Davey Havok, Jade Puget, Hunter Burgan and Adam Carson, collectively known as AFI, will release their eighth studio album, CRASH LOVE, September 29th on DGC/Interscope Records. Produced by Joe McGrath (Alkaline Trio, Green Day) and Jacknife Lee (U2, Weezer), CRASH LOVE is possibly AFI's most focused, direct and ambitious effort to date. "I am so proud of this record. I really believe it's the best AFI record. It honestly feels like we've made our first truly timeless record. We didn't set out to do that--you can't set out to do something like that--but it definitely feels like that's what we've achieved: created the album by which we'll be remembered," expressed front man Havok. With an album full of standout tracks including "Medicate," "Veronica Sawyer Smokes," "End Transmission," "Beautiful Thieves" and more AFI is poised to do just that, be remembered.

CRASH LOVE, the follow up to platinum albums Sing The Sorrow (2003) andDECEMBERUNDERGROUND (2006), will hit stores September 29th while the first taste of single "Medicate" lands on airwaves and the Internet on August 25th. "Medicate" will be made available for sale digitally on 8/25 and CRASH LOVE will also be available for pre-order on the same day at iTunes. Fans who pre-order the album from iTunes will also receive the exclusive bonus track, "Breathing Towers to Heaven," an unreleased demo from the CRASH LOVE sessions.

In support of the forthcoming album AFI will head out on the road, the band's second home, beginning this October in the United States.

AFI TALKS ABOUT CRASH LOVE

"Crash Love is certainly not a concept album or rock opera by any stretch, but the songs are generally connected by a greater theme... The album title itself can be construed as a command, as a destructive kind of love, or as a desire for a relationship that's heading inevitably toward disaster or flameout. The lyrics of some songs trace an arc from adoration to the desire to tear down the object of affection. These songs are written from perspectives both sympathetic and critical, as well from both the inside the relationship and outside."--Davey Havok

Crash Love, AFI's eighth full length studio album, due out September 29 on DGC/Interscope, is indeed informed not only by the ever-evolving chemistry between the musicians in the band but also by the members' personal lives and perhaps most of all by the always intense relationship between AFI and its fans. The latter has intensified considerably over the most recent of AFI's 18 years as a band, with 2006's decemberunderground entering the chart at #1 with first week sales of nearly 200,000 and subsequent sold out shows at the Long Beach Arena and Bill Graham Civic as well as appearances on Saturday Night Live and at Live Earth--not to mention 2003's Sing The Sorrow going platinum. These experiences were bound to have an impact on four kids from Ukiah, California who formed a rudimentary punk band in 1991 with aspirations of playing in the SF Bay Area and possibly releasing a few singles and an LP or two.

"The record is really more about how the great attraction to inappropriately shared intimacies, carefully constructed personas, and the loss of a sense of self can affect an entire world," Havok explains. "As well as how this loss of self is sought after rather than resisted... With today's media, we have such quick and pervasive access to the trivia of anyone's lives. Everything is intensified and indulged, this desire and ability to know everything you possibly can about anyone, from what thread-count bedsheets they sleep in to whether or not they believe in ghosts."

While Crash Love is the first AFI record to feature such prevalent sociopolitical and observational perspectives, the darkly personal AFI lyrical strain is distinctly present on standout tracks like "Medicate" and its stark portrait of a user/enabler relationship, as well as throughout the ill fated death ride scenario of "End Transmission." Elsewhere, the newer approach shines on the self-explanatory "Darling I Want To Destroy You," "Veronica Sawyer Smokes" with couples Jade Puget's Smiths-esque guitar signatures with a tale of heartbreak brought on by disappointment with a teen idol, "Beautiful Thieves" with its privileged characters whose actions carry no consequences, and "Too Shy To Scream" which sets yearning, distanced adorations against the backdrop of a drumline-inspired shuffle propelled by Hunter Burgan's bass and Adam Carson's drumming.

Crash Love, it has to be said, features AFI's Puget, Burgan and Carson playing at their most focused and direct. Where Sing The Sorrow and decemberunderground saw the band's compositions increasingly steeped in atmospherics that created a moody-heavy realm that often threatened to engulf the songs, Crash Love is, according to Carson, "the sound of the four of us playing in the same room. It's by no means stripped down but you really hear the band. Sing The Sorrow--and to certain extent decemberunderground--gave us our first experience with big budget recording, which led to some really dense arrangements, electronics, overdubs and so on. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but this time we came in with 14 songs we were playing really well and wanted to capture that energy."

