Hi there. I got into AFI in 2003, when “Girl’s Not Grey” was getting big on the radio and TV. That was the first song I heard from them, and “Sing the Sorrow” was my first AFI CD. Before that, I was mostly bumping New Found Glory and Green Day, so uh…it’s safe to say AFI helped ease me into harder music. In fact, they’re probably the main reason I dug into more underground punk and hardcore. I’d say them namedropping bands like Jawbreaker, Snapcase and 7 Seconds as influences in random interviews kinda steered me in the right direction (for me at least!) musically, lol. I’ve been following them since and I’ll probably never stop.
