Initially comprised of high-school friends, vocalist Davey Havok, guitarist Markus Stopholese, bassist Geoff Kresge and drummer Adam Carson, the Punk-Rock band AFI, A Fire Inside, first formed in the early '90s in their hometown of Ukiah, California USA.

Soon after forming they unleashed a couple of independent releases but they broke up shortly afterwards while the band members moved away to different colleges.
However, the group reunited to perform a successful live show that led them to drop out of school and to focus on their musical dream; they released a few independently EPs and in the summer of 1995 issued their debut full-length album, "Answer That And Stay Fashionable", on Wingnut Records.
The following year AFI signed with Huntington Beach-based Nitro Records, the label owned by The Offspring's Dexter Holland, who released in June "Very Proud Of Ya", soon after Kresge decided to leave the group for personal reasons, he was replaced by Hunter Burgan, -a.k.a. Steve Angel-.
Nitro re-released the band's first album in spring 1997 and in November of the same year, AFI put out its third full-length LP, "Shut Your Mouth And Open Your Eyes".
A year later, the California-based foursome released their "A Fire Inside" EP on Adeline and Stopholese departed to be replaced by Jade Puget.
The new line-up recorded "Black Sails In Sunset", issued on Nitro in May 1999 and followed it up with the band's first charting album, "The Art Of Drowning", it reached the #9 on The Billboard Top Heatseekers list and stuttered at #147 on The Billboard 200 Albums Sales chart.
The band's big break came when AFI hooked up with Garbage's Butch Vig; he produced "Sing The Sorrow" which was issued on DreamWorks in March 2003, the record soared to the #5 slot on The Billboard Top 200 chart and also hit the top 10 in Canada, spawning three Modern Rock smash singles: "Girl's Not Grey" peaked at #7, "The Leaving Song, Pt. 2" reached the #16 and the final single, "Silver And Cold", hit #7.
The next year, the band contributed a cover of Nine Inch Nails' "Head Like A Hole" to the soundtrack of "Grand Theft Auto San Andreas" and in the fall of 2005, an outtake from the "Sing The Sorrow" sessions called "Rabbits Are Roadkill On Route 37" was used in the "MySpace Records Volume 1" compilation.

AFI long-awaited and delayed seventh album, "Decemberunderground", was released in June 2006; the CD includes the first single "Miss Murder".
