AFI “Crash Love,” Tour and More: Fall Children Rejoice!

AFI’s “Crash Love” hits stores September 29th. Produced by Joe McGrath (Alkaline Trio, Green Day) and Jacknife Lee (U2, Weezer), “Crash” Love is AFI’s 8th Studio album, and one rumored to be AFI’s most focused, direct and ambitious effort to date.

Scope the tour dates and hear the first single, “Medicate” on Myspace.

According to frontman Davey Havok, “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.”
