The Switcheroo Series

Alexisonfire/Moneen
Dine Alone Records

Alexisonfire/Moneen

The Alexisonfire/Moneen split EP is a 6-song cover album where both bands cover popular songs by the other as well as including a new song from each.

The irony is that the two standouts are Alexis covering ‘Passing Out In America’, and Moneen’s version of ‘Accidents Are On Purpose’, by in large two of the biggest singles for each.

It’s hard to admit at first, but it’s almost more palatable to hear Moneen covering Alexis and vice versa. Moneen’s lyrics seem to carry more weight when George Pettit screams them out, and Alexis more melodic with Moneen focusing on harmony.

The best part is that it forces each band to slow down, and like true fans, convey a personal interpretation of each other’s music. If you’re already a fan, the EP is a must-have for your collection.
