Country: USA

AFIは、アメリカ・カリフォルニア州出身のロックバンド。1991年に結成され、もともとはハードコアパンクとしてスタートしながら、ポストハードコア、エモ、ゴシックロックなどへとスタイルを変化させてきた。
初期は荒削りで速いパンクサウンドが中心だったが、作品を重ねるごとにメロディやダークな雰囲気を強め、独自の世界観を確立。特に2003年の『Sing the Sorrow』で一気にブレイクし、「Girl’s Not Grey」や「Silver and Cold」などの楽曲で広く知られるようになった。
その後の『Decemberunderground』では「Miss Murder」がヒットし、バンドとしてのピークを迎えるなど、メインストリームでも存在感を発揮。アルバムごとに音楽性を変えながらも、一貫してダークでエモーショナルな空気感を持っているのが特徴。
ゴスやニューウェーブ、ハードコアなど様々な要素を取り込みながら進化してきたバンドで、ジャンルに縛られないスタイルも魅力のひとつ。作品ごとに雰囲気が変わるため、同じバンドでも時期によって印象が大きく変わるタイプ。
初期パンクからメインストリームロックまで横断してきたバンドで、シーンの流れに合わせるというより、自分たちの方向に引き寄せていくような動き方をしている。
