Alcoholic Faith Mission
In 2006 the two high school friends Thorben and Sune formed Alcoholic
Faith Mission. Walking through Brooklyn they accidentally stumbled upon the Apostolic Faith Mission. They joked about trading Apostolic out for Alcoholic; alcoholics have faith in booze like the devout have in religion. A band with a name was conceived. Six months after the conception of AFM they released their debut Misery Loves Company. All recordings were made in Thorben's bedroom in Copenhagen. Brooklyn never quite loosened its grip however, and in spring of 2008 the guys went back to record their second album 421 Wythe Avenue. The album was released in April 2009 and received critical acclaim. AFM turned into a collective enrolling Kristine, Gustav, Morten and Anders. In 2010 their third and most renowned album Let This Be The Last Night We Care was released and a busy touring schedule could commence. In the summer of 2011 AFM stepped out onto the big European festival stages playing Roskilde Festival (DK), Peace & Love (SE) and Positivus (LV) to list a few. Several American media like MTV, Brooklyn Vegan, Esquire, New York Times and Toronto Star highlighted AFM as a stand out act respectively at Reykjavík's Iceland Airwaves, New York's CMJ, Toronto's CMW and Austins SxSW. Together with Tom McFall (R.E.M., Stars) AFM finished their fourth album Ask Me This in the fall of 2011. It's set to release worldwide in 2012. |
