AFI with Choir Boy
About This Event
AFI brings its decades-long arc from early hardcore and horror-tinged punk toward post-hardcore, emo and darker alternative rock to a bill at Starland Ballroom alongside Choir Boy. The lineup foregrounds atmosphere and vocal focus over spectacle: AFI's tight construction and emphasis on mood paired with Choir Boy's synth-leaning arrangements and frontperson-led delivery, where texture and tempo shifts carry the narrative.
