AFI TEAMS UP WITH BUZZNET FOR EXCLUSIVE WEB SERIES “IN TRANSMISSION” | News

TeamIGA — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 14:55:00 GMT

Band Gets Personal in Rare & Intimate in Weekly Docu-Series

Premiering Today, December 10 at 7 PM ET/4 PM PT on AFI.Buzznet.com

LOS ANGELES, CA -- December 10, 2009 – AFI, the enigmatic band whose relationship with their dedicated legions of fans is nothing short of intense, has partnered with Buzznet, the leading social media community for music fans, for In Transmission, a weekly online series that gives a raw and unprecedented look into the making of their 8^th studio album Crash Love as seen through the eyes of each member of the band. The docu-series premieres exclusively on AFI’s official blog on Buzznet today, December 10 at 7pm ET/ 4pm PT.

In Transmission marks the first web series from Buzznet and AFI, and is a rare and comprehensive look at the inner workings of a band that is normally shrouded in mystery. AFI’s latest album Crash Love is an exploration of themes of detachment, obsession, and the culture "crash" our society is currently experiencing. Want to find out everything and anything you ever wanted to know about Crash Love. Who better then AFI to tell you themselves?

Davey Havok, Jade Puget, Hunter Burgan and Adam Carson take a turn in front of the camera exclusively with Buzznet to raise the curtain on their inner-most thoughts, inspirations, and to provide track-by-track commentary on their latest record and what went into creating it.

"In Transmission is AFI behind-the-scenes, on and off the stage,” said Jade Puget. “It's an in-depth document of the creation of Crash Love, where we are now, and where we're headed in the future.”

In Transmission kicks off today, Thursday, December 10, with a new episode debuting every Thursday on AFI.buzznet.com.
