Despite all the territory they’ve covered in their near-thirty tenure, AFI retains an impressively conspicuous identity. It’s the Tim Burton condition in which, despite rejecting the confines of any categorical genre with each new release, they have an innate flair that renders them instantly recognizable. But that’s not to say that they exist outside the realm of reasonable comparison. We scoured the alternative underground to prove that point. And while we can’t promise the recreation of that first magical moment you first heard Sing The Sorrow, we did pluck a handful of new music recommendations from the AFI ethos.

Following the release of mid-Nay’s “Mourning Time,” Future Teens are back with a new single, “Double Down,” featuring a very introspective narrative. Vocalist and guitarist Amy Hoffman says, “I’ve never written songs about my identity before now, despite Future Teens being so integral to me embracing myself as an out, visibly trans man. I grew up in the church in a small city in Missouri where I was ridiculed for not adhering to expectations of girlhood, and other kids’ parents speculated about my gender and sexuality long before I had any idea what those words meant.” Hoffman continues, “I protected… Read more »

A band representative noted, “The band’s rediscovery of ‘Unconditional’ happened in true spontaneous Foo Fighters fashion. The song came up in conversation during rehearsals for the UK tour, and all it took was one run-through. The decision was made instantly to share it with everyone in the same way — live.” Check out the live performance of “Unconditional” below, courtesy of @foofighterslive… Read more »

With anticipation building around the group’s forthcoming album, The Crucible Of Life, The Home Team has returned with their tug-on-your-heartstrings ballad, “Walk This World With Me.” “I personally have a really soft spot for ballads, but to be honest it was kind of a battle deciding whether or not to make one for this album,” vocalist Brian Butcher shares. “The softness isn’t always representative of our sound, but when the idea for this song’s chorus came to me, I was really driven to see it all the way to the end. It is definitely a spiritual successor to Slow Bloom’s… Read more »
