Quotes about AFI

• AFI have done a lot for the post-hardcore scene as a whole, but cracking into the mainstream with “Miss Murder” is a massive achievement. The song had all of the makings of a radio hit, with a massive chorus, driving bassline and simplistic nature to capture the attention of people in and out of the know on bands playing this style of music.
