AFI’s Davey Havok Blasts Animal Experiments In New PETA Ad For “World Rat Day”
AFI frontman Davey Havok and a rat named Wee Man have teamed up for a new PETA ad that was released for “World Rat Day” (April 4). The video was created to speak out against the “forced swim test,” which is conducted by dropping small animals in water and watching them struggle to swim. Havok had the following to say about the “behavioral despair test,” which pharmaceutical companies use to screen antidepressant drugs:
“Is that depression that you’re measuring? No. It’s fear. It’s trauma. It’s fight or flight. … Nothing is gained from that except their suffering. And no animals deserve that. No animals deserve to be treated like that.”

The group commented:
“Given the current challenges that we are still facing at this stage of the pandemic, we have come to the very difficult decision to postpone The Bodies Tour to the fall of 2022. With Covid cases still on the rise, we fear that we will not be able to complete the tour the way it is currently scheduled, and moving it will hopefully give us a better chance to see it through to its entirety.
Because our Los Angeles shows do not require us to travel, these 2 dates will still be taking place in March. We will also be adding a new show in Anaheim, CA on 10/25 and Ventura, CA on 11/25 to the itinerary. We thank you for your understanding, and we hope you hold onto your tickets for the fall. Please contact your point of purchase if you have any questions.”
AFI Premiere New Song “Caught”
AFI have premiered a new song titled “Caught.” You can check that out below:
Vocalist Davey Havok commented:
“We were really happy with ‘Caught‘ and planned for it to be on the ‘Bodies‘ album. 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.”
Drummer Adam Carson added:
“I really like ‘Caught‘ and I fought for it. 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.”
AFI’s Music To Be Featured In New Short Film “Where We Used To Meet”

AFI’s Davey Havok Announces NFT Photo Collaboration With Nedda Afsari
AFI’s Davey Havok has teamed up with photographer Nedda Afsari for a new NFT called “A Strange Year: Day 293.” Fans can bid on that via Ephimera.com. You can also read more about the collaboration HERE.
Afsari commented:
“When quarantine hit, we had to come up with different ways to express ourselves in isolation. Dave approached me with the idea of documenting him in his personal space, untethered. Meaning, Dave in his unkempt environment.”
Havok added:
“After having first shot with Nedda, I longed to get back in front of her lens. Before I could, the pandemic hit, and without safe beautification options, I fell into disarray. My hair went uncut for months. My mustache grew serpentine and obscene. Needless to say, I needed documentation. Thankfully, Nedda was ready for the sordid task. Amidst the quiescence of my home, she captured me at, what traditionally would be construed as, my most masculine. What I call my ”70s porn coke dealer moment’ felt too sensational for the archives. The photos were just too alluring. Thus, another excuse to work with Nedda was born. I asked if she’d consider doing a third shoot to document the post-porn look, suggesting we combine three starkly different shoots, capturing varied versions of myself, into a single show: A Strange Year.”
