AFI Gives Crash Love On North American Tour
by Nadya Vlassoff
 After
the September 29 release of AFI’s eighth studio
album, Crash Love, the rock quartet from Ukiah,
California recently announced the latest updates
to the AFI tour schedule, with a majority of stops
along the western side of North America.
Formed in 1991, AFI has evolved to keep ahead of the curve in various transforming genres to mature with a unique blend of alternative rock. Although Davey Havok and Adam Carson remain from the original AFI line-up, the additions of Jade Puget and Hunter Burgan have helped to lift AFI into the mainstream, chart-topping stratosphere.
Fans who have checked out the band's East Coast
dates have been treated night after night with
a mix of old and new songs spanning AFI's massive
eight album catalog. Included as a staple each
night is Crash Love and live-set opener "Torch
Song," which AFI recently released an exclusive
demo of via Google's La La music platform.
Also new from AFI will be a release of a 5
song pack on Rock Band which will be available
11/17. The downloadable addition to the game
will include "Love Like Winter," "The Leaving
Song Pt. II," and Crash Love favorites "Beautiful
Thieves," "End Transmission" and "Medicate."
