American Assn. of Independent Music

What did you wake up thinking about this morning? The New

deep enough. But I quickly pivoted to the challenges facing the inde-
pendent music community. We do our work in three areas: advocacy,
commerce and member services. We have a great team but it is a small
team, so we have to target where we will have an impact: What can we
do today to make a better environment for the members of our commu-
nity? How can we do a better job communicating to our labels business
partners that the independent label community isnt an afterthought
and worthy of the same deal terms as any other copyright owner? We

The Deal
Super D Buys
Alliance
WHAt: Super D has acquired Alliance Entertainment to create a
multipronged wholesaler with $920 million in revenue, split almost
evenly between CDs and DVDs. The move creates a one-stop/rack-
jobber with about $450 million in music, selling music to indie retail-
ers and chains; racking chains like Borders, Kmart and Meijers with
CDs and DVDs; and supplying CD and DVD fulfllment services to
online stores for retailers like Amazon, Walmart, Target, Best Buy
and hundreds of smaller Web stores. In addition, Super D and Alli-
ance have exclusive independent distribution eforts (Super D, for
instance, had the U.S. exclusive on the frst Civil Wars CD release).
Super D also owns and operates some of the largest online CD and
DVD stores, including DeepDiscount.com and DVDPlanet.com.

WHy: As the physical CD and DVD business slowly evaporates

with the growth of the digital delivery of entertainment content, the
easiestand also the most expensive and riskiestway to gain market
share, thus boosting proftability, is to buy it. Thats what Super D has
done to make it the second-largest wholesaler behind Anderson Mer-
chandisers, the rackjobber that supplies Walmart and Best Buy with
CDs and DVDs. While terms of the deal werent disclosed, Billboard
estimates that Super D paid between $100 million and $125 million
for Alliance, and used about $60 million-$75 million in debt to fnance
the deal, with the remaining $40 million-$50 million in equity. The
risk Super D is taking is whether it can produce enough earnings in a
shrinking physical business to pay down the debt its taking on.

WHo: Sellers Platinum Equity and the Gores Group bought Alli-
ance from Source Interlink in 2010 for about $85 million, according
to Billboard estimates. Alliance itself is a rollup of one-stops and in-
die distributors that was started in the early 90s by Joe Bianco and
Anil Narang, who bought Alan Meltzers CD One-Stop, as well as
Bassin Distributors, Abbey Road, INDI and Encore Distribution. It
was mainly run by Eric Weisman, and then by Alan Tuchman from
1996 through 2011. Super D is owned by Jef Walker, who started as a
music retailer in 1990 and evolved into a one-stop in 1995, and Bruce
Ogilvie, who opened Abbey Road in 1980, then sold it to Bianco and
Alliance in 1994. Ogilvie bought into Super D in 2001. The Alliance
acquisition means Ogilvies business life has come full circle.

if: If Alliance met projections it was circulating when the company

was up for sale last year, then it produced about $42 million in earn-
ings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization on sales of
$725 million, while Billboard estimates that Super D produced $13
million in EBITDA on sales of $195 million. This means the merged Super D is betting big that the
company has about $55 million in EBITDA on revenue of $915 mil-
lion. Super D is betting that the shrinkage of the CD and DVD busi- drop in CD and DVD sales will be

few thousand artists wouldnt put much of a dent in a catalog of more than

People go on strike all the time. Fast food workers in more than 60 U.S. cities have
gone on strike this year to protest their wages. Inspired by them, Walmart employees
protested their wages in 15 cities on Sept. 5.
Regardless of the merits of such a strike, without taking sides in the matter, its
clear that many artists are concerned about digital royalties and are yet unable to
efectively speak their mind. Digital services are often criticized for contributing to
less-than-livable wages for artists.
Its possible for artists to go on strike, to use the term loosely. (Protest might be
a better word since artists arent employed by digital services.) However, artists can-

formed? No. The information on both sides of the ar-
gument is easy to fnd online. Do they lack the proper
mechanism to stage a strike? Yes. Musicians unions
taken the lead by building artist support around this
issue. Music businesses tend to unify behind industry
talking points and positions. Individual artists dont.
Finally, the digital distributors that brokered the li-

The right combination of leadership and techno-
logical solutionmaybe an online form that submits
removal requests to distributors that are routed to ser-

unions exist. But no organization has taken the lead, and
individual protests wont change the status quo.

