Before 2006, AFI had a very solid 'indie' career, spanning all the way back to the early 90s. They were massive with the 'cool kids' and had built an expansive underground following. So when the mainstream conscious moved to the world their sound lived in 2006, their scene exploded.

2006 was an extremely fruitful year for AFI, however it didn't seem that they were intent on maintaining that presence. They've continued to tour and play to massive crowds, and they've dropped a couple of albums, but for the most part, AFI has ALWAYS marched to their own drums, and have continued to over the last ten years.

The most impressive thing about AFI, is that from the 90s, all the way through their success, and into today, the band has maintained the same lineup. THAT is something to celebrate in today's rock world.
