While still in high school, Davey Havok (vocals), Mark Stopholese (guitar) and Vic Chalker (bass) formed a hardcore punk outfit called AFI in 1991. At the time, the band had no drummer and didn't know how to play any instruments. Stopholese suggested his friend Adam Carson, as he had a drumkit. Stopholese learned guitar, Chalker learned bass and AFI made their first foray in recording with the split-EP Dork (1993) with the now defunct Loose Change, which included future AFI guitarist Jade Puget. Chalker soon lost interest and was replaced by songwriter-bassist Geoff Kresge.AFI disbanded when its members attended different colleges, including the University of California, Berkeley and the University of California, Santa Cruz. Kresge moved to New York where he played with Blanks 77. After reuniting to perform a live show, the other members decided to drop out of college to play full-time with AFI.Between 1993 and 1995 they released several vinyl EPs (Behind the Times; Eddie's Picnic All Wet; Fly in the Ointment; This is Berkeley, Not West Bay; AFI/Heckle; Bombing the Bay) independently. Their first full length, Answer That and Stay Fashionable was released in 1995. The cover of Answer That and Stay Fashionable was a parody of the movie Reservoir Dogs. Very Proud of Ya soon followed in the next year.After several tours in support of the album, Kresge decided to leave the group. His spot was filled by Burgan for the remaining Very Proud of Ya tour dates. Burgan went on to help AFI record Shut Your Mouth and Open Your Eyes and was invited to become the full-time bassist. Eyes introduced AFI fans to a much more aggressive sound that included much more shouting as opposed to singing. The album is generally considered the first step in the band's progression away from their original sound.
