Yeah, our hopes were up too. But it seems like Wade MacNeil may have jumped the gun when he said that Alexisonfire was back together at Riot Fest in Toronto this past weekend.
The band put to rest the idea of a reunion,
“Alexisonfire is officially back” may well be true, but it seems some may be reading more into this than they should. The truth is, nothing has really changed. We all have our own careers and families which require our attention and as far as Alexisonfire is concerned, there are no immediate plans.
What “Alexisonfire is back” does mean is that the 5 of us are back in each other’s lives and are as good friends now as we’ve ever been. If we’re lucky, we’ll see you out there again. Thank you for sharing in the moment with us.
Not the kind of thing you really want to hear. Nonetheless, here’s some footage of them performing at Riot Fest.
