@brett linthicum You can't expect them to be playing the same kind of sound from when they were teens/young adults.They'd be playing for the fans' nostalgia at that point.
So turns out in an interview they said they might not be releasing a whole new album with new songs. They would prefer to release songs like they did this track, make it, finish it, stream it. New era, new way to consume music. So don't hold your breathe for the album but i cannot wait for the new music!
@brett linthicum You're not wrong and you're not right. They definitely have softened their approach but they are much more aggressive than any other band of their stature.
@@dynamoproductions5 yeah man! He sings on a lot. Drunks Lovers Sinners and Saints, Keep It On Wax, You Burn First, Accept Crime, Boiled Frogs the list goes on
COG is also good for 3 vocalists, listen to 'real life' its crazy there are 3 bands members and they all sing, best band I have ever seen live as far as quality of sound, then again I was off my face when I seen them...
Me n my sister's went through some tough times back in Ontario and alexisonfire is what kind of brought us together, even if they never read this comment they have had a huge impact on my life. Thank you George petit, Chris Steele, Dallas green, Wade MacNeil, and Jordan Hastings.

I listened a bit to AoF a while back. Getting back into them now as I have been obsessed with C&C. And now AoF is also on constant replay alongside C&C on my Spotify. This song gets into my soul… it’s incredible.
This band was always so underrated and never got the love they deserved. I’ve been listening to this band for almost 20 years and their songs still rock.
Remember finding the first couple albums In a birthday gift box from a family friend , turns out he was a talent scout for EMI music canada. Dude changed my little 10 year old world.
First saw this band with Hondo Maclean at Manchester Roadhouse about 12 years ago, then with The Bled at Leeds Cockpit, then I went to every gig of their UK tour with Rise Against as I met the boys and they were kind enough to put me on the guest list. I haven’t listened to AOF in a good while, and I found this video by chance. What a tune! I can’t wait to hear more from the new album!!! ‘Cool your jets, hot jets!’
brokenlegz I’m pretty sure I’ve read George talking about this song somewhere. I think it’s roughly about how easy it is to slip into old self destructive habits to cope when things are difficult (these vices, drugs, being the things that are familiar) and how oppressive it feels to be aware of them hovering on the edge of your mind - especially in times of struggle. How easy it is for them to find you and drag you down. Could be wrong, but I’m sure I’ve seen that explanation somewhere
i love this band, and that bassist just makes me smile, i mean his faces are freaking priceless. It warms the heart when bands get back together, music can be very fleeting in terms of bands so it;s a good day when they get back together, and it's even better when the song fuckin rocks,
Listened to you boys a lot while growing up just outside of Toronto. Something about your music just reminds me of being back in the city, and what I would consider the sound of the city and the nostalgia that comes with it. Happy I get to see the return of you fellas to Budweiser stage this summer!
Lyrics: Feeling the breeze of change Lethargy rolls over me again Like sap over a midge Is it real or just pretend? It's alive in the dark And it knows where I'm going to be Forever returning again and again Into the house Into the den Elastic stretched and strained I know I could change This shirt is ripped and stained And your pushing familiar drugs again You're pushing it I can't resist I feel you under my skin Pushing familiar drugs again Feeling the turning tides Indifference takes hold again Like mist over the lake Is it real or is it fake? I won't fight the gravity Let the current take me where it please Right down the fucking drain Into my lungs Into my veins Elastic stretched and strained I know I could change This shirt is ripped and stained And you're pushing familiar drugs again You're pushing it I can't resist I feel you under my skin Pushing familiar drugs again You're pushing it I can't resist I feel you under my skin Pushing familiar drugs again You're pushing familiar drugs You're pushing familiar drugs again You keep pushing familiar drugs You keep pushing familiar drugs again and again
I know it aint Toronto....or New York...or California.....But come to Alabama. Or even Atlanta, Georgia. Or even anywhere within 8 hrs of Alabama. I'll be there.
Holy shit. This video is great. I love the cinematography. My fav is the bored lady in the back. It makes it feel so authentic. And then the green lights. Wow.
my dad has always been into hair metal and grunge while my go-tos are hip hop and indie, but whenever we’re in the car together I’ll put on aof and we both love it, great canadian musicians
Been a fan for seven years, alexisonfire's music helped me through a lot of very difficult times in high school and through painful losses of friends. So grateful to be able to look forward to new music and to have been introduced to them in the first place.
This may be true that Dallas and George spoke of styles of music. But they found there muse my friend. Trust me they really did. 😶 Don't allow yourself to wallow because of a bad situation. Solutions seem to be the only way to maintain some kind of sanity.
In Middle School I was a fan of this band, but I used to think their name was Alex is on fire. I always thought it was a terrible name until I learned what it actually is. And I'm so glad to hear new music by them!!!
@@BriddahOnFire you're correct. It is pronounced ALEXIS- (like the name) ON-FIRE... (al-ex-iss On-Fire). I was just saying that when I was young, I said their name incorrectly.
@@goatitisful That's funny, cause it was the opposite for me. Back then, after a few years of being into that band, I thought I was wrong, like "Wait... it must be Alex is on fire, not Alexis on fire, right??" 😅
Gotta be honest.. wasn’t huge on this song the first time I heard it.. and I think it’s because all I could think to do is compare it to all the previous albums (since it had been a decade since new music) but a couple of months later and this is one of my favorite AOF songs to date. So original. So refreshing and different. Dallas’s updated more soulful style of singing gives the track such a unique but dark twist. This fucking video too. Glad to have you back, boys.
I found out about you guys right before you split. It broke my heart to know I was too late. Knowing you're working on a new album is so damn amazing. I eagerly wait for tour dates and the new album!!!!
This sounds a lot better than when it was first released...that one didn't sound mixed properly. Looking forward to seeing you guys tomorrow in Toronto. I expect Dallas to be exceptionally hype after the Raptors win.
I just discovered you guys on a House of Strombo video, great stuff. You all are going to be tha soundtrack to my quarantine. Hope to see you live soon!
I remember whichever year it was they came to Oklahoma and literally played in a place the size in this video... all I know is it was a great night and thanks for the Crown! (Dallas wasn't there and yall heard me ask for happiness by the kilowatt)
I feel like I'm back in high school again waiting for a new AoF album. Thanks for coming back boys, we missed ya.

