AFI released their eighth album, Crash Love this September. It is arguably their most focused, direct and ambitious effort to date. The Los Angeles Times concurred, saying, "Crash Love is AFI's most confident, enjoyable album yet... the NoCal band has grown with accelerating sophistication.” Alternative Press found the disc, “packed with as much exuberance, mystery and drama one can handle… In no uncertain terms, Crash Love is an accomplishment that raises the bar for them as musicians and writers.”

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).
