American rockers AFI have distanced themselves from a new best of compilation album being released today on Nitro Records. While not going all out and telling fans to boycott the album, they have stressed they themselves were not involved in the best of.
On their website the band wrote: "While we are extremely proud of our body of work over the years, we would like you to know it was not the band's decision to compile, create or promote a 'retrospective' at this point in our career. If you should enjoy it or hear something you've been unable to find elsewhere then great, but please understand it was conceived and sold without our input. We are much more focused on creating our new record for our fans."