ive been waiting wayyyy to long
@brett linthicum thanks for the CLASSIC TH-cam COMMENTS, but who cares what you think? I love this track!
Three vocalists all adding something unique, always loved that about AOF
Chad Cassidy Aren't there just two?
From left to right: Dallas, George and Wade
Dario Rivers Ohhhh I didn't know Wade did vocals too

These guys have the same energy they did 10 years ago. Fucking incredible. Great to have you boys back.
their energy died my friend; it was just transferred

Damn I'm 32. Listening since I was about 14. Aged well like wine.
itaketheSQUARE I can’t listen to their first 2 albums really now But crisis onwards is quality
@@Forestgravy90 lol hell no

Congrats

That dad bod energy makes me smile and feel better about getting older lol

Alexisonfire always has been, and always will be my drug of choice! This news has literally made my year!
Thank you for breathing your fresh air back into the scene. We've missed you lads.
I'm still just as obsessed with AOF as I was when I was a teenager. I'm now 25 with kids and blasting their music 🖤
Same! My daughter loves them!
Thanks for coming back to the scene, I feel Post-hardcore is having a resurgence!

Omg.....How did I miss this coming out....😳😳😳
Loved them forever...Met them in Manc after their gig one year...Quality 😁😁😁
All of the alexis I needed in my life. I missed you guys. This song makes me feel so at home for music. **swooning over george**
So glad to hear this, I love these guys and Dallas green has the most beautiful voice I've ever heard, keep killing it! I love it!
Remember finding the first couple albums In a birthday gift box from a family friend , turns out he was a talent scout for EMI music canada. Dude changed my little 10 year old world.
That synergy between all of em is absolutely incredible.
Getting together with the bois and writing good music the world needs. That's the familiar drug. Thanks for pushing.
as amazing as ever .... AOF you have a very very special place in my heart.
I love yall.
I ride past dine alone offices in Leslieville all the time. I skipped kung fu class to get your autographs once back around 2006.

Wade's beard is slowly approaching his eyes. Impressive.
Lol was thinking the same 😆
Lmao
I wonder if “you’re pushing familiar drugs” is a metaphor for the fans pushing for the old Alexis to come back.
@brett linthicum this IS the old Alexis as Dallas wrote this riff 12 years ago and they've been practising the song all the while
This still seems familiar
brokenlegz I’m pretty sure I’ve read George talking about this song somewhere.

@brett linthicum yeah, fuck these guys for growing up and evolving as musicians..... Seriously, grow the fuck up
@@Canuckfan124 no need to grow up, homie just doesnt like the music and is mad about it haha

