Alexisonfire was the brain child of Helcama von shnowsitz,
a reclusive Norwegian doctor. Dr. Helcama had advance
knowledge of cloning and test tube human production.
One day he grew weary of the constant pressures of the
outside world so he drew up plans to make a lethal hit
squad of 5 Catholic school girls who would bring down the
capitalist regime that had crushed his will to live. But
unfortunately during the cloning process he spilled a vile
of what is known in the scientific world as AGENT X606.(two
parts lysol, one part jack Daniels) into the cloning tanks.
this had a drastic effect on his children of destruction.
what he thought to be girls were turning into boys. mildly
unattractive boys.
The first of the lethal creations to gain consciousness was
on More...

------ About the song Charlie Sheen Vs. Henry Rollins performed by Alexisonfire
I agree with you completely, I don't like their new album, Crisis was alright. I loved their self-titled album along with "Watch Out!," and The Switcheroo Series, their cover of Moneen's Passing Of America was brilliant.
Way to end a perfect cd!! | Reviewer: Rich
------ About the song Rough Hands performed by Alexisonfire
AOF is by far my favorite band. I listen to them everyday. Their lyrics are mindblowing. The only band that can compete with them on a lyrical and instrumental talent is The Receiving End of Sirens. AOF does a great job to relating the listeners.
AOF on Degrassi | Reviewer: paulL
------ About the song To A Friend performed by Alexisonfire
Alexisonfire is an incredible band and even more so live. Degrassi is also a great show, very addictive. probably my greatest guilty pleasure. I thinks its great that this song was played on one of the show's most significant episodes. Don't give this band crap, Both AOF and Degrassi are keepin Canada real. Also the show has had Taking Back Sunday, Fall Out Boy, and many many underground references as well. You should play "how many Tiger Army stickers i can find" during the next marathon.
Sharks and Danger | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Sharks And Danger performed by Alexisonfire
I think there's a big significance that the only thing the woman can do is introduce herself and doesn't say anything else, but truly I think what the man is saying relates to everyone, so she has no idea what to actually tell him... just a thought xP
And like also how all the dangers he mentions are all threats to our lives that we just choose to ignore, that's why i think the song is called sharks and danger cuz sharks are really rare to come across by in a dangerous situation, but truly all his anxiety issues could all make us nervus if we think about them, even if they're unlikely...
Its a great song | Reviewer: DaN
------ About the song To A Friend performed by Alexisonfire
aof is agreat band with amazing music. I watch Degrassi a lot, actually i saw the episode in which it was played, the band isnt a sell out because they alow a show to play one of their songs during a scene which the song fits perfectley. I'm sure that aof had absolutley no intension of selling out. They probabley just felt that they could become more widley known by being played on a popular show such as Degrassi. If you enjoy their music, then do just that enjoy it, and quite calling a good band sell outs because they wanted a way to become more widley known.

------ About the song Burial performed by Alexisonfire
When will this winter end?
the snow's been falling for months
the town all dressed in white
and my skin is burning from the wind
the cold sun in disguise
an assault from the morning light
my burial, I can't succeed
frozen and paralyzed
Oh winter! x8
Oooh!
Oh winter! x8
Oooh!
The Euphio Question | Reviewer: Dale
------ About the song Happiness By The Kilowatt performed by Alexisonfire
This song is nothing to do with relationships or the pitfalls of materialism or any of the below suggestions. Although I agree, you could read it that way if you were unaware of it's true meaning.
However, if you read the short story by Kurt Vonnegut, titled "The Euphio Question" (it is featured in the collection of his short stories called 'welcome to the monkey house') There is no doubt that this song is about that story. The central lines "in a hail of sparks and a tangle of wires" and the title itself "happiness by the kilowatt" are directly taken from this story.
I'm not gonna explain the plot, look it up yrself if you're interested.
Alexisonfire never cease to amaze me with the wide variety of things they get their inspiration and lyrics from. This is another beautifully crafted song with some very interesting lyrics.
Woah. | Reviewer: Javier
------ About the song To A Friend performed by Alexisonfire
Great song. Great band.
Seems like aof always seems to make an awesome song on every album.
First song i ever heard from aof was Accidents, (and i have to thank my cousin for showing me that song.) Though, the first song that i actually really liked had to be Little girls pointing and laughing.
To see how far aof has gone from songs like that to now is pretty amazing. Aof seems to never get old.
Oh, and to comment on the whole degrassi thing. all i can say to the people who've became fans from that is, Great, you like aof now. but please, keep degrassi out of the lyrics.

