DREAMCAR: The AFI/No Doubt Supergroup Has a Name

by | Nov 16, 2016

Remember earlier in the year when we told you about the AFI/No Doubt supergroup? Well that band finally revealed its name: Dreamcar. And no, Gwen Stefani still isn’t part of it.

But the band does feature AFI frontman Davey Havok with No Doubt members Tom Dumont, Tony Kanal and Adrian Young. They’ve already recorded their debut album and plan to tour in support of it in 2017.

That means you’ll be seeing a lot of Davey next year. AFI’s new album, AFI (The Blood Album), comes out in January (Jan 20 to be exact) — and we presume lots of touring for them as well.

As far as what Dreamcar sounds like, Young told Billboard back in May:

“[It] actually doesn’t sound like AFI or No Doubt. And sometimes I’m not objective enough to really understand it. And I ask my wife or friends, I play them a snippet and I go, ‘Does this sound like either one of these bands” And they’re like, ‘No.’ And I think that’s a good thing.”
