Alexisonfire Announce 'LIVE Born & Raised 2022, St Catharines ON'

06-13-2024

(Atom Splitter) Alexisonfire are excited to announce a new live album, LIVE Born & Raised 2022, St Catharines ON. The LP is a compilation of 17 tracks spanning the band's award-winning catalogue captured over two unforgettable nights in the summer of 2022 during the band's hometown, inaugural Born & Raised Festival. The album will be available digitally on June 27.

The first single from the new LP is a live rendition of "Little Girls Pointing and Laughing," the very first song Alexisonfire wrote as a band over 22 years ago, notably just down the street from the festival grounds in Montebello Park.

Fans can also look forward to pre-ordering Standard and Limited Edition vinyl variants. Additionally, a special Festival colour variant, limited to just 500 copies and hand-signed by the band, will be exclusively available to lucky attendees of this year's Born & Raised Festival in St. Catharines. Details on each variant and the full track listing can be found below.

The live album features the beloved track, "Jubella," from Alexisonfire's debut self-titled album, released in late 2002. This marks the first time the band has ever performed the song live, making this release a must-have for fans.

Says Alexisonfire's George Pettit, "St. Catharines was a perfect breeding ground for young independent bands. There was no shortage of venues where you could play or promote a show. So in the early 2000s, Alexisonfire learned a lot of what we needed to know coming up in St. Catharines. Coming back and playing a massive festival in Montebello Park was not only fun but served as an opportunity to give something back to the city that taught us how to be a band."
