In 2002, AFI left Nitro Records. DreamWorks Records artists and repertoire executive Luke Wood signed them to the label following intense interest. Their first album for the label, Sing the Sorrow , was released in 2003. The album opened in Billboard ‘ s top ten and scored enthusiastic lead reviews in major music magazines. The songs ” Girl’s Not Grey “, ” The Leaving Song Pt. II “, and ” Silver and Cold ” had some Billboard chart success and exposed the band to even larger audiences. They were nominated in the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards for the MTV2 award category for the “Girl’s Not Grey” video, which came to be their first VMA.
