Remember when AFI was a hardcore punk band?
Not many will remember this because they didn't write pop-punk songs that were played on the radio. Sell-out is over used, but in this case, it might be appropriate. Its hard to remember another case of a band making a greater mid-career about face. AFI's latest effort is more pop-goth than pop-punk, ascetically they are similar to when Evanescence first came out. If you are curious check out AFI's early albums "Answer That and Stay Fashionable" or "Shut Your Mouth and Open Your Eyes." There is a remarkable difference between the MTV audience's impression of AFI and the original sound of AFI....In fact some where out there - maybe in hell - I'm convinced AFI's soul is being held ransom.
#FIVE
AFI - "Love Like Winter"
One day I'm going to devote a whole article to Nirvana, but until then, I will throw this out there: Nirvana is probably the best rock band ever, and I never even liked the 'grunge' scene.
#FOUR
Nirvana - "Rape Me"
#THREE
Nirvana - "Lithium"
Did you realize February is Black History month?
Probably.
Well in honour, please welcome my boys:
