About the album

Dead Tired is where George Pettit puts the ideas too mean for Alexisonfire, and Hornets Of Fall is the band's most ferocious record yet. Guitarist Marco "Sparky" Bressette produced and recorded it at his Deadquarters studio in Hamilton, and the sound is raw and close, twelve songs of hardcore with a rock'n'roll swagger.

"Edge Of Entropy" opens with Pettit watching the world make the wrong choice; "Bad Thoughts", "Dust Storm" and "The Pull" bring in voices from across the Canadian punk family. New Damage put it out on August 14, 2026.

This is the band at their best.
