Bio: Hardcore punk revivalists AFI (A Fire Inside) originally formed in 1991 when its members -- vocalist Davey Havok, guitarist Markus Stopholese, bassist Vick, and drummer Adam Carson -- were attending high school in Ukiah, CA.
The record also marked AFI's crossover into the mainstream as their fan base considerably grew, national news publications praised them, and several singles found airplay on MTV.

 Punknews.org | AFI - Sing The Sorrow (2003)
Regardless of the “scene” ethos, AFI has made the switch to the big leagues, and though many, I’m sure, negative comments and reviews are about to be hurled in the direction of Sing the Sorrow, this reviewer doesn’t see much ground for pessimistic frenzy.
I feared that AFI’s energy would be stripped away, raped by that all too familiar over-produced sound that is the inclination of mainstream rock of recent.
There is the standard AFI rousing ending with an infectiously melodic cry/scream, “This is my life/This is eternal” on the closing track, “Â…But Home is Nowhere.” Havok’s lyrics are as dark and curiously ambiguous as they have always been.

 AFI DISCOVERS OLDEST SURVIVING AMERICAN MOVIE
The historic discovery was made after AFI obtained the film from a former movie projectionist in Portland, Oregon, who himself acquired it more than 30 years ago in a trade for his collection of silent movies, and had stored it in the basement of his home ever since.
AFI also has announced that the Joseph H. Kanter Foundation has generously agreed to provide funding for AFI to make backup negatives from the original nitrate copy as well as several prints.
To date, the AFI Catalog-all of which is primary research-has published more than 10,000 pages of information on feature-length films from the 1910s through the 1930s, the 1960s, and all films from 1893 to 1910.

 afi Mp3 Albums Review
Since AFI had spent years in the underground expanding their fan base and appeal to ridiculous heights, it was only a matter of time before a cd of this nature surfaced.
It's a shame AFI refuses to play their older music such as the material on this album and really anything before Sing The Sorrow, as if the music is inferior to the new when in reality it's by far superior and is what made the band what they are today.
So while AFI may have forgotten their roots you don't have too so this is highly recommended to anyone who is reading this.

 AFI   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20)
AFI ("A Fire Inside") is a scathing hardcore punk outfit from Northern California whose music generally evokes a tearing open of flesh and spilling out of viscera.
That said, the band is talented and adventuresome, taking violent hardcore aggression as the foundation and incorporating other moods and styles, thus making their music considerably more interesting than typical monotone hardcore punk expressions of rage and disenfranchisement.
AFI's vision is decidedly bleak, making them a challenge to listen to, but if you're up for it, it's a satisfying cathartic experience.

AFI is an okay band, but this song is terrible.
And as for these "old" AFI fans who are saying this album is shit, then you were all obviously not true fans at all to turn on a band you supposedly loved so much.
AFI wanted to change their sound, so give them a fucking break.

 Floridian: Another year, another AFI list
But that hasn't stopped the AFI from producing other snazzy network specials on the top heroes, villains, comedies, romances and "thrills," a particularly clumsy endeavor that jumbled horror, sci-fi, swashbuckling and psychological tension, as if those are the only ways that movies thrill.
AFI rules eliminated any movie released after 2002, at least a year early in my judgment.
But here's one political declaration: I'll forgive the AFI nominating Meryl Streep's insignificant line from Out of Africa ("I had a farm in Africa.") if voters sneak in her A Cry in the Dark line ("The dingo took my baby!") that I've always enjoyed in a twisted way.

The origins and history of AFI are as humble as they are passionate, beginning with the meaning and philosophy behind the acronym now known to an ever-growing legion of fans the world over: A Fire Inside.
In the meantime, AFI's live draw increased exponentially, and with good reason: To witness the AFI live experience is to understand both that unique internal chemistry and the undeniable bond between band and audience that has been honed and strengthened through nearly seven years of non-stop worldwide touring.

 CNN.com - 'Psycho' tops AFI's thrilling films list - June 13, 2001
Like the AFI list's naming the top 100 films, stars and laughs, the AFI says this collection was put together to drum up interest in the history of film.
"AFI hopes this new list will spark another national dialogue and send a new generation of moviegoers to see these heart-pounding movies," Jean Picker Firstenberg, the AFI's director and chief executive officer, said in a statement.
They were told to pick the most thrilling films regardless of genre and to consider "the total adrenaline-inducing impact of a film's artistry and craft," according to the AFI statement.

Finally, after quite some time now, AFI have released Decemberunderground, which I cannot say is their greatest album but I can say is most probably their best produced and mature album.
The new AFI album Decemberunderground, is very different from their other albums, its like they have a hole new approach to music and a whole new sound.
AFI has more fans now than ever before, and their album is one of the best rock albums i have ever heard.

 umusic.ca :: afi   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20)
The earliest hints of AFI's move in a more diverse, mature direction appeared on their third album and first to feature current bassist Hunter (ex-the Force), Shut Your Mouth and Open Your Eyes (Nitro, 1997) and the subsequent A Fire Inside EP (Adeline, 1998).
It would be one more year, however, before the present AFI lineup would click with the addition of Jade Puget (ex-Redemption 87) and the release of fourth album Black Sails in the Sunset and the All Hallows EP (both Nitro, 1999).
As the members of AFI readily acknowledge, their atypical success story owes no small debt to possibly the most passionate and unlikeliest assemblage of fans to coalesce around any artist: The Despair Faction.

Not forgetting the hidden track, which is average, but AFI seem to love putting hidden tracks at the end of their albums.
AFI has since changed their sound in the form of a more commercial and more emotional-technological indie sound.
Anyone who is interested in AFI should begin here instead of Sing The Sorrow or DecemberUnderground because this is the real AFI here on this album and hopefully it's only a matter of time before the bad returns to making classic music like this.

 AFI : AFI - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
We'd rather move forward...." That was the post by AFI on their official message board in October 2004.
But AFI is still a solid overview of the band's pre-Sing the Sorrow output, which between 1996 and 2000 included five albums and an EP.
But the records do trace the transformation of AFI's sound, from the early influence of California hardcore and punk to the crashing chords and richer melodic sense that would coalesce with the hit major-label debut, Sorrow.

 LEFT OFF THE DIAL - Live Gig Reviews - AFI
Then when AFI let out their opening guitar strums and the band started chanting the opening lines to "strength through wounding" it was utter silence from that crew of degenerates.
The latter was especially creepy because they played it at the end of the show and I was becoming scared of the imminent presence of walking out of the venue into the slummy DC neighborhood outside.
I have to give Fritch a shout-out because he does a lot of the behind the scenes work for AFI and the fact that you can buy the latest AFI album, The Art Of Drowning, at the merch table for five bucks is something that you would expect from a punk show in 1989.