Having entered the studio with fully formed and woodshedded songs, Puget and Burgan were freed to come up with novel approaches to each of their instruments--reducing their dependence on strings, keys and other embellishments both organic and electronic. Following a writing process that Puget recalls taking "the better part of a year," the band convened in late 2008 with producers Joe McGrath and Jacknife Lee to begin work in earnest on what would become Crash Love. "We don't jam," Puget explains. "But we had the material so completely formed by the time we began recording that we were able to do things more on the fly this time, to concentrate on sounds as well as performance, to contribute anything that worked, that made a sound that was interesting. So we ended up with sort of a 'Shabby Chic' recording aesthetic: The sounds we came up with separately could be really rough and abrasive but assembled together they created an end result that was really beautiful."

Carson adds, "Personally I'm more interested in the way AC/DC sounds big: Tones that are really big but don't necessarily need a stadium, that sound just as big in an 800 capacity club."

Carson speaks from experience. Having co-founded AFI with Havok in 1991, he's seen his share of clubs that size and considerably smaller.

Within a year of forming, the original AFI lineup pressed up about 200 copies of the split 7-inch Dork with fellow Ukiah High students Loose Change (of which future AFI guitarist Puget was a member). A smattering of singles, EPs and compilation tracks followed, as did the early AFI albums Answer That And Stay Fashionable (Wingnut, 1995) and Very Proud of Ya (Nitro, 1996), all showcasing a youthfully exuberant, often sophomoric East Bay hardcore punk style that began to cultivate a following as the band hit the road, playing virtually anywhere in the world that would have them.

The first hints of AFI's more diverse and mature current direction would appear on the band's third album and first to feature Burgan on bass, Shut Your Mouth And Open Your Eyes (Nitro, 1997) and the subsequent A Fire Inside EP (Adeline, 1998). It would be one more year, however, until the present AFI lineup and sound would truly coalesce with the addition of guitarist Puget and the release of fourth album Black Sails In The Sunset and the All Hallows EP (both Nitro, 1999). Another year later, fifth album The Art of Drowning (Nitro, 2000) would provide a breakthrough, as the fully realized and unmistakable AFI sound already having built a following in the hundreds of thousands, would receive its first taste of mainstream exposure as that record's "Days Of The Phoenix" found its way onto modern rock playlists.

With sixth album Sing The Sorrow (Dreamworks, 2003), AFI made an exceedingly ambitious leap forward, enlisting co-producers the late Jerry Finn and Butch Vig and expanding their musical palette in all directions: First single "Girl's Not Grey" represented the band's most infectious "pop" moment up to that point and became a bona fide hit, while live favorite "Death Of Seasons" incorporated pounding industrial rhythms and mournful choruses before dissolving into a cacophony of screaming anguish. Elsewhere on the record, "Silver And Cold" provided bittersweet balladic verses that exploded into an irresistible chorus, while "Leaving Song Part 2" and "Dancing Through Sunday" showed the familiar AFI chant-along choruses to be as fierce and frantic as ever, even while couched in increasingly sophisticated musicianship.

As with AFI's previous surges forward, their dedicated legions of fans made the leap with them as new ones joined in droves: Sing The Sorrow sold in excess of one million copies in the U.S. and "Girl's Not Grey" won the 2003 MTV2 Viewers Choice award. Critics joined in for the first time as well, with best of 2003 accolades awarded by the likes of the NEW YORK TIMES, USA TODAY, GUITAR WORLD, SPIN and REVOLVER, as well as from longtime supporters ALTERNATIVE PRESS.

"I was completely in awe then and still am now," Burgan recalls. "It all seemed to have come naturally from our efforts and honestly that's really hard for me to comprehend."

The band was stunned yet again when the sixth AFI album, decemberunderground (Interscope, 2006), released on 6-6-06, stormed into the U.S. album chart at #1, selling 182,000 in its first week and unseating the Dixie Chicks from their multiple week perch atop the charts. Also produced by the late, lamented Finn, decemberunderground yielded the band's biggest anthem to date, "Miss Murder," which went on to be named #7 in ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY's 10 best songs of 2006 and #15 in ROLLING STONE's 100 best songs of the year. Other decemberunderground tracks that instantly assumed fan classic status alongside longtime AFI fan favorites included the frigidly beautiful "Love Like Winter," the hyper aggressive "Kill Caustic," and the infectiously melodic "Summer Shudder" and "The Missing Frame." decemberunderground went on to sell over a million copies, providing AFI with its second consecutive platinum album, as the band sold out venues on the level of California's Long Beach Arena and San Francisco's Bill Graham Civic Center, made its debut appearance on SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE, and played the New Jersey installation of 2007's Live Earth festival.