Last summer Toronto was the best show with my son seeing them live and they killed it. Best live show ever.
I am so hyped for the new AOF album. This song is amazing and the new tracks are as stellar as this one. Rock on everybody, AOF are back properly.
Dallas is good to hear your voice man you got me through tough times growing up... in school and such..
Listened to you boys a lot while growing up just outside of Toronto. Something about your music just reminds me of being back in the city, and what I would consider the sound of the city and the nostalgia that comes with it. Happy I get to see the return of you fellas to Budweiser stage this summer!
They totally turned into a dad rock / stoner rock band and I can't understate how happy I am.
The moment I heard Dallas chime in with that voice... ::SA-WOON:: Yesss!! :D
and dat scream.. one of my favs.
I’ve grown up with these band and hearing grow musically on every album has been amazing and I’ve loved it all. AOF forever 💚
See you in Toronto! Oh the love!
Good God, this is fucking incredible! I can’t wait for more! Really really digging the stoner rock riffs. Welcome back, dudes!!!!!
I really wasn't feeling this the first time I heard it, but man has it grown on me - absolutely loving it now.
Our favorite dads are back at it again.
Dallas GREEN IS AN ANGEL!❤️❤️
Can't wait till June 15th in TOronto!!!!!! I am fortunate to be able to bring my son and daughter to see AOF again!!! So pumped!!!
These guys still sound awesome definatley the best post hardcore group around very solid band and great songwriting love all there albums!!
Music is the only thing which keeps me going and songs like this are the reason why it works. Good stuff guys
Great music video. Keep it simple. No bullshit performance by the greatest band of all time.
am i dreaming?? makes me feel young again
My youth is slipping away, but now I feel like 16 again. I`ve missed their unique type of music!
Lyrics:
Feeling the breeze of change
Lethargy rolls over me again
Like sap over a midge
Is it real or just pretend?
It's alive in the dark
And it knows where I'm going to be
Forever returning again and again
Into the house
Into the den
Elastic stretched and strained
I know I could change
This shirt is ripped and stained
And your pushing familiar drugs again
You're pushing it
I can't resist
I feel you under my skin
Pushing familiar drugs again
Feeling the turning tides
Indifference takes hold again
Like mist over the lake
Is it real or is it fake?
I won't fight the gravity
Let the current take me where it please
Right down the fucking drain
Into my lungs
Into my veins
Elastic stretched and strained
I know I could change
This shirt is ripped and stained
And you're pushing familiar drugs again
You're pushing it
I can't resist
I feel you under my skin
Pushing familiar drugs again
You're pushing it
I can't resist
I feel you under my skin
Pushing familiar drugs again
You're pushing familiar drugs
You're pushing familiar drugs again
You keep pushing familiar drugs
You keep pushing familiar drugs again and again
Late to the comment party here, but what a killer track! Dallas Green's voice is haunting over top those heavy guitars. Love it.
I know it aint Toronto....or New York...or California.....But come to Alabama. Or even Atlanta, Georgia. Or even anywhere within 8 hrs of Alabama. I'll be there.
Holy shit. This video is great. I love the cinematography. My fav is the bored lady in the back. It makes it feel so authentic. And then the green lights. Wow.
National heros a canadian icon right there! Good job boys!
I’m feeling the stoner rock influences. These dudes have been smoking a ton a weed I bet
