Gothic wicked AFI Get their flowers in a new biography
Before AFI came to the Goth Punk scene in the late 1990s, the main stickers were merged, and Rock Gold Rush Indie had gone somewhat. The painful KURT COBAIN painting is replaced twice-through the brightness, Pop-Pop-POP-BUNK of Green Day and others renounced, Indie SCARAPY teams. Before the contract ends, the focus will be turned into rap and grawy music like the doctrine.
In this environment, it was not likely to explode a group like AFI, which spent several years on its way to the West Coast Punk ladder. For the first time in the main brand, 2003’s RichHe was among the best sellers. Through its slow production and artistic extension, it could be easily rejected by fans for a long time, as happened a few years ago with Jawbreaker, who my dear Initially was a commercial volatility and many fans were interested in it for a long time for its cleaning and singing.

Colle tells the story of AFI through them, including interviews with band members and experiences as a long -term fan. It is an effective mix, especially for the band that takes root its life in its relationship with its fans. The story from AFI’s point of view will look somewhat unilaterally in this case.
What will be the rise of the villain band without a violent reaction? AFI’s advanced voice entered some of the first adopters, but more fans were on board, and the band’s goal was to reach the largest possible number of fans. While there are a lot of crash and burning stories from the bands that have built sincere follow -ups on the ground, it is refreshing to see a group that defies the possibilities but does not become a self -fight in this process. AFI deserves their flowers to create it and avoid the sticks of those who came before to grow a long -term profession.
