Austin, Texas has become one of the premiere destinations for bands around the world, as evidenced by the annual South by Southwest event in the spring and the recent success of the Austin City Limits Music Festival in the fall. This year will be no different as the lineup for the annual Austin City Limits Festival has been revealed with Pearl Jam among the headliners.
After a brief period of mystery, AFI's Davey Havok and Jade Puget have confirmed that it is indeed them performing on the newly released music from the band XTRMST. Just last week the group's new EP surfaced online with many speculating that it was the AFI duo behind the works.
In a hangar-like sound studio in Hollywood, California, members of Linkin Park and Thirty Seconds to Mars were on hand Tuesday, March 4 to announce their upcoming North American 'Carnivores' tour (which will also be featuring AFI).
After teasing a Motorhead appearance earlier in the day, the complete Coachella 2014 lineup was revealed late Wednesday night (Jan. 8). This year's event features the reunion of hip-heroes OutKast, alterna-rockers Muse and Grammy winners Arcade Fire headlining the three nights, though there is still plenty of rock to go around.
AFI are in the process of completing their 2013 touring, with just a couple of California stops left in December. But North American fans won't be without the band for very long as AFI will return to the road in early 2014.
The weekly Billboard 200 chart is out, and it finds AFI in the Top 10. The band's latest effort 'Burials' debuts at No. 9. It was also a good week for Motörhead, whose 'Aftershock' debuts at No. 22.
AFI's Davey Havok dropped by our studio recently for an exclusive interview. The singer spoke to us about AFI's new album 'Burials,' which came out Oct. 22, but he also gave us a bit more of his time to participate in a game of 'Wikipedia: Fact or Fiction?'
While their new disc ‘Burials’ won’t make its debut until this fall when it’s officially released on Oct. 22, AFI’s new video for ’17 Crimes’ invokes feelings of the summertime, serving up a perfect anthem for the fleeting season.
AFI have just unveiled the official video for their new single ‘I Hope You Suffer,’ the moody maelstrom of a song that serves as the first single from their upcoming disc ‘Burials,’ due out on Oct. 22.
