Charlotte Sands has released a cover of AFI’s Miss Murder
Watch the video for Charlotte Sands’ new cover of AFI’s 2006 banger Miss Murder, for the American Psycho comic book series soundtrack.
Listen to AFI's first new music since 2018's The Missing Man EP: the very awesome Twisted Tongues and Escape From Los Angeles.
New AFI is finally here! The band have just shared not one but two new songs: the equally excellent Twisted Tongues and Escape From Los Angeles.
Speaking of the genesis of the tracks, frontman Davey Havok reveals, “As I recall, Twisted Tongues came of the Blood [Album] era and was the first piece of music we explored on the new album. The dreaminess of the music lyrically inspired themes of unforeseen severance. It is a pining song of being set adrift by those who once feigned to share the same anchors.
“Los Angeles, like most of my loves, is imbued with a darkness and radiance," he continues. "Musically, Escape From Los Angeles called for my own vantage to this classic theme of the city's dichotomous allure."

Guitarist Jade Puget adds: "Anyone who knows our catalog knows that no two records really sit together. Some sit a little closer, maybe. We do certain things, just by virtue of who we are, that are consistent, but those things come about organically. Every time we do something, I have to judge it on its own merits. Some fans are going to judge a new album, or a new song, based on what's come before. But as artists, we can't do that, because it would only hinder our creativity."
Both songs can be bought on a new limited-edition 7", which you can pre-order here. Listen to Twisted Tongues and Escape From Los Angeles below:
