"Young Cardinals" was the first single from Old Crows / Young Cardinals, Alexisonfire's fourth album, and it trickled out in stages: radio got it on April 20, 2009, imeem streamed it two days later, the band's MySpace page had it by April 24, and the official release followed on May 12. The whole band shares the writing credit, and it came out through Dine Alone and Vagrant, post-hardcore with its sleeves rolled up.
They shot the video on May 2 aboard the Maid of the Mist at Niagara Falls, and it premiered on MOD on May 15. The song found a second audience through games too: it was a download for Guitar Hero World Tour and turned up in EA Sports NHL 10.
