Alexisonfire release new song ‘Familiar Drugs’

ALEXISONFIRE have released a brand new song!

The song, titled Familiar Drugs, is the brand new song from the band and their first new music for ten years.

The song was produced by their long-time friend Karl Bareham (CITY AND COLOUR) and mixed by Grammy-award winning Jacquire King (Tom Waits, KINGS OF LEON, MODEST MOUSE).

Talking about the new track, vocalist George Pettit explains, “Familiar Drugs is about recognising you need to make a change in your life, being presented with the opportunity to make that change, and then choosing to do the same thing you always do. It’s about something very specific to me but it can be taken literally or interpreted in any number of ways. Most people have something in their lives they can’t quit, substances, unhealthy relationships, lethargy, self righteousness, a job they hate. Familiar Drugs is about choosing comfort over self betterment.”
