Anti-Flag
“Sky Is Falling”
American Spring
I’m proud as hell to be from the same time of this great punk band: yeah, Pittsburgh. Anti-Flag is maybe the last true punk band to carry on the political fury of the Clash. Their last album, American Spring, is a great, loud, wonderful indictment of all the evils that abound in this world of ours. Anti-Flag has never been afraid of taking an unflinchingly serious look at American government (and other evils). “Sky Is Falling” is a perfect example, calling the military and government to take responsibility of the devastation done by unmanned drones where thousands of innocents have been killed. All of this is done to a great, punk beat that makes you dance and think at the same time. Not many bands can do that: The Clash, The Dead Kennedys, System of a Down come to mind. Anti-Flag stands among them. Listen to them. I’m proud they are around.
