Alexisonfire Is Over and Dallas Green Is Okay with That
With an album called The Hurry and the Harm, Dallas “City and Colour” Green is looking back on his previous life in Alexisonfire. From The Huffington Post:
Dallas Green is no longer the elephant in the room. Or, perhaps more accurately, City And Colour isn’t.
“The Hurry And The Harm,” out June 4, is the fourth release for Green under the City And Colour moniker, and the first since his split from Alexisonfire. Green first came to prominence as the singer in the singing/screaming post-hardcore act, and his decision to quit and focus on his increasingly popular acoustic solo work precipitated the group’s break-up in 2011. It was an awkward situation made all the more so by the fact that his departure was kept quiet for a year, first from his own bandmates, then from the public.
Green comes clean about his feelings on the whole affair on the break-up song “Of Space And Time,” the first track leaked from The Hurry And The Harm, singing, “There’s an elephant in the back of the room / and it’s standing in plain view / everyone can see / that it looks just like me.”