The members of AFI readily acknowledge the debt their success story owes to their fiercely local following, The Despair Faction. AFI and The Despair Faction have long enjoyed an intimate relationship that goes beyond more conventional fan club perks such as exclusive merchandise and ticket pre-sales to soundcheck parties regularly organized and attended by DF members who come bearing gifts ranging from homemade AFI artwork, clothing and other keepsakes to vegan baked goods for Havok and Burgan. "They're not really a fan club per se," says Puget. "The Despair Faction was conceived to be more interactive than that, to have more of a direct connection with us."

This connection was inverted and intensified with the Begin Transmission experiment that took place during the recording of Crash Love. AFI solicited videos from the band's fans, each giving a glimpse into the life of the video's maker, with the understanding that a handful of entrants would be chosen to contribute backing vocals to the new record. Havok, Carson, Burgan and Puget personally went through over a thousand entries, ultimately choosing six winners who were then notified in person by longtime AFI tour manager Smith Puget and flown to Los Angeles to guest on Crash Love (where they can be heard prominently on the "Flash Flash Car Crash" refrains of "I'm Trying Very Hard To Be Here," for example). Honorable mention runners-up each received handmade Valentine's Day cards from members of AFI.

"We turned the dynamic around," says Burgan, who was voted Top Music Twitterer in this year's Shorty Awards. "We looked into the lives of the fans. Real people doing real things. It was very interesting to see who's out there, what they're feeling and what they're doing with their lives. They already know who we are, so it was good to get to know them for a change."

Carson adds, "The idea was to engage the fans and make them a part of the process. I didn't expect to be so floored by the effort that went into these kids' videos of their lives. It was a great state of the union, so to speak. And we came away from it feeling that much more of a bond with them."

If the quality of Crash Love is any indication, that bond will only continue to intensify. "I am so proud of this record," Havok concludes. "I really believe it's the best AFI record. It honestly feels like we've made our first truly timeless record. We didn't set out to do that--you can't set out to do something like that--but it definitely feels like that's what we've achieved: created the album by which we'll be remembered."

Coming in 2010, Davey Havok finally starts to catch up to bandmate,  Hunter Burgan (who has designed 2 different shoe designs and also holds the position of Vegan Ambassador for Macbeth) with a new Zu Boutique/Macbeth Studio Project collaboration. Based on The Eliot style, his shoe is made from 100% Vegan materials and comes in 4 different options in either black or blue canvas accented with a liberal amount of rhinestones. YES, RHINESTONES! (would you expect less?)

Founded by Blink-182's Tom Delonge and Mark Hoppus with friend Jon Humphrey, of skateboard company Adio Shoes (Hoppus is no longer involved with the company), Macbeth footwear has collaborated with artists such as Frank Iero (My Chemical Romance), Tegan & Sara, Fred Mascherino (The Color Fred), Hunter Burgan (AFI), and Mike Dirnt (Green Day) while also supporting charitable organizations associated with the music scene such as Shirts For A Cure.

So what do you think of Davey's first shoe design? Do you think you can rock sparkly shoes as well as Davey can?

"There aren't any loop-based songs...The focus of this album is guitars. It's a guitar record." - Davey Havok

A preview of "Medicate" and it's cover art, the first single off of AFI's impending album Crash Love has appeared on Amazon.com.

While the song won't be available for purchase until August 25, you can still listen to a high quality 30 second preview.

Deborah Konopnicki at Bombshellzine.com who last week brought us a review of the 5 track press sample of AFI's upcoming album, "Crash Love", has now been able to make a track by track review of a promo of THE ENTIRE ALBUM!

An excerpt from her review:

"AFI’s ‘Tweet to reveal’ adventure gave us a partial insight into “I Am Trying Very Hard To Be Here”. A video clip on their official website features the five “Begin Transmission” contest winners practicing the backing vocals for the chorus with the band. The song starts with what I can only describe as a ‘dirty rock’ riff that really sets the tone for this moody number. The chorus etches itself in your mind with the chanting from the video, “Flash flash, car crash! We’re not fixtures, Quick now, quick! Take our pictures. “The album’s theme could suggest this is a song aimed at the paparazzi, and with one incident becoming rather obvious, the death of Princess Diana. The guitar really stands out on this track. It gives it a fantastic bluesy/rock vibe that AFI have never really toyed with before. I can really see most AFI fans latching onto this one and adoring it."

