Crash Love by AFI
Crash Love is an album by AFI, released in 2009. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 23 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Medicate”, on 23 lists with a best position of #10.
Crash Love, AFI's eighth album, landed on Interscope on September 29, 2009, after two years of writing and recording squeezed around a pile of side projects. Davey Havok and Jade Puget had been making electronic music as Blaqk Audio, Hunter Burgan launched Hunter Revenge and for a while revived his old band the Force, Havok launched a fashion line and Puget produced and remixed other acts. Joe McGrath and Jacknife Lee produced, and the lineup was the one that had held since 1998, with Adam Carson on drums.
The fans got a piece of it, too: a contest called Begin Transmission invited homemade videos, the band sifted through thousands of entries, and five winners ended up singing backing vocals. The sound moves further from their hardcore roots, all bright, sweeping guitars and big, clean choruses, with Havok crooning more than he screams. "Medicate" is the sleek, hooky single with a dark heart under the shine.
