 5
Noah Baumbach’s Greenberg is a triumph of perceptive wit and squandered dreams. It is of a specific time and place, focusing on characters so acutely drawn it’s scary how authentic it feels.
