Anti Flag
Anti-Flag is a punk rock/hardcore punk band formed in Pittsburgh during 1993. 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.
Although Anti-Flag formed seven years ago, its origins go back to 1988 when guitarist Justin Sane and drummer Pat Thetic -- the only punk rockers in Glenshaw, Pennsylvania -- got together. After playing in several different bands and taking a trip to the West Coast, the two found themselves back in Pittsburgh and decided to get serious about putting together a band. The result was Anti-Flag. Over the next few years, second guitarist Chris Head and bassist Jamie Cock joined up and since then they've been all over the U.S. and Canada. According to Sane, "Aside from trying to make a positive change in the world through our message, I think the real fuel for what we do comes from the kids we meet who have the same troubles, concerns, and ideas that we have."

Artist Biography - Anti Flag
|
 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. One of the few bands boycotted after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, Anti-Flag's calls for unification and peace after the attacks were criticized. The band was soon labeled as "unpatriotic" and "un-American" by many, but Anti-Flag's resolve only hardened.
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.