ticularly true as Apple prepares its iTunes Radio streaming service,
which will more likely be designed to stimulate digital sales.
Compilation problems for digital retailers: MoS core problem
with Spotify isnt new. When digital retailers restarted the singles
business, they fought album-only downloads, which is tough for
compilation producers.
Streaming services like Spotify are a similar but diferent problem.
When a compilation producer licenses tracks for its record from other
labels (including remixes commissioned by the producer), its common
for the licensing label to refuse to grant streaming rights to the produc-
er. That means that when Spotify users search for the compilation, they
typically do not fnd a page for the album, just the original artists page.
Compilation producers usually dont get a streaming royalty on
these licensed tracks, even though their brand is pushing the streams
through user playlists. This is partly because the service doesnt dis-
tinguish why the user streamed the track, just that it was streamed.
And streaming services do not ofer a business solution to this
User-generated playlists and safe
harbors: User-generated playlists that
use MoS brandplaylists that, I hope,
were generated organically by real us-
ersare at the center of MoS allega-
tions. If users created playlists that were
identical to MoS compilations without
using the MoS brand, the labels claims
would be weaker. But by allowing the
unauthorized use of a producers brand,
Spotify may confuse consumers into
thinking that the playlists are ofcial
and authorized. MoS would need to
prove this confusion (and damages), but
it seems plausible.
Spotify will probably seek protection
of the variety of safe harbors available
to online operators. Statutory safe har-
bors are typically reserved for compa-
nies that dont know and had no reason
to know that a problem was occurring,
so safe harbors for Spotify will be fact-
specifc after discovery in litigation.
Spotify has a bigger headache: Mak-
ing peace with compilation producers
who dont license to Spotify but believe
that the service is getting a free ride on
their work. Spotify needs to fnd a com-
mercial solution to this problem that
can turn lemons into lemonade.

to produce the smash folk/EDM crossover sound no one saw coming

in Wake Me Up!, and an album that promises even more surprises

SEPTEMBER 21, 2013 | WWW.BILLBOARD.BIZ 19

 he night sky fashes white with a Zeus-
ian crash over the tiny town of Boom in
Belgium, but its unclear whats making
the light and sound. Is it the countless
beams fring upward from the massive
festival stage, the freworks that period-
ically explode without warning, or the
storm thats been threatening all day?
Theyre all one to the teeming crowd
of 40,000 crammed before the stage,
a functioning volcano spewing LED-
colored fog and foamy water. Its Sat-
urday night at Tomorrowland, a three-
day fantasy-themed festival (July 26-28) that draws 180,000 to Boom
each year, and Avicii is at the decks for the weekends marquee set,
nestled safely at the base of the mighty mountain.
The 23-year-old DJ/producer, his high Swedish cheekbones pro-
jected above the crowd on three mega-sized screens, is doing what
hes done more than a thousand times in his young life: playing a mix
dominated by music he himself has produced for an enthusiastic
crowd. But Tomorrowland is diferent from any other gig. Fans from
more than 214 countries fll the audience, a real-time global test panel
for new music. The YouTube live stream is being watched by more
than 16.8 million throughout the world, hanging on every track. In a
world of big EDM stagesElectric Daisy Carnival (EDC), Ultra Music
Festival (UMF), the entire city of Las Vegasits the biggest.
Theres so much pressure to get everything right for that show, my
mind is almost blank when Im playing, says Avicii, born Tim Ber-
gling, a month later. Then afterward you see all the benefts.
Undoubtedly compounding that stress: The memory of UMF in
March. During his headlining set, Avicii debuted several tracks of his
bionic new album True (PRMD/Island Def Jam) with a full band of
accomplished yet not-very-neon musicians, including a banjo player
and folk singer. The sudden removal of repetitive beats sent thou-
sands of ravers scuttling to other stages, and unleashed an online fury
against what the Twitterverse dubbed country house. Bloggers and
other self-appointed pundits proclaimed that Avicii had lost the plot.
But by the time of Tomorrowland, something has changed. Avicii
plays his usual festival fodder for the Boom crowd: mashups of Mackl-
emore & Ryan Lewis, Pharoahe Monch and Eurythmics favorites
with EDM bangers, and his own hits, like I Could Be the One and
Le7els, the Etta James-sampling track that launched his career. By
the time he gets to True frst single Wake Me Up!, theres no doubt
the lights in the sky are from God, not man. Thunder cracks with the
bass and rain comes in a torrent, soaking everyone instantly and turn-
ing the main stage valley into a mud pitand setting up another po-
tential festival disaster.
Except that no one rushes to the sidelines or seeks shelter. The
tracks acoustic guitar rif has instantly changed the tenor of the party,
adding human warmth to all the synthetic bluster. The revelers, many
wrapped in the fags of their countries, raise their arms and voices and
sing along: So wake me up when its all over/When Im wiser and Im
older. Some might not understand the words, but they feel the vibe:
Its about youth, hope, desire. This very moment.
The magic of Wake Me Up! doesnt require an epic setting. The
track, co-written (with Avicii and his manager Ash Pournouri) and
performed by soul singer Aloe Blacc and Incubus guitarist Mike
Einziger, is No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 and has sold 1.1 million
copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan. While EDM fans might have
needed a few listens to get used to the orgo-beat cocktail, others are
drinking it up. Its the most Shazamed track in the United States, with
the lyric video garnering more than 70 million viewsalready sur-
passing Le7els.
Its one of those songs that, the moment you hear it in a store or
truck stop, just stands out from the noise, Island Def Jam president/
COO Steve Bartels says. It taps you on the shoulder. You want to
know what it is.
Those stores and truck stops are what make Wake Me Up! so
exciting to the industry. The single is an open invitation to the EDM
party for those who wouldnt be caught dead twirling a glowstick or
dancing in the Belgian mud, and its crossover potential is clear to ev-
eryone who hears it. According to Tom Poleman, president of nation-
al programming platforms for Clear Channel Radio, programmers
at the Clear Channel Music Summit in July immediately gravitated
toward the song, some leaving the room to instantly add it to their
stations. (Its charting at both triple A and alternative.)
It has just enough EDM to make you feel like youre cool without
trying too hard, Poleman says. When you can take the listener to
a place where they feel like theyre on the edge, but its very palat-
able and easy to listen tothats sort of the secret sauce. Country
cable station CMT added the video. Island Records president David

