IMO are INCREDIBLY underrated and deserve a lot more praise.
Thier new album Up In The Attic is actually very very good but sadly has had fuck all exposure(in the Uk at least)
Anyone here a fan?
yea i'm really diggin their new stuff, i remember when they were a small club band back in riverside cool band.
honestly. i think even if they went on to create a masterpiece. nobody would care because theyd be remembered as. "you mean the band who covered the michael jackson song"

I agree with that, I used to be really into them but as Lord Scrotum said, they get fuck all promo in the UK considering their on a major label.
They get fuck all promo?
what the fuck does that even mean?

And in Denmark too. I remember getting fed the fuck up by them.
I don't dig them OI have their album but I don't like it.
ANThology used to be one of my guilty pleasures, but I don't listen to it much anymore. It was pretty damn good though, alot better than I expected it'd be from a band like that.
Whatever other album they came out with though kinda sucked.
Their definetly one of my favorite bands easily in my top 10 also some of the coolest guys i ever met.
I got their new album when it was still called 3rd Draft from the band back in October i think and it's been one of my most listened to albums this past year and i am definetly going to pick it up again on tuesday with the new dvd.
I think it's funny that people always lump AAF in with nu metal considering that they are probably the furthest thing from it. Sure they toured with a lot of nu metal bands but their sound is more of an r&b/jazz combo with some rock and pop thrown in for good measure. They had some metal sounding stuff on their first album "Greatest Hits" but it pretty much ends there.
Why did their bassist leave the band?
definitely a great band. i should pick up their albums some time.
theyäve made like 1 or 2 good songs. wait.... let's say 3.
They look like cartoons and their music its fucking awful

He left? That's good cause he was a fucking twat.
Yeah not a baaad band, but I never really tried to get into them. That later song they released where they were playing on the roof though, pretty tight.

So what does your band look and sound like then......?
I liked them, especially that song 'Movies'. I heard 'These Days' ages ago and thought it was pretty good, I was gonna buy that album from 2003 coz it was on sale for £1.95! But I didn't, because I wouldn't have had enough for Metallicas 'And Justice For All'
Good band though, good to see they are still going. ;D ;D
They were my favourite band when I was 13 and ANThology is still pretty good but they're a bit too pop for my liking now... Greatest Hits is still their best work...
AAF have been through a load of shit in the past 2-3 years. It's awesome a band can surive it, especially with a loss of a member. They had no label after Papa Roach had no choice but to drop them from El Tonal after Dreamworks was closed. With the bus crash as well shit wasn't looking peachy for them. This isn't the best aaf i've heard, but it's still an awesome shot with a new label and a new line up. I await patiently for great upcoming for them. That's my two cents any way.
;D ;D ;D
looking foward to the new album

Well said.
I'm also very happy that AAF has bounced back so gracefully. I love the new album, it's different, but I like it and it only continues to grow on me, I've had Around the Block in my head ALL day. The DVD is great as well, normally calling anything "The Definitive..." is just a kiss of death guranteeing it will suck, but this actually lives up to it. I was very impressed. Lots of male nudity that I didn't need to see though.
bump.
'glow' is such a great song.
