American Hi-Fi

American Hi-Fi is a pop/punk band, that is from Los Angeles, California.
American Hi-Fi and Miley Cyrus are close, they share three quarters of the same band members.

Their self-titled album BMX Girl, but known as The Art of Losing was released on February 27th, 2001. [This is my favorite album from them, and my favorite song from them is "Flavor of the Weak", which also is as song from this album.]
This album ended up reaching number 81 on The Billboard 200 list and number one on the Heatseekers list.
The hit song from that album was "Flavor of the Weak" and it made the Hot Modern Rock Tracks along with the Billboard Hot 100, among many other charts. Singles from that album are:
  • Flavor of the Weak
  • The Art of Losing
  • The Breakup Song
Hearts on Parade was released in Japan on July 14th 2004. In 2005 they were signed by "Maverick Records". That helped hem promote the single, "The Geeks Get the Girls".
Almost a year into it and the fans started to complain that the album was too much of pop music so then Maverick dropped them around autumn of 2005, for poor record sales.
Then around winter of 2005 the "Playtone Records" picked them up and started a demo called "The Rescue" that was recorded on the album Hearts on Parade but it was cut, so Playtone Records ended up putting that song back on to the album.  [Nothing much happened with that album, in my opinion I think that it was a total bust.]

Fight the Frequency was started in December of 2006, the band was touring in spring of 2007.  In April of 2007, the band started to record the new album on May 4th, 2007. The band ended up releasing two tracks on their MySpace, "Keep It Like a Secret" and "A Taste for Crime". They released eight demos:
  • Fight the Frequency
  • Frat Chump
  • Acetate
  • Bullet
  • This Is a Low
  • Recover the Stars 
  • Lost
  • Where Love Is a Lie

The record was released finally on August 17th, 2010. The band created their own label "Hi-Fi Killers/The Ascot Club", so they could have more freedom to do what they wanted with their own music and head it into the direction of what they hoped.
Band Members:
  • Stacy Jones- Vocals, guitar, drums
  • Jamie Arentzen- Lead guitar
  • Drew Parsons- Bass and vocals