Dallas Green sounding like the dude from Goatsnake on this track. Wasn't expecting it.
my dad has always been into hair metal and grunge while my go-tos are hip hop and indie, but whenever we’re in the car together I’ll put on aof and we both love it, great canadian musicians
I've been listening since High School... how the HELL did I miss this release?!?!?! absolute BANGER!
You don't know how much we needed this in our lives. Thank you 🙏🙏🙏❤️
Por fin, reiniciando actividades...
Cuándo por Chile!?😫😢...
POR FAVOR POR LA RECHUCHA!!! NECESITO ESTOOOO!!!!
Been a fan for seven years, alexisonfire's music helped me through a lot of very difficult times in high school and through painful losses of friends. So grateful to be able to look forward to new music and to have been introduced to them in the first place.
Got tickets for a Toronto show in July. My girlfriend and I are pumped!
Same
Went to see these guys yesterday and they put on one hell of a show. I'd highly recommend seeing them if anyone has the opportunity to.
I drive by the DineAlone HQ near ashbridges bay on my bike alot and give the building and its vibes positive vibes with air salutes.
Nice to see that AOF are back, the world needs real music like this more than ever.
Great song! Very cool to see Dallas making Alexisonfire music!
We waited 10 years for this.
Beardless George....and Dallas did say some things about never playing that style again...now they making music again
Fantastic username! Reppin' the hypest punk rock band in the game, Strung Out🤘
This may be true that Dallas and George spoke of styles of music. But they found there muse my friend. Trust me they really did. 😶 Don't allow yourself to wallow because of a bad situation. Solutions seem to be the only way to maintain some kind of sanity.
This video is so Canadian that it puts my small minority Quebec independance doubts right back to sleep
The only frackin band ever ! God damn this is a banger that hasn’t lost an ounce of momentum.
The Alexisonfire recipe still works. This gave me chills, like the first time I heard them. They are indeed pushing familiar drugs again.
Only band of the decade!! Happy New Year!!
This song came out on my birthday in 2019 and it's one of the best birthday gifts ever. I miss 2019. Was a great time to be alive.
It’s been forever since the last video. Delighted you’re all back together again making music. I can’t wait for the next album. The only band ever.

It's one of my new favorite forsure. Just ordered the Vinyl
Still kicking ass after all these years....i love what dallas has done w/ city and i hope both these projects continue
So glad to see them back again! I’ve missed them and their music!
Saw them live pre pandemic. Better than ever.
Is that a Burzum album cover on Dallas' sweater??? lol great song and video anyways, love the direction of the sound the bands taking
I was thinking the same thing but I doubt Varg would release a shirt in pink.
Was looking for this comment! To me it resembles "Hvis lyset tar oss". Not sure though.
It says Parader instead of Burzum but yeah I’m very confused
This video Rocks. Absolutely killing it. So stoked to see this. theonlybandever
I found out about you guys right before you split. It broke my heart to know I was too late. Knowing you're working on a new album is so damn amazing. I eagerly wait for tour dates and the new album!!!!
i was waiting for a new ALEXISONFIRE song and there is a new ALEXISONFIRE song , it is good to hear it, feel it and enjoy it... Thanks guys...
Cool song!Finally you gave us this,waiting for a new album!
Good lord have I missed you lads, hearing Dallas in there just makes me feel all warm inside.
