AFI — Crash Love

AFI move even further away from their punk roots on Crash Love, their eighth studio album. Davey Havok and company's days of overt Danzig worship seem very far away when listening to the disc. While albums like Sing The Sorrow and Decemberunderground saw the band beginning to make the transition away from all things dark, there were still punky...

Edgefest 2009 Is Muddy

By Bianca Marcus (CHARTattack) June 22, 2009 3:58 pm

Festivals are great — an entire day of music, hanging out with like-minded people ("You like Metric? I love Metric!! Let's be besties!"), and enjoying the sunshine. Oh wait — scratch that. Sunshine wasn't part of the deal at Edgefest this year. The rain came down all day and transformed Downsview Park into one giant mud puddle. It made...

Punk And Metal Clash At AFI/Dillinger Show

By Shehzaad Jiwani (CHARTattack) June 19, 2006 2:00 pm

I understand that AFI and The Dillinger Escape Plan are old buddies, and I'm all for diverse line-ups, but the effeminate goth-punkers playing with the mighty mathcore quintet seemed like a bad call on both their parts. As odd a pairing as it was, Thursday night's show at the Kool Haus pleased fans of punk, metal and everything in between....

AFI — Decemberunderground

Right from the almost hip-hop beat on the opening track, you know AFI have taken yet another step away from their goth-punk roots. As Davey Havok screams more powerfully than he ever has on "Kill Caustic," it appears the quartet have dropped the gloom and kicked up the anger, making Decemberunderground their most upbeat album to date....

AFI Frontman Joining Green Day Musical

By CHARTattack Staff (CHARTattack) February 11, 2011 2:30 pm

There apparently wasn't enough goth punk in Green Day's American Idiot musical, so the folks responsible for it have called in AFI frontman Davey Havok to fill that void. Havok will play St. Jimmy, the production's main character, beginning March 1. Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong is currently starring in the role, but will leave American...

AFI — "Beautiful Thieves"

By CHARTattack Staff February 4, 2010 12:05 pm

Oh, Davey Havok. Your adopted last name is so fitting. Havok spikes the drinks at a high-class shindig AFI are playing in the video for Crash Love's "Beautiful Thieves," turning everyone into sex maniacs that end up croaking by the end. I blame guitarist Jade Puget for starting that annoying emo-kid side-haircut that hipsters...
