Alexisonfire: House Of Strombo - Live In Toronto, ON 2019 [DINE ALONE]

Why you'll love it

This LP captures the night Alexisonfire came back: February 15, 2019, in front of a small room of diehard fans at House of Strombo, the same night "Familiar Drugs" arrived as their first new song in nearly a decade. The six songs run from that comeback single to "Pulmonary Archery", "Young Cardinals" and "Happiness By The Kilowatt".

This edition

• Live recording from House of Strombo, Toronto, February 15, 2019
• Six songs spanning the debut through Old Crows / Young Cardinals, plus "Familiar Drugs"
• Dine Alone Records pressing (cat# DAV378)

About the album

George Stroumboulopoulos built House of Strombo as an intimate room for bands he loved, and Alexisonfire filled it with the noise of a reunion. The set opens with "Familiar Drugs", a song still hours old to most of the people in the room, then swings back through the records that made the band a fixture of Canadian post-hardcore.

What comes through is the closeness. George Pettit's screams and Dallas Green's clear tenor sit right on top of you; the crowd sings "This Could Be Anywhere In The World" back at them; and "Happiness By The Kilowatt" closes the night the way it closed so many of their shows. Dine Alone put it out for Record Store Day Black Friday 2025.
