Canadian post-hardcore/screamo band Alexisonfire will be putting out a live album on June 27th. The group have titled that effort, “Live Born & Raised 2022, St Catharines ON“. The featured performances were recorded amid two sets during their July 02nd and 03rd sets at their ‘Born & Raised‘ festival in their hometown of St. Catharines, ON. A performance of “Little Girls Pointing And Laughing” from the set has been shared online in advance.
Vocalist George Pettit commented:
“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.”
