Alexisonfire - Accidents (Official Video)

‘Accidents’ from the album Watch Out!.
---
Watch Out! is the second album released by post-hardcore band Alexisonfire. It was released on June 8, 2004. The album debuted at #6 on the Canadian Album Charts, selling 6,580 copies in its first week. It was certified Platinum in Canada in April 2007.
---
Hailing from St. Catharines, Alexisonfire rose up out of the Southern Ontario underground in late 2001, to become one of the most successful indie bands in Canada. The band’s success also reached far beyond Canada’s borders. AOF released four hugely successful studio albums, Alexisonfire (2002), Watch Out (2004), Crisis (2006), and Old Crows / Young Cardinals (2009). Crisis debuted at #1 on the Top 200 Soundscan chart (Canada), and Old Crows / Young Cardinals debuted at #2, and charted at #9 on the US Billboard Independent Album chart. Watch Out helped earn the band New Group of the Year at the 2004 JUNO Awards. Their first 3 albums achieved Platinum certification in Canada while Old Crows / Young Cardinals reached Gold certification. The band also topped charts and graced several notable music magazine covers internationally (Kerrang, Blunt, Big Cheese, Canadian Musician, Exclaim! ). AOF’s sold-out 10th Year Anniversary Farewell tour in December 2012 touched down on four continents in 24 days, illustrating how meaningful the band still is to their legion of fans around the world.

I remember listening to this years ago during my times at high school, studying for hours at nights with the hope of becoming a medical doctor one day - it's kind of funny but this video kept me inspired to carry on. Now I'm listening to it and I'm about to finish my MD program and hopefully graduate in just a couple of months

[@jimmygee3219]

banach_xo I’m a Paramedic now and have been for years. This and Thrice would have played a big role into my interest into getting into it, not going to lie

[@jasoncosta8556]

That’s awesome 👏

[@tgsndat3059]

What an achievement and isn’t it amazing how music gets us through by inspiring us or just keeping a cool head on our shoulders. Congrats

[@SkyKid8492]

Listen to this in the ambulance whenever I would have to go to the hospital with my mom when she would relapse rest her soul 🤘🏾🔥🖤😎 I am strong

[@eloski39]

Thank you for all your comments and likes through these years. Right now I'm on duty in the Neurology Ward I do my residency in, nothing's going on so I've decided to look at some old music videos and I'm really surprised that so many of you have reacted to a comment I forgot about :)

[@DanteLikesRock]

this whole album is a Post-Hardcore masterpiece.

[@ScarletBegonias1221]

I'm in school to be a paramedic, I'm currently just finishing up my ambulance practicum and every time we drive to a call with lights and sirens I think of this song/music video and it calms me down. 🚑

I'm sure lmao

My dad was a Paramedic for over 25 years in Toronto, you definitely have a lot ahead of you. Good on you to chose such a noble profession!

[@ScarletBegonias1221]

@@McflowG I was, I actually passed and am now a licensed paramedic. But that's cool.

[@B.McAllister]

I fucking love this video and song. Ironically this was one of the videos that played a lot on MTV in May of 2005.. Watching this on tv in Toronto at Sick Kids Hospital dying of heart failure. I was 16, laughing alone in my bed at this video sometime after midnight. My leed detached from laughing so a nurse came to see if I was okay. She thought I lost my mind until I explained it. Loving that I was laughing rather than being depressed about it. Bands hear these stories all the time but that's the thing about music.. It effects our lives so much, music has saved many. This music is now with me forever as it was the soundtrack to my life at that very moment. Among other songs such as "No Transitory", "Wake the Dead" and "Pulmonary Archery". A few days before that I was drowning on my own blood. This is the reason I am getting an Alexisonfire tattoo. The skullheart would be an amazing piece to represent my struggles and love for life and respect for death.

[@Controldenied0]

Great story man. Glad to hear you made it! Enjoy your life.

[@ericbadder1552]

Shut up auot whinning

[@dannylanzillotta9005]

and I love the theme intro, danny, the vampire slayer. I think it's like buffy, the vampire slayer & dr. dimensionpants & supernoobs. buffy, the vampire slayer was badass, badass intro. don't get me wrong, danny, the vampire slayer has a badass intro, too.

[@dannylanzillotta9005]

sounds kinda similar to buffy, the vampire slayer and danny, the vampire slayer. man! talk about badasses.

[@superunknown2812]

I remember it from the Muchmusic days

[@MetalAllDayAllNight]

I've seen Lamb of God, Megadeth, Trivium, and tons of death metal bands live throughout the years but Alexisonfire is still the best concert I've ever been to.

[@supreme1572]

Veil of Maya best concert I've ever been to. They were opening for Trivium too.

I saw their "farewell" show at Brock University cuz they are from st cat's and the whole show started with the lights coming on, a mist of rain and accidents playing

[@zeidakiss]

God bless the paramedics of this world. It takes a special kind of strength to do that job.

[@Blackjackel1138]

I've never heard of this band before today but I'm checking them out right now. I'm a paramedic and I love how authentically they portray an ALS crew. Makes me feel really happy, and the song is a banger.

[@SuicideSeason4545]

They were pretty famous back then. You should check out city and colour if you want to hear Dallas Green’s beautiful vocals in a calmer setting, the song coming home is really good :)

[@MedalionDS9]

They are/were a canadian post-hardcore band and this was kinda their breakthrough in the mid 2000's

[@JH-qs7ph]

My son, you are welcome! I pass this music on with pride

First festival I've attended in 2 years since the pandemic started. Went to see these guys headline with Sum 41 last night, and it was like all those years just melted away. Hearing 30,000 fans scream out "LET'S REDEFINE" at the tops of their lungs was the exhilaration I've been missing for so long. So glad these guys reunited for another album and tour, and created the kind of show that brought out the young teen in me again.

I've seen Megadeth live, Lamb of God live, Mastodon live, and a bunch of death metal bands, but none of them compare to Alexisonfire live. Singing the gang vocals of this song with the crowd is still my favourite memory ever.

man watching this music video brings me back to the old much music days. Where you would come home from school and watch much music countdown, video on trial or any interviews with the vjs. Good times man.

I cant even listen to City & Colour anymore knowing that Dallas will never write another AOF record again. He's a beautiful singer, and one of Canada's best but at this time the loss of AOF is still fresh and the nostalgia too great.

I was listening to that song back in highscool. Closely made me being a paramedic. I’m actually a 7 years old police officer. Two years ago, I responded to a collision between a young man on a bike and a car. The boy was the brother of a friend pf mine, whos also a paramedic in our place. The collision was to hard, even with everything we did, the boy died a couple days after at the hospital. At least, we got the woman responsible and she did time. This video brings a little peace to that event.
