Anti Flag
A Benefit for Victims of Violent Crime
A-F Records
Anti Flag have never been a band to shy away from the big issues and the latest EP from the Pittsburgh-based punk band proves to be no exception to this rule.
As Anti Flag explains in their liner notes, violent crimes are too often written off as senseless acts when in fact there is often underlying social reasonings for such events.
Anti Flag see their new release as something that can not only raise money for a good cause but also to get people thinking about the underlying issues behind violent crimes that have touched the band personally through the death of Chris #2’s sister and her boyfriend.
The release includes five new and five live tracks. The new tunes express the feelings felt by many young radicals growing up in today’s world, of hate of the established order, the need for radical change and a certain hopelessness felt by those fighting for change. This sentiment can be seen in “no future”, “anthem for the new millennium generation” and “No Paradise”. “Corporate Rock still sucks” describes the many downsides of work in a corporate world.
The live tracks include tracks from their last few albums which have become crowd favorites during their hectic live show schedule over recent years including no borders, no nations, one trillion dollars and 911 for peace.
