Hello, I briefly touched on this in the chat today, but wanted to touch base here as well. As some of you have noticed, the cover photo for Beggars has been switched out. We thought we had our bases covered, some other legal stuff came up, and with the album leak and the subsequent push of the release dates, we couldn’t wait on the clearances and had to move onto a different photo that we have the proper clearance on. We were really excited about the original photo, as we thought it spoke a lot and fit the vibe of the record, but we are just as excited about this new one. It’s got a different tone to it than the other, and perhaps is a bit more subtle. Plus it’s a really beautiful image.
As for the digital release being different than either two. We had to submit the art/music during the time when we were scrambling about the unforeseen legal issues, and therefore had to go with the bars.
Thanks again to everyone who participated in the chat this afternoon, and a huge thank you to everyone who’s shown their support today and bought the album. It was number one on iTunes for a short while this morning, and has been number two all day. Pretty insane. The support everyone has showed us is very encouraging and actually very humbling. We’re blessed to have such loyal listeners. Cheers everyone. Teppei
AFI Ready CRASH LOVE
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) and DECEMBERUNDERGROUND (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.
