Alexisonfire & Moneen: The Switcheroo Series (12"EP, 20th anniversary, red with yellow splatter vinyl, Dine Alone exclusive) [DINE ALONE]

Why you'll love it

We were lucky enough to get a few of Dine Alone's own exclusive pressing for the takeover: the red with yellow splatter 12" the label normally keeps for its own store. It's the split where Alexisonfire and Moneen, two of Ontario's best-loved post-hardcore bands, cover each other's songs and add an original each, for anyone who grew up on both.

This edition

• Dine Alone exclusive red with yellow splatter vinyl
• 20th anniversary edition
• 12" EP cut at 45 RPM
• Copies limited

About the EP

The Switcheroo Series was Dine Alone's idea of a party trick: put two friends on one record and make them play each other's songs. Alexisonfire and Moneen had shared stages across Ontario for years, and the 2005 split sounds like the inside joke it was, played at full volume.

Moneen turn "Accidents" into "Accidents Are On Purpose" and "Sharks And Danger" into "Sharks In Danger"; Alexisonfire take on two Moneen songs and close with "Charlie Sheen vs. Henry Rollins", which still turns up in their live sets.
