Details are slim, but Amazon has now listed a new AFI single entitled “I Hope You Suffer,” to be released July 23rd. Click here to see an enlarged version of the artwork and the product details.
The band has been cryptic and secretive about the upcoming album, supposedly due out this September on Republic Records. AFI released their last studio album, Crash Love, back in September 2009.
Not often we hear something from a completely unknown group that absolutely blows us away. Believe us, we listen to a lot of punk-- and news flash: not all of it's good. But 24 Hour Punks, discovered through a lucky click on bandcamp, is incredible. Think fast, intense melodic punk that lands somewhere between hard-hitting 90s skate and Cock Sparrer. It's a powerful concoction for a debut EP.
Even better, there's a story behind it. As the band's name suggests, Why We Fight was written, rehearsed, and recorded in 24 hours. All proceeds go to charity organization AMMF.
We're not kidding! Check out the three song EP and listen to 24 Hour Punks raise the bar here.
Haven’t heard anything off this yet but I’m sure they’re right… I bet I will…
Do you have to pre-order the artwork?
Lol “I hope you suffer” sounds like a step in the right direction. Then again, so did “darling I want to destroy you”
