American Hi-Fi is a power pop/alternative rock band from Boston, Massachusetts, best known for their 2001 hit "Flavor of the Weak". To date, they have released three studio albums as well as a Japan-only live album release. The band has suggested on their official website that a fourth would be recorded in summer of 2006 (So far no word on recording yet).

American Hi-Fi was formed in Boston, MA in 1998. Stacy Jones had been a drummer for several bands (among them Letters to Cleo and Veruca Salt). Stacy had never sang a note nor played guitar so after shows he bought a Mel-Bays guitar book and taught himself to play the guitar in the back of the tour bus. After the Veruca Salt tour, Stacy formed his own band with three of his friends, Brian Nolan, Jamie Arentzen and Drew Parsons. Though all members were in other bands at the time, they found time to "hang out, drink beer, and play Cheap Trick covers."
