So we managed to get ourselves into the secret Myspace show thrown for ANTI-FLAG. The band played a 45 minute set that was about 50% new material from their new album The Bright Lights Of America with the rest being crowd favorites. And a favorite crowd it was. It’s been a long time since we’ve seen seen that much crown surfing at the Kniting Factory. (more…)

ANTI-FLAG just announced they will be performing a Myspace secret show tomorrow night in New York City at the Knitting Factory. Want to go? Of course you do! It’s all ages and free. First come, first serve.

ANTI-FLAG have released information on their next album and follow-up to their last album For Blood And Empire. The new record will be titled The Bright Lights Of America and will see the light of day on April 1st on RCA Records.

The band has also just been added to the Give It A Name festival. The band gave punknews descriptions of what every new track on the album is about.

Tracklisting can be seen after the jump. (more…)

To co-incide with the release date (which is today) of their new benefit album for victims of violent crime, ANTI-FLAG have just posted a video of their performance of the song “911 For Peace”. It’s live footage of a concert recorded at Mr. Smalls Theater in Pittsburgh this past April.

ANTI-FLAG are gearing up for a new studio album in the new year. However in the meantime they are about to drop an EP on us on October 2nd. The EP is a benefit for victims of violent crime.

Earlier today we got our first taste of that EP when they posted a track called “Corporate Rock Still Sucks” over at spin.com. It’s a 1:51 minute blast of punk with all the fury and politics we expect and love from Anti-Flag. If it’s any indication of what the new material sounds like, we are in for a great set of releases from them in the next few months.

ANTI-FLAG will be releasing an album this October to benefit victims of violent crime on their own A-F Records. It will be a limited edition pressing of new and live tracks. The band put the album together for a cause that hits close to home. Their bassist Chris #2 recently lost his sister to a violent crime.

Bassist Chris #2’s family experienced the horror of losing of family member when his sister fell victim to violent crime, leaving behind a young daughter and son. We all have our own gut reactions when faced with tragedy. Anti-Flag’s was to put together this limited edition benefit E.P. in hopes it would help others who have gone through similar situations. The proceeds will be going to the The Center for Victims of Violence and Crime (www.cvvc.org) as well as educational bonds. “A Benefit for Victims of Violent Crime” features five new Anti-Flag studio tracks along with five live songs recorded at Pittsburgh’s Mr. Smalls this past April.

TOM MORELLO has been hanging around the NYC area a lot as of late. First we caught him at the Sony Offices performing some new songs from his upcoming project The Nightwatchman. Even more recently, he even popped his head into a recent ANTI-FLAG show at Irving Plaza and performed a song with the band. Together they covered Woodie Guthrie’s “This Land Is Your Land”.