"AFI fans often exclaim that they wished ‘Decemberunderground’ would have been ‘Sing The Sorrow part 2’. This is much closer to where they should have taken off in 2003. The tracks are powerful, emotional, passionate and most importantly guaranteed to get you excited about AFI again."

From SPIN.com - "Les Paul, famed jazz virtuoso and inventor of Gibson's popular guitar series, died Thursday in White Plains, NY, of compilations from pneumonia, according to CNN. He was 94.

Born Lester William Polfuss on June 9, 1915, in Waukesha, WI, Paul is most famous for his influential guitar playing and innovations in recording and instrument technology, which laid the ground work for rock'n'roll. Never satisfied with his instrument, Paul experimented with different designs, and in the 1930s crafted one the world's first solid body electric guitars from a log. The design was bought and refined by Gibson guitars in 1952 and dubbed the Les Paul -- an electric instrument emblematic of the rock sound that has been played by many musicians, including Jimmy Page, Neil Young, Slash, and Billie Jo Armstrong.

"Suddenly, it was recognized that power was a very important part of music,"Paul said of his guitar's effect on music. "To have the dynamics, to have the way of expressing yourself beyond the normal limits of an unamplified instrument, was incredible."

Paul was also celebrated for his inventions in multi-track recording, which allowed different musicians to layer tracks in the studio. This technology would change the face of music recording forever and seal Paul a place in the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 2005."...READ MORE

CNN reports other famous guitarists paying tribute to Paul - "Les Paul was truly a 'one of a kind.' We owe many of his inventions that made the rock 'n roll sound of today to him, and he was the founding father of modern music," B.B. King said in a statement. "This is a huge loss to the music community and the world. I am honored to have known him."

Joe Satriani said in a statement: "Les Paul set a standard for musicianship and innovation that remains unsurpassed. He was the original guitar hero and the kindest of souls. Last October I joined him onstage at the Iridium club in [New York], and he was still shredding. He was and still is an inspiration to us all."

In a statement, Slash said, "Les Paul was a shining example of how full one's life can be; he was so vibrant and full of positive energy."

When I was a little kid, I wanted to grow up to be Brian May. I started off playing guitar when I was around 7, and one year my dad (who I only saw once a year or so) sent me this guitar for Christmas. He passed away some time after that while I was cut off from him during family strife due to my parents divorce, and I never got a chance to thank him for it. It is absolutely my most cherished possession. I will never part with it, and if the house burns, the guitar gets out first.

Deborah Konopnicki at Bombshellzine reviews 5 tracks from AFI's upcoming album at:

THE FOCUS ON :: ::: AFI ::: CRASH LOVE

"Eighteen years ago, four skateboarding teenagers from Ukiah, California decided to start a band. The boy elected to front the band was shy, scrawny and wore over sized misfits tshirts. Their first songs were basic, lacking any real structure and written about mini trucks, cereal and sex changes. 

This September, they will release their eighth studio album, “Crash Love” over three years after the chart topping “Decemberunderground”. In true AFI style, there has been plenty of secrecy surrounding the release of this highly anticipated album. After a few weeks of teasing fans via Twitter, the track list and cover art was revealed, gearing up to the release of the biggest CD of their career.

I was lucky enough to get a partial insight into the masterpiece that AFI are about to unleash. Like all of their work, this is nothing like their previous release. For me, this picks up where “Sing The Sorrow” left off".... (READ MORE)

Received on Youtube after I complained about the crashlove.com site reposted my and others copyrighted AFI photos (many of which were taken off of Buzznet)... I had earlier worked things out with the site Admin, Jason, in private messages, and he was nothing but helpful, courteous and apologetic. I explained that part of my reaction was due to issues I had with one of the other people on the site

"And sorry about the DIAF. I have issues with Pablo dating back to his video collecting/posting other people's footage without credit/permission on the old AFI series site and seeing a lot of unautorized photos reposted on a site he works on spelled bad things to me. :"

who pretty much illustrated EXACTLY why I dislike him by sending me this on Youtube after Jason presumably relayed that to him.


"TheSecretNinja337
Well hello there!
Hey there whatsyername,

It's really fulfilling you're still pretty butthurt about me. Come on, get over it.

I find it very hilarious that you're bitching about your pictures being uploaded without your permission, when YOU uploaded rips of mine without my permission, and I asked you to remove them. You replied in a very dickheadish way. Ripping is way harder than hitting a camera button, y'know.

