The current lineup of Davey Havok (vocals), Jade Puget (guitar, since 1998), Hunter Burgan (bass, since 1997), and Adam Carson (drums, founding member) has been stable for most of the band's career. The band signed to Nitro Records in the mid-1990s, then to Dreamworks for Sing the Sorrow (2003) and Decemberunderground (2006), the latter of which reached number one on the Billboard 200.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSound and style\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAFI's early work was rooted in hardcore punk and skate punk.
