AFI (band)

The Offspring covered AFI's Totalimmortal (All Hallow's EP) for the soundtrack of Me, Myself & Irene (2000). It got a fair amount of radio play, and helped in exposing AFI to larger audiences. The lead singer of The Offspring, Dexter Holland, at the time owned the label to which AFI was signed (Nitro Records), and was featured as a backing vocalist on a number of Black Sails in the Sunset tracks.
