Hailing from Ukiah, California, the members of AFI (A Fire Inside) met in high school. After some line-up changes early on, the band has featured members Jade Puget, Hunter Burgan, and original co-founders Davey Havok and Adam Carson since 1998. Stomping onto the hardcore scene, AFI’s early albums are now essential listening for any fan of punk and alternative music. The Art of Drowning appeared on various Billboard charts and their AFIset made it all the way to the #4 spot on Billboard’s Top Independent Albums chart.