Massey calls it an EDM version of Fast Car by Tracy
Chapman. When Bartels frst heard it, he locked the
Avicii team in his ofce and wouldnt let them leave un-
til the rest of his colleagues could get a listen.
[Avicii has] stepped up and out of dance with this
current body of work, Bartels says. Its not niche any-
more. Its relevant in a much broader way.
All the tracks on True, out Sept. 17 on Pournouris
newly founded label PRMD through Island Def Jam,
have a similar formula: They blend an authentic slice
of an earthier genrebluegrass, soul, rock, even rocka-
billywith the beats and euphoria of the global dance
movement. Instead of pop stars dialing in toplines over
prefab beats, its based on musicians writing songs, to-
gether in a room. That small distinction, that kernel of
truth, could be what catapults Avicii from superstar DJ
to fat-out superstar, and carries EDM into a longer-
term future.
Avicii was only 20 when his meteoric rise began.
Pournouri discovered the fresh-faced producer in their
native Sweden and molded him into a starthe frst of
the overnight sensations that have come to defne the
EDM movement. Before Avicii had a hit, he had buses
shrink-wrapped with his visage driving around Miami
during UMF. Pournouris stated strategy was to make
him seem bigger than he was. Soon, perception was
reality, and Avicii was headlining UMF, EDC and fes-
tivals all over the world. Le7els has sold 1.5 million every song was written from scratch in the studio.
copies through a one-of deal with Interscope, was fea-
tured in a Bud Light Super Bowl ad and became a wed-
ding DJ staple. Ralph Lauren Denim & Supply inked a
far-reaching partnership with the photogenic star, in-
cluding an international ad campaign.
It wasnt all easy. An ill-planned arena tour back-
fred in 2011, forcing Avicii to cancel dates and play to
half-flled rooms. An unfattering GQ profle painted
him as an opportunistic upstart, without respect for
the heritage of DJing. Avicii landed in the hospital
several times with undisclosed ailments, reported as
something between exhaustion and malnutrition. If
anything, the kid seemed out of control of his own life.
But the Avicii who speaks from his collaborator and
new buddy Nile Rodgers East Hampton, N.Y., stu-
dio in Augustwhere hes already working on Trues
follow-upis diferent. His usually clipped answers
have become monologues. Theres an energy and con-
fdence to his voice. He sounds like a guy who fnally, at
long last, feels ready to drink his own Kool-Aid.
If you want to make a hit song, all you really need
to do is rewrite an old hit song. Thats how everyone
works, he says. But thats a very short-term way of
thinking. Its not going to make something that really the haunted heroine on the soaring Hope Theres
makes an impact on people.
The desire to break through, to make music that
stands the time test, has been echoed recently by EDM
stars from Porter Robinson (reportedly sitting on a mu-
sically expansive album of his own) to Zedd to Steve
Aoki. Artists who once dutifully pumped out singles

