AFI present their highly anticipated eighth studio album, 'Crash Love'. Produced by Joe McGrath (Alkaline Trio, Green Day) and Jacknife Lee (U2, Weezer), 'Crash Love' is AFI's most focused, direct and ambitious effort to date.
On standout tracks including "Medicate," "Veronica Sawyer Smokes," "End Transmission," "Beautiful Thieves" and more, Puget, Burgan and Carson's inimitable chemistry shines more brightly than ever, while Havok's lyrics reach beyond his trademark abstract introspection, delving into examination and dissection of celebrity culture from within and without. "Honestly I've never been more proud of an AFI record," said Havok. "We are thrilled to hear it come to life."
Interestingly this album is very much for the fans as it is by them! During recording, AFI were joined in the studio by the winners of AFI's 'Begin Transmission' contest, in which the band members personally went through thousands of fan-made video submissions and chose a handful of entrants to contribute backing vocals to the new album.
