Anti-Flag
Anti-Flag is a punk rock/hardcore punk band formed in Pittsburgh during 1993, with band members Justin Sane, Pat Thetic, and Andy Flag. In 1994, they signed to the New Red Archives label for their first album, Die for the Government, releasing it on September 12, 1995. In 1996-1997, they started their own punk rock record label called A-F Records,where they also released a few albums. Anti-Flag's music is comprised of a vast array of left-wing political ideals, and takes a strong stand against fascism and nationalism. Politically, Anti-Flag is comparable to LA's leftist Rage Against The Machine. Though Anti-Flag is controversial in the United States because of their political stances, they are very popular in Germany, Canada (Montreal especially) and other countries among anti-nationalist segments of the population. On October 8, 2004, U.S. Representative Jim McDermott gave a speech in the House of Representatives, praising Anti-Flag for working to encourage young people to register and vote. [1] Anti-Flag's current lineup includes: Justin Sane: Guitar, Vocals.Chris #2: Bass, Vocals.Chris Head: Guitar, Vocals.Pat Thetic: Drums.
