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.