------ About the song Adelleda performed by Alexisonfire
those three words are most likely "I llove you" not "This isnt working" but yees i agree this song is about breaking up with aa girl where she doesn't love you anymore. "sorry i didnt hear you, I was busy dying in the corner. Thhose three words destroyed every inch of me and you keep speaking." the fact that she once loved him but doenst anymore destroyed him, however she moved on. He thought he could keep going along with a long distance relationship (through phone/computer communication)long enough and things would work out fine. she had the coldest eyes but the softest touch sums up his final feelings for her.
Anything But Degrassi | Reviewer: lexii
------ About the song To A Friend performed by Alexisonfire
i've seen degrassi before, i've actually seen the episode when they played the song on it, i think alexisonfire sold out when they played the song on the t.v. show. they could have and should have used it better.
Macbeth | Reviewer: Nicole
------ About the song No Transitory performed by Alexisonfire
This is a great song to listen to when reading Macbeth. They captured the awesomeness of Macbeth and managed to make a really cool song. The knife scene (And this knife! This knife!) and Macbeth's 'Tomorrow' soliloquy are my favorite parts from the play which makes this song even more awesome.
I think this cause is lost (Lady Macbeth starts feeling guilty)
I wish that I could sleep (Macbeth hath murdered sleep)
respone to "feelings" | Reviewer: andrea
------ About the song Where No One Knows performed by Alexisonfire
Something like that. I think it's more like, people these days are so obsessive about feelings. But no matter what anyone does, it doesn't quite work; no one's ever quite happe enough. And sometimes it's just about feeling good.
Also, of course, it's about how he refuses to love this person.
I love go-karting.. | Reviewer: N
------ About the song Hey, It's Your Funeral Mama performed by Alexisonfire
hahahah. i love how these guys wrote a kick-ass song about go-karting. only alexisonfire.. :) and i'll be honest, in the last chorus, it really sounds like you drive red (you drive red) and i'll drive black (what the fuck!).. it seems that way to me.
so, i've read through these comments and i think everyones got the basic idea, however i think that the title "happiness by the kilowatt" and the lines " In a hail of sparks
And a tangle of wires
Everything went wrong "
must link up somehow, there is a fair bit of talk about electricity, wether this is commenting on how a relationship flows like electricity, but at the same time can be incredibly dangerous, or wether it means electric goods as in phones, computers ect setting an example of how to be happy i'm unsure of
one think i do know is that this song is really touching

------ About the song To A Friend performed by Alexisonfire
Alexisonfire is an amazing band, and i`m pretty sure i am their biggest fan. just because one song was on a TV show doesn't really matter, a lot of bands have been on shows whats the big deal. anyway. they are an amazing band and i hope they stay together for a very long time. and i can't wait for their new album to come out. :)
Gah... Its exactly what happened to me | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Adelleda performed by Alexisonfire
I think this song is about a bad break up and he is reminiscing on the stages of the relationship and how it was so good to start with.
When Dallas is talking about her laughing I think that he is saying that the break up has really effected him but it doesnt seem to have phased the girl at all.
When George says, "Daytime, twilight, pitch black night light" he is talking about how the cycle of relationships always repeats just like the cycle of a day. And maybe when he is talking about hiding behind a crystal screen and blowing kisses i think his girlfriend wouldnt really speak to him much in person and would only really talk through texts - exactly like my ex. And it could be based on high school relationships (like mine) seeing as the album has a lot to do with high school.
The three words that destroyed every inch of Dallas could be, "This isn't working" which is how my relationship ended.
But yeah thats what has happened to me so thats what the song is saying to me. So I can relate to it completely and it has helped me get through this bad break up of mine.
I love Alexisonfire so much, they have really defined the post-hardcore genre with the contrast of George's unique screaming and Dallas' amazing voice.
Breathtaking | Reviewer: Cameron
------ About the song Rough Hands performed by Alexisonfire
The ability to combine both music and words to create a surge of emotion, is a feat that is rarely accomplished in music.
The lyrics in this song are breathtaking, and the blend of music is so perfect that it is probably one of the best songs i've ever heard in my life.
It has such a deep message. And listening to it sends such a rush of emotion through me.
They have other great songs with great blends of instruments and lyrics too. But this is one of my all time favorite songs.
Corrections | Reviewer: Chris
------ About the song Get Fighted performed by Alexisonfire
To the guy who said Emo is short for Emotional, you're dead wrong. Emo is short for Emotive Hardcore, which is a genre that has been dead and buried since the late 90's.
Emo got skewered into being the lable for "emotional teenage angst music." Bands that created the Emo movement have since stated they want nothing to do with the term.
Also. Just throwing in here. Alexisonfire is amazing. They are the closest thing to real Emo we have left.
