Alexisonfire are currently working on a new EP, dubbed “Dog’s Blood”, tentatively set for release later this year.
Guitarist Dallas Green tells Spinner.com:
“They’re completely different-sounding songs and would probably never make it onto a [full-length] record. That’s what EP’s are for though, completely miscellaneous stuff.”
Alexisonfire have confirmed a handful of festival dates in Germany this summer. Dates are as follows:
Jun 26 Münster, GER @ Vainstream Rock Fest
Jul 02 Wiesbaden, GER @ Vainstream Beast Fest at Schlachthof
Jul 03 Bonn, GER @ Rheinkultur
Jul 09 St. Wendel (Saar), GER @ Rock Am Bach
An Olympics concert in Vancouver featuring Alexisonfire was shut down Tuesday after a surging crowd caused a section of the barricade near the stage to collapse, reports the Vancouver Sun.
Twenty people were treated on site; nine of them were taken to hospital for minor injuries.
“We always take great care in the safety of our fans and are saddened that this happened,” comments the band. “We are sincerely sorry that people were injured. We want to thank the security team, paramedics and police for their quick reaction. We especially want to thank our fans for cooperating and not making a bad situation worse.”
A video from the show can be seen below.
