AFI - Crash Love
 
Crash Love

Produced by Joe McGrath and Jacknife Lee and two years in the making, CRASH LOVE is possibly 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."

During CRASH LOVE's recording, the members of AFI were joined at Los Angeles' Conway Studios by the winners of the band'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. Honorable Mentions also chosen by the band each received a handmade Valentines Day card by the member of AFI who chose him or her.

CRASH LOVE follows up two consecutive platinum AFI albums, 2006's DECEMBERUNDERGROUND which entered the U.S. chart at #1 and 2003's SING THE SORROW. AFI's discography also includes the full lengths THE ART OF DROWNING (2000), BLACK SAILS IN THE SUNSET (1999), SHUT YOUR MOUTH & OPEN YOUR EYES (1997), VERY PROUD OF YA (1996) and ANSWER THAT AND STAY FASHIONABLE (1995).

"Medicate" Video

The Bay Area quartet AFI, who recently released their eighth studio album Crash Love, has just made the video for their single "Medicate" available for free on iTunes. The performance heavy video was directed by Paul Minor who shot in the video in color and changed it to black and white in post production. Once all color was removed, gold was pumped into the video shot by shot creating a glossy, post modern vibe. Fans can download the video for free for one week only on iTunes by visiting http://bit.ly/medicate_video.
