Alexisonfire is not how punk used to be, and I have a hard time even putting it along side the kind of punk that was coming out in the late 90's, early 00's.

Punk was my mainstay for years, and when I look at Alexisonfire, I simply can't imagine that people would call them punk in any regard.
Yeah but if you're like me you get bored of all that lightning fast three chord stuff.

When I listened to The Shape Of Punk To Come by Refused it was a huge eye-opener for me, it showed me that punk was not all about just being simple, snotty and fast, it was all about having a certain vibe or energy, and that's why my view of punk rock is so broad. Alexisonfire certainly don't sound like a very traditional punk band but that never stopped Fugazi.
