Alexisonfire drive me nuts. Musically I like them, but I can't stand the singer. I like screaming in some music, for me there has to be a good singer in the band somewhere as well usually singing the chorus... However I think the guy from Alexisonfire is a terrible screamer. Go listen to a band like Death by Stereo or Killswitch engage. They are both a little heavier, but the singer can actually scream, and they can both sing. Death by Stereo's new album death for life is awesome (some good songs are entombed we collide and I give my life). Killswitch engage's newest album is also very good (look for a song called rose of sharyn).
Lately I've been listening to calmer stuff. Fans of bands like the pogues should check out the Filthy Thieving *******s. Their new album is pretty damn good and features a guest appearance by spider from the pogues. The FTBs are actually a punk band called the Swingin Utters, just unplugged, more folky, and with more instruments.
