A decade late.

I discovered this rare gem, The Math Sheet Demo's (apparently so titled because funnily enough the EP's were wrapped in old maths sheets) by Alexisonfire. Alexisonfire have forever been one of my favourite bands and can pretty much do no wrong in my eyes (with the exception of doing a split with kings of screeching pyshiatric self harm moneen) and this is no different despite the fact two of three songs are on their debut. There is one 'new'/ten year old song on there: The Philosopical Significance Of Shooting My Sister In The Face: An Essay by James Secord which by the way is probably the best name i've heard for a song in maybe, well a decade. As a song though it sounds pretty much like what i imagine most music coming out of blizzard hit canada sounded like in 2001 but thats not necessarily a bad thing. If anything i'd recommend listening to it to remind yourself how much better they've got and the fact they've been around for a decade. It made me think of sitting in a friends smoke hazed garage trying to think of 18 year olds to buy us a 3 litre bottle of strongbow and professing my undying love for all things metal.
