AFI

A product of popular music's modern shift toward punk, AFI (A Fire Inside) formed in 1991 in California, released a series of EPs and seemingly vanished until 1996, when they released Very Proud of Ya. With a new goth-influenced look and singer Davey Havok's androgynous vocals, the group has progressively taken a gloom-and-doom approach to otherwise basic melodic punk songs about revenge and despair. Their 2003 DreamWorks release, Sing the Sorrow, spawned three major hits and catapulted AFI into the mainstream.
