◇ image via WikipediaAFI
AFI is a Emo and Hardcore punk act. Their catalogue also touches Punk rock and Rap. Their sound grew out of Adeline Records, The Chain Gang of 1974, Nightmare Of You, Ten Foot Pole and Rancid. Those roots explain a lot about how AFI arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Alkaline Trio, Bad Religion, Good Charlotte, Unwritten Law and The Used, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Panic! at the Disco, Aiden, A Static Lullaby, Transplants and Tiger Army, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 48 connections around AFI, reaching back through Adeline Records and forward to Panic! at the Disco.