and craftsmanship it requires. Perhaps Daft Punks
well-documented obsession with the LPs golden age,
resulting in the unexpected and often strange Random
Access Memories, is what lit the fre.
But despite Rodgers presence on both Aviciis and
Daft Punks albums, Pournouri doesnt see the connec-
tion. Rather, he chalks it up to one of those instances
of synchronicity, like when fashion designers suddenly
all decide at once that purple animal prints are the
next direction. When we put True together, nothing
was known of the Daft Punk album, he says. A lot of
people see similarities, but we did our work way before
anyone saw anything, even before they revealed the
artwork on the website. Its incredible how things are
so similar in attitude and mentality.
Whatever the case, after three years of blithe fst-
pumping with the converted, it makes sense that EDM
artists might be ready for something deeperand, in
terms of audience reach, wider. For Avicii, that meant
time of the road and in the studio. He spent about two
months in Los Angeles at the start of the year, working
on what would become True. From the start, the ses-
sions were diferent from the EDM norm. The only
way Id worked before was remotely, he says. I usu-
ally had a song already, a backing track. Id send it to
someone and theyd write a vocal on top of it. But here,
Pournouri had reached out to his powerful network
to source songwriting and vocal talent, including Sony/
ATVs Stockholm-based executive Johnny Tennander
(who co-A&Rd the album) and Interscope senior VP of
A&R Neil Jacobson. He shuttled them all of to Aviciis
studio with clear terms: co-writing credits, yes, but no
features. Every track would be credited to Avicii only.
Ive always had that strategy, he says. I wanted
to make Avicii a huge artist, not a DJ. Therefore, I did
not allow any features on our own records. Obviously
everyone didnt accept this, long before the album, but
I stood frm. Before going into sessions I would state
these terms and if they werent agreed to, wed turn
down the opportunity to collaborate.
Avicii says John Legend and Linkin Parks Mike Shi-
noda were some of his frst collaborators. They didnt
make the albums fnal cut, but a parade of unknowns
and unlikelys did, culled from all corners of the musi-
cal universe. Dan Tyminski, who memorably sang I

 Avicii has stepped up and out of dance.
Its not niche anymore. Its relevant in a much
broader way. Steve Bartels, Island Def Jam
great-great niece, sings on two tracks, including standout Addicted
to You, co-written by 71-year-old Mac Davis, who penned A Little
Less Conversation for Elvis Presley.
Some sessions happened in Sweden, and Rodgers joined the proj-
ect in late March, when his work with Daft Punk was about to arrive.
But in about three months, Avicii had an albumone that didnt
sound like anything else. I wasnt even intending to use acoustic in-
struments at frst. The only reason we did that was for songwriting
purposes, he says. My frst thought was to take all these a cappellas
and make a new track with electronic stuf. But when I removed the
guitars and the piano, it felt like I had taken out something important
from the songs. I fell in love with those sounds.
The public frst heard the new songs at UMF, where Avicii had al-
ways made a splash: Madonna joined him onstage the previous year,
scandalously asking the young audience if they were on drugs (but in
raver code: Has anybody seen Molly?). This year, he had some stif
competition for attention: Ultra was two weekends instead of its usual
one, and Swedish House Mafa was playing its last gig ever on Sunday.
We had to break through the noise, Pournouri says.
After playing an abbreviated but expected EDM set, Avicii left the
main stage, making way for a live band of his collaborators: Einziger
with Incubus bandmates Ben Kenney and Jose Pasillas, plus Blacc,
Davis, Mae and Tyminski. They performed acoustic versions of
Wake Me Up!, Addicted to You and some other album tracks
causing the now-infamous mass exodus.
We obviously knew we were going to provoke people. That was the
whole point of doing it the way we did, Pournouri says. We expect-
ed some heat for that, but not what we got.
Later that week, when Avicii leaked snippets of the fully produced
tracks with warm, comforting four-on-the-foor beats, audience opin-
ion started to shift. But within the industry, everyone immediately
knew what they were hearing, and several diferent labels were al-
ready vying to release True. Pournouri has licensed the album to Uni-
versal worldwide, and set to selecting which of its U.S. labels would
get the nod. He had released one-of Avicii singles through Interscope
(Le7els) and Republic (I Could Be the One), and an album from
his other artist Cazzette through Island Def Jam, with the partial goal
of testing each labels performance.
We felt that Island was the most hungry and synchronized as a
team. In the end thats what tipped it, he says. They made the best
impression on us.

