AFI has been featured in the March 2010 issue of Alternative Press’ in the Reader’s Feedback section. One of our readers, Katie, has been kind enough to scan the article for us. You can see a picture of the full page here and a picture of the words here.
As a side note, Rockabilia.com is now selling a Roseland Ballroom Concert Flyer for $12.95. You can buy it here.

If AFI were to record a cover song tomorrow and release it, what song would you want them to cover and why? Keep in mind that it would need to be a song that AFI can pull off well. We’ll take the most popular suggestions and make a poll tonight.
This is the first time Darling, I Want To Destroy You has been played during a show (it has been soundchecked several times). Sacrilege is now the only song on Crash Love, excluding B-sides, that has yet to be played.
This week’s live video edit is Cold Hands from AFI’s October 11 show at Club Zoo in Pittsburgh, PA. To watch the video edit go here. All credit for these amazing edits goes to our writer Alex! Give us your feedback and suggestions for next week’s video in the comments.
AZ Central, an Arizona-based local news site, has posted an interview with Adam. The topics include Crash Love, the fan backlash over not playing old songs live, and drumming in AFI’s early days. Click here to read the article. Here’s an excerpt:
“…a lot of the people that are coming to the shows wanting to hear a certain era of the band, they’re sometimes asking for songs that predate them as people. And that’s not to say that their opinions don’t count. That’s not to say the music hasn’t grabbed them. But we spent 14 years playing those songs on the road and I think we earned the right to move away from them for a little while.”
Danny, Davey’s partner in crime for ZuBoutique, just tweeted: ”Good news: Just saw the list of international retailers for our shoes. Getting your hands on a pair should be easy! I’ll share on Feb. 1st.”
We will keep you updated.
