Album Notes & Community Reviews

Before their evolution into goth-punk superstars, AFI's debut 'Answer That and Stay Fashionable' presented them as a scrappy, highly energetic Bay Area skate punk outfit. The album is incredibly raw, featuring rapid-fire tempos, juvenile humor, and direct stylistic nods to the East Bay hardcore scene spearheaded by Operation Ivy. It serves as a fascinating, high-speed glimpse into the formative years of a highly mutable rock band.
