AFI releases previously unreleased ‘Caught’

Track was recorded during the Bodies sessions

AFI has shared a new song “Caught” via Rise Records. Previously unreleased, “Caught” was recorded while the band was making their newest album, Bodies. AFI first shared the song with fans at the premiere of Where We Used To Meet, the brand new short film by Kes Glozier. The film features music from Bodies and storylines inspired by the song lyrics.

“We were really happy with ‘Caught’ and planned for it to be on the Bodies album,” vocalist Davey Havok explains. “We ended up cutting it at the last minute to allow for a better album flow, but still really loved the song. When we started collaborating with Kes on ‘Where We Used To Meet,’ we thought it would be a great context to present the song in.”

“I really like ‘Caught’ and I fought for it,” drummer Adam Carson adds. “Even though I didn’t play on it at all, I felt that it was a really good song and would be important on the record. I was crushed when it didn’t make the cut, so I’m happy we are releasing it now.”

The new track will be available on a limited 7 inch vinyl that includes a digital download. The vinyl is set for release on June 10, 2022, due to delayed production at manufacturing plants.

AFI will embark on a 2022 US headline run beginning February 11th in San Diego. Featuring special guests Cold Cave, the tour will hit venues from coast to coast, including Terminal 5 in New York City on March 3rd, and concludes at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles on March 25th and March 26th.
