Check out this exclusive track from American Hi-Fi. This Boston band, fronted by Stacy Jones (Letters To Cleo, Veruca Salt) are best known for their hit "Flavor of the Weak." They have just completed their third record, which will be released at the beginning of 2005.

Hey Y'all,

This is Stacy. I play in a band called American Hi-Fi. Remember us??? Well...we're back!

Sorry it's taken me a while to write to you guys, but we have been busy. Doing what you might ask...

Well, we made a record this past winter. Our friend Butch Walker came out to help us in our new studio, which used to belong to Eric from Hole. You may know Butch as an artist and all the records that he produces (ever hear of Avril Lavigne?). It came out amazing. I think that it's our best one yet and can't wait for you to hear it. It was inspired by some of our favorite bands, like Squeeze, Blur, Joe Jackson, The Jam and The Clash. You'll be able to check it on our new website which is launching in about a week.

In the meantime, you can check us out on tour in July. We're going to be co-headlining with Butch Walker (we can't stop talking about him). First we're going to play, then he's going to come out and we're going to be his backup band (isn't that like Motown used to do?). I'm actually playing drums for him (and played all the drums on our new record). We're putting the tour dates up as they come in on our tour website: www.butchwalkervsamericanhi-fi.com.

We miss you guys and hopefully will be seeing you soon,

Stacy
