Alexisonfire is No More

Having originally formed back in 2001, Canadian post-hardcore five-piece Alexisonfire has now officially decided to call it a day.

With the five members of Alexisonfire now going their separate ways; Dallas Green will now focus his full attention on City And Colour whilst Wade MacNeil has been linked with replacing Frank Carter as the new lead vocalist of Gallows.

Feeling ever so slightly nostalgiac, I’d like to end this post with a live recording of Alexisonfire performing ‘44. Caliber Love Letter‘ from 2002s self-titled studio release, the first track I ever heard from the band nearly nine years back now.

Blink-182′s Up All Night Unveiled

Blink-182 has officially unveiled its first new track for years as ‘Up All Night‘ has finally hit the internet.

Sounding like a mix of hiatus period projects +44 and Angels and Airwaves, the new Blink-182 sound is most definitely different to what the band was producing in the past, progression is clearly key here however, and the band certainly can’t be accused of having stood still.

Not everyone may entirely appreciate the band’s new change of direction, having listened to the track upwards of about 15 times already however, this track has most certainly been a hit here at Alt-UK. The first listen didn’t entirely grab me, with repeated listens came increased enjoyment however, and I now feel that Blink-182 has once again produced the goods and come up with an absolutely incredible new single.

What do you think of the new Blink-182 sound?
