Answer That and Stay Fashionable is the debut studio album by American rock band AFI. It was originally released on July 4, 1995 through Wingnut Records. It was re-released on April 22, 1997 through Nitro Records.[3]

Background

Answer That and Stay Fashionable was recorded in Hayward, California at the studio of Andy Ernst in 1995. It was produced by AFI, along with Doug Sangalang, Tim Armstrong and Brett Reed.

The tracks "Two of a Kind" and "Yürf Rendenmein" were re-recorded for AFI's second studio album Very Proud of Ya. It is stated in the album booklet that all of the tracks, excluding "Open Your Eyes", are copyrighted to Anthems for Insubordinates, the band's initialized name at the time.

The album originally included a hidden track, a cover of The Police's "Man in a Suitcase". This track is not present on the re-release, instead a cover of The Circus Tents' "Open Your Eyes", originally released in an alternate mix on the Fly in the Ointment EP in 1995 is included.
