AFI

In 2005, right before they hit the stage at Long Beach Arena, AFI was basking in the success of their album 'Decemberunderground,' which dropped just a year later. Their sound was evolving, blending punk roots with a polished alternative vibe, and 'Kill Caustic' captures their intense energy during this transition. Known for their theatrical performances, AFI was quickly becoming a household name, cementing their status with this electrifying live recording. Interestingly, 'Kill Caustic' showcases lead vocalist Davey Havok's compelling stage presence and lyrical depth, which resonated with fans. This performance not only highlights their dynamic sound but also sets the stage for AFI's future as they embarked on greater creative exploration in the years to come.