The Prince
Who Would
Be King
Prince Royce is Latin musics biggest
breakout star. Armed with a new Sony deal
that will see him releasing albums
in Spanish and English, hes poised to be
the next crossover sensation
by l e i l a c o b o
I
n 2002, when he was 13 years old, Geofrey
Rojas decided he wanted to be a singer. It
took him six years to develop a sound, a look
and an identity, to turn himself into Prince
Royce. It took him another two years to top
the charts, and one more to release the top-
selling Latin album of 2011, Prince Royce. He
stands now as the most successful breakout
Latin act in recent years, though his greatest
accomplishments may lie just ahead.
Royce is that rarest of commodities: a Latin cross-
over star in the making, andarmed with a new man-
ager whos helped guide the Black Eyed Peas, a new
major-label deal that will see him releasing albums in
both Spanish and English, and one of the most pow-
erful brand partners in music retailone with a real
chance of realizing his crossover dreams.
From day one that was the plan, Royce says, to
cross over. All my albums have had English songs and
Spanglish in them. It was just a matter of when and
where and how. You cant really plan a crossover. But
for me at least, it was always in the works.
On Oct. 8, Royce releases his third studio album, Soy
el Mismo (Im the Same), on Sony Music Latin, mark-
ing his major-label debut after two sets with Top Stop
Records. The album is part of a two-pronged deal with
Sony where Royce will release his Spanish-language
albums through Sony Music Latin and his English-lan-
guage albums through RCA. His frst RCA setalready
in the worksis due in the fall of 2014.
Born and raised in New York by Dominican parents,
Royce spoke English as his frst language, but he iden-
tifed closely with his Latin roots. Inspired by fellow
New York act Aventura, he sang bachata, but he gave it
a more romantic, pop-laced twist that complemented
his baby-face and sweet, R&B-tinged voice.
Equipped with a full-length album, Royce knocked
on the door of every Latin label, and was turned down
each time, until Miami-based indie Top Stop saw the
possibilities of a young, bilingual bachata act.
Lounging on a couch at the Hit Factory in Miami,
Royce is all pouty smiles and charm. Despite his bad-
boy outftblack T-shirt, black hooded leather jacket,
black jeans and black high-top shoeshe exudes a
boy-next-door geniality. But when he speaks, he has
the authority of a man in charge of his business.
When Royce shopped that frst demo, he was young
and green. He signed away multiple rights, including
his publishing at the time, which he gave to Top Stop as
part of his 360 deal.
In turn, Top Stop took Royce to the top of the charts.
His frst single, a cover of Stand by Me, peaked at
No. 8 on Billboards Hot Latin Songs chart in 2010. It
preceded three No. 1s, including Corazon Sin Cara, a
self-penned single that was on his original demo. Even-
tually, Royces self-titled debut would sell 357,000 cop-
ies, according to Nielsen SoundScan, making it the
top-selling Latin album of 2011.
I learned from whatever happened, and I made
thoughtful decisions, Royce says of his early deals.
I didnt rush into things. Everything was done with
a strategy.
Royces actions bear that out. By the time he was re-
cording his second album, hed built up enough steam
that conversations were taking place for him to record
in English with Atlantic. At that point, Royce decided
he needed a management team to take the reins of an

Derella in DAS Communications has managed the ca-

schedule this season. With Smash out of NBCs lineup, only one
program is producing original music, ABCs second season of Nash-
ville, and only one is guaranteeing new recordings, the ffth season of
Foxs Glee.
Shows typically begin to reveal their musical favor within three or
four episodes and few returning programs are likely to expand or trim
their musical oferings. Adventurous programming, by and large, has
been relegated to cable networks where risk is factored into each ele-
ment, whether its the size of the episode order or the soundtrack.
Opportunities for contemporary music still exist at two of the net-

part, use their highly rated music competition showsAmerican
Idol and The Voice, respectivelyto woo viewers to their other of-

fgure out how to capture the appeal of Glee in a diferent setting;
only Nashville succeeded. Nothing on the fall schedule is diving
as deep into music as Nashville, Greys Anatomy or Glee, but
there are still numerous areas for the music industry to keep its eye on.

role that Raymond Burr defned from

to be a grittier take on the police drama.
Team members of mine are having a
good time with it, NBCUniversal VP of

could see even more music coming out
of the show. We have new characters
and they all sing beautifully, ABC Stu-
dios senior VP of music Dawn Soler says.
And there could be a wider variety of
music as well. We will probably spread
our palette a bit more to examine ev-

and touch on the other areas exploding
there. The show uses an extraordinary
number of songwriters and musicians,
all of whose work passes through the
hands of music supervisor Frankie Pine.

