Very Proud of Ya is the second studio album by American rock band AFI. It was released on June 18, 1996, through Nitro Records.
Background
The liner notes of the album state that all the tracks are copyrighted to Anthems for Insubordinates, while the mailing address states the band's name as Asking for It. It is the last album to feature bassist Geoff Kresge, who illustrated the album cover as well.[5] The album features future band member Jade Puget performing back-up vocals.[5] It was recorded in about a week.[6]
In a 2010 interview, Kresge mentioned that several additional songs and guitar solos were omitted due to time constraints, as a result the band re-recorded several songs that had been previously released.[7][8]
The tracks "Two of a Kind" and "Yürf Rendenmein" were re-recorded from their debut album Answer That and Stay Fashionable. The title of "Love Is a Many Splendored Thing" is a reference to the song of the same name by Sammy Fain and Paul Francis Webster, although it is not a cover.
A music video, the band's first, was made for "He Who Laughs Last..."[6] Directed by Darren Doane and Ken Daurio, it draws inspiration from the film Goodfellas (1990).[9]
The songs "Cruise Control" and "Love Is a Many Splendored Thing" were used in the 1996 independent film Mary Jane's Not a Virgin Anymore, which was first screened in 1997 and also features Havok in a small role.
