VANS WARPED TOUR SUMMER CONTEST UP ON WARPEDTOUR.COM
The St. Catharines, Ontario-based five-piece–DALLAS GREEN (vocalist/guitarist), JORDAN HASTINGS (drummer), WADE MACNEIL (guitarist/vocalist), GEORGE PETTIT (vocalist) and CHRIS STEELE (bassist)–recently shot a video for their powerful first single “Young Cardinals.” The clip, shot on location at Niagara Falls–directly in the band’s Southern Ontario stomping ground–features the band performing live onboard the famous “Maid In The Mist” tour boat. The band teamed with director Marc Ricciardelli and shot the video a close distance from the powerful Falls. Check out the video here: http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=57414819. In addition, look for the band to debut the new song “No Rest” today via their MySpace page: www.myspace.com/alexisonfire.
In anticipation for their performances on the Vans Warped Tour 2009 all summer long, ALEXISONFIRE has partnered with the Vans Warped Tour for a contest offering one lucky fan a pair of tickets to the Vans Warped Tour this summer in addition to the entire ALEXISONFIRE catalog including the group’s forthcoming album OLD CROWS / YOUNG CARDINALS. To enter the ALEXISONFIRE Vans Warped Tour contest, visit: http://vagrant.com/AOF/warpedcontest/.
“Alexisonfire’s Old Crows/Young Cardinals marks a major policy shift… …Pettit has traded his trademark shrieking for a gargling-with-gravel punk attack. It sounds like all those summers hanging at the cottage with Lemmy Kilmister and Lars Frederiksen finally made him realize there’s more than one way to blow out your vocal cords. That makes Old Crows/Young Cardinals a welcome reinvention, no matter how much you loved to shred your larynx by singing along to ‘Pulmonary Archery.’ “
