Those wily rockers A.F.I. have a new album in the can (“Crash Love”), and they are itching to get out on the road to serenade their fans with it. The fall tour will begin in Minneapolis on October 2 then spread across the US until they conclude the fun in Chicago on November 7. Full tour dates are listed below.

“Crash Love” will be released on September 29, and it will serve as the follow-up to their smash hit from 2006 “Decemberunderground.” Those who go ahead and preorder the album on iTunes will be privy to an unreleased demo called “Breathing Towers to Heaven.” Joe McGrath and Jacknife Lee served as producers on “Crash Love.” The band?s first single “Medicate” will find its way to the airwaves and download on the same day 8/25.

The 16-city tour will focus on the clubs and theaters, keeping that more intimate feel with their fans.
