Today, ALEXISONFIRE are excited to announce a new live album, LIVE Born & Raised 2022, St Catharines ON. The LP is a compilation of 17 tracks spanning the band’s award-winning catalogue captured over two unforgettable nights in the summer of 2022 during the band’s hometown, inaugural Born & Raised Festival. The album will be available digitally as of June 27th, here.
The first single from the new LP is a live rendition of “Little Girls Pointing And Laughing,” the very first song ALEXISONFIRE wrote as a band over 22 years ago, notably just down the street from the festival grounds in Montebello Park.
Stream “Little Girls Pointing And Laughing – Live” here.
Fans can also look forward to pre-ordering standard and limited edition vinyl variants here.
Additionally, a special festival colour variant, limited to just 500 copies and hand-signed by the band, will be exclusively available to lucky attendees of this year’s Born & Raised Festival in St. Catharines. Details on each variant and the full tracklist can be found below.
The live album features the beloved track, “Jubella“, from ALEXISONFIRE’s debut self-titled album, released in late 2002. This marks the first time the band has ever performed the song live, making this release a must-have for fans.
Says ALEXISONFIRE’s George Pettit, “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.”
