Alexisonfire have been releasing brilliant albums for more than twenty years, but it’s been a good thirteen since their last.

That changed recently when they returned with Otherness, a brilliant capture of a band renewed, and still holding the raw power and soaring beauty they always did.

Dallas Green is one of three lead singers in the band, and one of the friendliest fella’s you’ll meet. He also has a hugely broad musical palette, which we learned when I asked him to Take 5.

From Kimbra to Spiritual Cramp to Tropical Fuck Storm, this is a passionate embrace of those who do it differently.

• Kimbra - Settle Down 
• Spiritual Cramp - Spiritual Cramp
• Dead Tired - Vast Lethality
• Zaki Ibrahim - Something in the Water
• Tropical Fuck Storm – You Let My Tyres Down
