A brand new, completely re-imagined, acoustic version of American Hi-Fi's beloved 2001 debut album is released today via Rude Records in celebration of the LP's 15 year anniversary (14 years, 364 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds to be exact).

To celebrate 15 years of activity and 15 years from the release of one of the milestones in pop-rock history, American Hi-Fi got back in the studio to track an acoustic version of their debut album, which was originally released on February 27th, 2001. The band recorded at Sunset Sound, the legendary studio in the heart of Hollywood where such acts as Social Distortion, Van Halen, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, Rancid, and Tom Petty have all recorded. Â
The result is âAmerican Hi-Fi Acousticâ, a re-work of the thirteen songs compiling the original album with a new, fresh, acoustic spirit.
Together with the announcement, the band has recently released a video for their classic âFlavor of the Weakâ, recorded during the Sunset Sound sessions, available for viewing here: http://smarturl.it/FlavorAcousticVideo
American Hi-Fi is an American pop punk band that formed in Boston, Massachusetts in 1998. The band consists of vocalist Stacy Jones, guitarist Jamie Arentzen, bassist Drew Parsons, and drummer Brian Nolan. Prior to the group's formation, Stacy Jones was well known for being a drummer in the successful alternative rock bands Veruca Salt and Letters to Cleo. American Hi-Fi has a close relationship with Miley Cyrus, whose band shares two members with American Hi-Fi. The group has a mixed musical style that includes influences from pop punk, alternative rock, and power pop.
The group released its eponymous debut album in 2001, and this led to their hit single "Flavor of the Weak" and the band was awarded as the "Rising Star" from the Boston Music Awards, 2001. After a successful tour, they released the live album Rock N' Roll Noodle Shop: Live from Tokyo and then the full album The Art of Losing, in 2002 and 2003 respectively. After this, the group was dropped from their label, Island Records, and moved to Los Angeles to remake their production and sound. Working with veteran music producer Butch Walker, they released Hearts on Parade in 2005. The band then toured to a widespread fan-base in Japan and in the United States. Finally the band came back after five years of interval, releasing their fourth studio album Fight the Frequency in August 2010.
In 2014 the band was back with âBlood & Lemonadeâ, American Hi-Fiâs fifth full length out on European label Rude Records. Featuring the single âAllisonâ and other notables âGolden Stateâ and âArmageddon Daysâ, the record wholly embraced the sound and spirit of classic, balls-to-the-wall, guitar rock mixed with the power pop sensibilities that lead to their worldwide smash âFlavor of the Weakâ.
Rude Records is an independent record label, founded and based in Europe and distributed worldwide. It represents in Europe a selection of alternative US labels (Hopeless Records, SideOneDummy Records, Nitro Records and more) and it enjoys its own growing roster of international artists, such as Zebrahead, American Hi-Fi, The Maine, I Am The Avalanche, Light Years, Set It Off, Less Than Jake, Bedouin Soundclash and many more.
