St. Catharines, Ontario post-hardcore outfit Alexisonfire has broken up. Vocalist George Pettit offered a statement on the band's website that suggests that the dissolution was less than amicable, citing a number of issues including Dallas Green's desire to focus on his successful solo project City and Colour as well as the impending departure of Wade MacNeil for another band. MacNeil has been playing with his band Black Lungs and has recently been collaborating with Jay Malinowski of Bedouin Soundclash.
A farewell tour of Canada as well as some special releases to mark the band's 10 year anniversary are in the discussion stages; we'll keep you posted if anything materializes. Alexisonfire released Old Crows / Young Cardinals in 2009 via Vagrant / Dine Alone and followed it up with the Dog's Blood EP in 2010.