 T H E S TAT E O F
ON J ULY 18, THE MEMBER S OF CH V RCHES strode onstage at the
Stadio San Siro football stadium in Milan for a sold-out show with
nearly 58,000 people in attendance, according to Billboard Box-
score. The performance was nearly one year to the day since the
Scottish synth-pop trio had performed its frst show together. At
that point, the group had released fve songs commercially, com-
pared with the 300 tracks released by the band Chvrches were
opening for, Depeche Mode.
The humble members of ChvrchesLauren Mayberry, Iain Cook
and Martin Dohertyswallowed hard and did their best to reach out
and touch a football stadium full of unfamiliar alt-rock fans with the
songs from their frst album, The Bones of What You Believe, which
was more than two months away from release. If you stop and think
about it too much, then its just going to make you crazy, and youre
not going to be able to play the show because youll be too busy shit-
ting your pants, Mayberry says. Doherty adds, You step out onto
that stage, and you realize that everyone beyond the frst number of

even as an opening act. But when grandiose phrases

have been preceding a groups SEO-friendly moni-
ker in print and online articles for more than a year,
that bands appearance at a stadium date prior to the
release of its debut album makes a little more sense.

most promising new acts. The band has sold 14,000
copies of its three-song Recover single since its
March release, according to Nielsen SoundScan; un-
veiled stark music videos that have garnered more
than half a million YouTube views each; and lined
up headlining dates at 3,000-capacity venues, mere

These accomplishments have largely resulted
from the strength of songs like Lies, Chvrches

the lead single from The Bones of What You Believe.

Cage the Elephant goes for its
fourth Alternative No. 1, and
might stomp Top 40 as well
By Chris Payne
Melophobia, the new album from Kentucky-based indie-
esque heavy-rock act Cage the Elephant (Oct. 8, RCA),
translates to fear of music, which is also the name of
Talking Heads 1979 Brian Eno-produced album. Vocal-
ist Matt Shultz maintains he didnt catch the similarity
in the titles, and confesses he hadnt been informed of
it until just before speaking to Billboard. Though he may
have name-dropped a seminal rock album in the pro-
cess, for Shultz, crafting Melophobia meant not fearing
music itself, but its conventions and clichs.
Its a fear of creating music under false pretenses,
catering to cool, or writing to project some sort of im-
age thats based upon social standards, Shultz says.

as we can.
Live performance has been key to Cage the
Elephants ascent to alt-rock notoriety. What set them
apart immediately was Matt and the manic way he
performs, says Burrs, who likens him to the unlikely
combination of Iggy Pop and Ian Curtis. Besides Muse,
the band has opened for Silversun Pickups and Foo
Fighters, with Foos frontman Dave Grohl even flling
in once when drummer Jared Champions appendix
burst. Plus, the band has been willing to play less glam-
orous gigslike radio station barbecues and holiday
showsto establish itself. And though Cage the El-
ephant hasnt often embraced synchs in the past, Burrs
says, Given its not something the guys are against,
were going to try to get whatever we can get.
The way the record sounds, if we go all the way
in Alternative, which I think were going to, this may
be something we try to cross to pop radio, he adds.
Its nice because, sonically, some of the bands have
been able to cut through. Who would have thought we
wouldve heard a banjo on [pop] radio from the Lum-

By Emily Zemler
AFI has been a band for two decades, releasing eight
albums since its 1995 punk-rock debut, Answer That and
Stay Fashionable. But the acts latest single, 17 Crimes,
of the upcoming Burials (Oct. 22, Republic), sets a few
new milestones: Its placement in the flm Mortal

Burials is the groups frst album for Republic Records,
which signed AFI earlier this year. The Mortal Instru-

of LA Riots and thought it would be cool to give fans an

When it came time to pen the follow-up to 2009s Crash
Love, which bowed at No. 12 on the Billboard 200 with
150,000 sold to date (according to Nielsen Sound-
Scan), the musicians were merely interested in captur-

over a year, beginning in the fall of 2011, and Republic
signed AFI based on a demo version of Burials. The
