"... I didn’t know how I was going to feel."
After regrouping at the back end of 2015, Canadian post-hardcore treasures Alexisonfire are gearing up for their triumphant return to Australia next week, but vocalist Dallas Green has admitted he didn't know how he'd feel leading up to their first shows.
Green, who has devoted his time to solo project City & Colour in recent years, spoke about the reunion in an interview with News Limited (via The Daily Telegraph).
"I could speak for the other guys to a degree but specifically for me, because I had shifted all my focus to City and Colour, doing this is solely for fun," Green said.
"I felt like a kid again last summer (in 2015) and I didn’t know how I was going to feel. There was a part of me that wondered if I would be about to sing like that again."

After calling it quits in 2012 due to Green’s desire to focus on City & Colour and lead guitarist Wade MacNeil joining UK-founded outfit Gallows, Green says the band are all on the same page ahead of their headlining spot at Victoria’s UNIFY Festival.
"We all have moved on from that initial period of when it was over," Green told News Corp.
"I think the way we are looking at us now is we are very thankful to have an opportunity to still do it when we can and people are excited about that. We appreciate it."
Though the future of Alexisonfire is currently unknown, Green revealed that he plans to release new music by year's end, following on from his 2015 LP, If I Should Go Before You.
"I will have a new record that I need to get out of my brain," he said.
