AFI, originally formed in 1991 in Ukiah, California, has evolved from a hardcore punk band into a multifaceted rock group known for their dynamic sound and theatrical presence. The band, consisting of lead vocalist Davey Havok, drummer Adam Carson, bassist Hunter Burgan, and guitarist Jade Puget, has successfully navigated various musical genres, including horror punk, post-hardcore, emo, and alternative rock. Their journey began with the release of their debut album, “Answer That and Stay Fashionable,” in 1995, which showcased their energetic hardcore roots and humorous lyrical themes.
The band’s significant breakthrough came with their fifth studio album, “The Art of Drowning” (2000), which marked their first substantial commercial success, peaking at number 174 on the Billboard 200. However, it was their sixth album, “Sing the Sorrow” (2003), that catapulted them into mainstream recognition, debuting at number five on the Billboard 200 and achieving Platinum certification by the RIAA. This album featured hit singles like “Girl’s Not Grey” and “Silver and Cold,” solidifying AFI’s status as a leading force in the rock scene.
Continuing their upward trajectory, AFI’s seventh album, “Decemberunderground” (2006), debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, featuring the chart-topping single “Miss Murder.” The band’s ability to adapt and innovate was evident in subsequent releases, including “Crash Love” (2009) and “Burials” (2013), both of which showcased their evolving sound while maintaining a loyal fanbase.
In recent years, AFI has continued to impress with their eleventh album, “Bodies” (2021), which further explores their gothic rock influences. Their commitment to artistic growth and their ability to resonate with diverse audiences have established AFI as a pioneering band in the rock genre, celebrated for their contributions to music and their captivating live performances.
