Alexisonfire (pronounced 'alexis-on-fire') is a post-hardcore band from St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada. Their music is characterized by turbulent and explosive dynamics with intricate guitar melodies. Consisting of five friends, they formed in late 2001 as the result of a three-band break up. The band's name is a sort-of homage to an adult entertainer named Alexis Fire, who claimed to be the world's only lactating contortionist stripper.
