(Much like DU's "Decemberunderground is a time and a place.")
Davey said Crash Love is "rock baised."Davey,Jade and Hunter have all said Crash Love contains their "favorite lyrics.""Markedly different direction in majority content on record. Traditionally introversion, more personal outlook. Viewpoints still personal. More social commentary, what's going on in culture, decline of art and substance, allure of what's going on in culture and affecting both people who aspire to that, are involved with it, and are involved in the cult of celebrities. Sympathetic point of view from one side, less sympathetic from other side. In some moments you see more traditional lyrical styles."-Davey.And others* who are singing on the record are: "Nick 13, Dan Under, Ben Grey and four other guys that are in a band that goes by three letters that stand for A Fire Inside.""The songs, for me, seem a little bit more refined and defined—a bit more straightforward," AFI frontman Davey Havok says of his groups first album in three years. "Theyre not punk rock songs like from one of our early-90s records, but theres more rock-leaning on this album." Havok says a song like "OK, I Feel Better Now" is indicative of where AFIs head is at, in that it morphed from "a quiet, kind of acoustic thing into a very large arena-rock song." Lyrically, producer David Bottrill helped push Havok to write "more as social commentary from my own personal perspective."Comfirmed Song Names:"Medicate," "Veronica Sawyer Smokes," "End Transmission," "Beautiful Thieves"As previously reported, AFI will release their new album, Crash Love, on September 29th.In addition to the standard album version, there will be a deluxe CD and digital edition and a vinyl version available on the street date.

Details coming soon.The band is reportedly planning a December tour.No covers.7 electronic elements. Davey has stated that the song "Kiss And Control" would "fit" on the Crash Love album."...I am quite fond of the lyrics I've written for it. I feel they are by far, some of the best I've managed.DXH"
