Well, our long journey through the ins and outs of the band AFI is nearing an end. Last night Jeff Cork and I finally saw the band perform live at 1st Avenue in Minneapolis and we recorded a red hot episode immediately after the show. The show was fantastic, and Jeff Cork has now seen the face of God: AFI live. This isn't necessarily the end of the road for this podcast, but it might be a little while before we return with a new episode.

We're back! Things are heating up over in the land of the band AFI.

Jeff Cork and I wanted to record this episode to capture our raw reaction to the album reveal and to the two new songs the band released on their official YouTube channel. So check out the episode below to listen to our genuine first impressions of AFI's new direction... what an exciting time! We're happy to be back!