You recently bitched about me on the OMB, that I don't credit the people who record the videos and I rip them without their permission. I find it funny, because you have THREE AFI videos uploaded, and no, you do not credit or even have permission from the people who recorded them, and you don't credit the people who spent their time to rip them (even though some of them are watermarked, like your pictures). So don't bitch I don't do it, cause you don't do it.

Just so you know, I do not credit the people who record videos because most of them are fucking 10 years old, and I never received the info. Secondly, I need no permission as the person who recorded them did NOT have the permission to record them in the first place, hence the name "BOOTLEGS", stupid bitch.

Also, you should stop caring about people infridging other photographer's copyrights. You're not a fucking lawyer. DIAF.

tl;dr - your pictures suck."

I especially love the "your pictures suck" at the end. 

And this is why I usually just send a site's webserver a DMCA takedown notice and don't bother contacting people involved with fan sites.

For the record, I've NEVER been contacted by Pablo about reposting "his" videos (I'm 100% sure I know who he's referring to, and it isn't me. She's blogged about his behavior multiple times on her Buzznet, tho). He contacted me twice trying to get copies of videos from AFI in Mexico that someone had let me post on Buzznet and I referred him to her to ask her directly. Instead, he got them off a torrent someone made of her Yutube videos without contacting her. That is the only contact I've ever had with him...and it was a LONG time ago. My opinion is based on seeing him interact with other people.

As rumors circulate, many AFI fans are glued to webcasts of KROQ radio today for a possible premiere of the first single from AFI's upcoming album release Crash Love.

Want to join those waiting for a chance to hear the first radio play of "Medicate"? You can listen to KROQ online by going to http://www.kroq.com and clicking LISTEN LIVE

or via iTunes (look under RADIO: ALTERNATIVE: KROQ)

UPDATE FROM KROQ: "Listen up @kroq AFI fans! We are ALL ACHING to hear the new AFI. I've just been given word that we have less than two weeks!"-Nicole1067

I'm finally setting up to sell prints of my concert shots and artwork on Photoshelter... you can see what I've got up so far here:

http://pa.photoshelter.com/c/miseryxchord/gallery-list

Any requests? I'm re-editing my older shots with my newer software so they'll reproduce better, so if there's anything you've seen me post on Buzznet or my domain site, I can probably make a print out of it.

They currently only have a printing facility in Georgia, USA, but do ship to other countries (they're supposedly looking into additional printers in Europe/UK)

Godkiller - Official Trailer from Halo-8 Entertainment on Vimeo.

(Warning, contains some nudity :)

Godkiller is based on a series of graphic novels and illustrated films created by award-winning filmmaker Matt Pizzolo that tells the stories of human beings caught in the crossfire of warring fallen gods.

"Godkiller takes place in a dark future after economic collapse, after nuclear holy war, and after Earth is colonized by alien races. Tommy and his kid sister Lucy live in an orphanage in one of the few remaining city-states, but Lucy is critically ill and desperately in need of a new heart. Tommy's odyssey to find a new heart for his sister begins when he follows an organ-stealing prostitute named Halfpipe out of the city-state and into the savage border-land known as Outer City. Godkiller mixes unforgiving brutality, quantum physics, conspiracy theory, and secret history for an iconoclastic hero's journey like none before it. This "illustrated film" features intense comic art with mind-bending motion graphics, blood-pumping music, otherworldly sound design, and voice acting by some of the most exciting performers in genre films and youth-culture."

Sound interesting? For a limited time you can read the first issue of "GODKILLER: WALK AMONG US" online

Godkiller stars an impressive voice cast of Danielle Harris (Halloween, H2), Lance Henriksen (Aliens, Pumpkinhead), Justin Pierre (singer of Motion City Soundtrack), Tiffany Shepis (Night of the Demons), Bill Moseley (TCM 2, The Devil's Rejects), Nicki Clyne (Battlestar Gallactica), Katie Nisa (Threat), Lydia Lunch (Hardcore), and Davey Havok (singer of A.F.I.)

The film will have a limited theatrical release starting on September 29, 2009 followed by a DVD.

Filmmaker Matt Pizzolo states, "Davey is so cool as Dragos… this crazy project sure has been blessed with some amazing collaborators. I just saw some of Anna’s newest illustrations for the final scene with Dragos and he looks so cool, I think it’s gonna be pretty damn rad when Davey’s voice is synced up against those illustrations"
