“Accidents” by Alexisonfire
From the album “Watch Out!” (2004)
“Accidents” by Alexisonfire appears on 2 radio countdowns from 1 station between 2005 and 2010. It was first released in 2004 on the album “Watch Out!”. Its best result is #89 on the CFNY Top 102 Songs of 2005. In the combined RockLists rankings it is the #763 alternative song of 2005.
"Accidents" comes off Watch Out!, the 2004 second album from Canadian post-hardcore outfit Alexisonfire, and like everything on that record it was made on the band's own terms. Their self-titled debut had already turned them into MuchMusic regulars, and the advice for the follow-up was to hire a big-name producer and book a big studio. They passed.
Instead they set up at Julius Butty's home studio near Hamilton, Ontario, and produced the album with him; on "Accidents" Butty also handled the engineering and the mix, and the writing credit goes to the whole band. What comes out is a song that sounds like a band in a small room, trusting its own nerve over anybody's polish.
