AFI

Oh to be 17 again! AFI reflect on the days of youth with their new video for '17 Crimes,' which features four teens happening upon a house that's under construction and making it the home for their adventures.

It's been a productive summer for AFI, thanks to the release of their first single 'I Hope You Suffer' from their upcoming album 'Burials.' Now the band are streaming the infectiously catchy track '17 Crimes' on YouTube. Expect the new cut to get tons of play, as it's also one of the tunes featured on 'The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones' soundtrack.

AFI revel in the darkness in their video for 'I Hope You Suffer,' the first single from 'Burials,' which drops Oct. 22. Would you expect anything less from these darker-side-of-life rockers, especially infinitely stylish frontman Davey Havok, who is unabashedly the star of this clip?

Upon first listen, it's fairly clear that AFI's new single 'I Hope You Suffer' is coming from a pretty dark place. With the band's new lyric video for the track, the visual just cinches it.

Fans have patiently waited, scoured over every one of AFI's cryptic videos and blocked out the fall for the return of the band. Now the group is rewarding their fans by finally unleashing the details of their new album and booking a full-scale fall 2013 North American tour.

After several months of teasing with cryptic video clips, we're not getting our first taste of new AFI music. Davey Havok and the boys have been holed up in the studio working on the follow-up to 'Crash Love' and their first new song off the upcoming disc is titled 'I Hope You Suffer.'

It's been a few years since we last heard from AFI, but the veteran rockers are ready to roll once again. The band has been in the studio over the last few months and they're currently putting the final touches on their ninth studio album. Even better news for fans is that after completing their most recent record deal, the band has found a new home for their upcoming release -- Republic Records.

The record was issued a Platinum certification from the RIAA. That means the album, which featured the hit single 'Miss Murder,' has sold over one million units. The disc was also notable for generating the radio single 'Love Like Winter,' as well as such standout cuts as 'The Missing Frame' and 'Summer Shudder...

"Due to the world I've been part of in creating art for so many years, I feel really connected to pop culture and what younger people are talking about. Being a musician has actually surrounded and immersed me in pop culture and youth culture from a very young age ...

Davey Havok is one busy dude. Not only does he front influential punk group AFI and synth-poppers Blaqk Audio, he's also an actor and fashion designer. If that weren't already enough, next month, Havok will also add "author" to his growing resume...
