| Anti-Flag (Music) | comment |
Anti-Flag was an American Punk Rock band from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, known for their strongly politically-oriented lyrics.Formed in 1988 by vocalist/guitarist Justin Sane and drummer Pat Thetic, the band went through various line-ups, at one point including Justin's sister Lucy. By the mid-1990s, they consisted of Sane, Thetic and bassist/vocalist Andy Flag. Flag left after the recording of Die for the Government and was replaced by Sean Whelan, who was then subsequently replaced by Chris Head. However, Chris Head preferred guitar over bass, so the band expanded to four piece with the addition of bassist Jamie Cock. In early 1999, Jamie was replaced by Chris Barker (also known as #2) and the band has carried on with that line-up ever since, releasing their second album A New Kind of Army the same year. Another, titled Underground Network, followed in 2001.The band began breaking into the mainstream with their 2003 album The Terror State. Their peak of popularity came with 2006 album For Blood and Empire. However, it also had their old fans calling them sellouts due to being released by a major label (especially as Anti-Flag are known for their anti-corporate lyrics). Even more backlash was aimed at their second major album, The Bright Lights of America due to some departure from their typical musical style. This album also completed their contract with RCA Records, so they subsequently moved to another independent label, SideOneDummy, and released The People or the Gun and The General Strike in 2009 and 2012 respectively. Their last three albums, American Spring, American Fall and American Reckoning have been released through Spinefarm Records.In 2023 they announced that they were disbanding while in the middle of a tour, following allegations of sexual assault against the frontman Justin Sane. | |

Step Up to the Microphone | |
| Anti-Flag (Music) / int_51f90774 | comment |
Step Up to the Microphone: Justin Sane sings most of the band's songs, but current bassist Chris "#2" Barker and a former one Andy Flag also had their fair share of lead vocals, both pretty much creating a Vocal Tag Team with him, either switching vocals with each next song, or (especially in Chris' case) sharing leads on the same song. Drummer Pat Thetic provided spoken vocals for "Anatomy of Your Enemy". | |
