Making their debut at a local Pittsburgh radio station
in 1993, Anti-Flag got together
for the sake of responding to their disgust of religion, nationalism
and fascism. Justin Sane (Vocals/Guitar),
Andy Flag (Bass/Vocals) and
Pat Thetic
(Drums) bopped around their hometown much to the dismay of skinheads
while recruiting a following who proudly wore torn-up upside-down
flags as patches.
In 1997 after releasing a handful of singles, opening for their idols
the UK Subs,
the Exploited and the Circle Jerks
and a brief tour of the East Coast-which lead to the departure
of Andy Flag- "Die For Your Government"
was released. 20, 000 copies, four bassists and four North
American tours later, Anti-Flag gained their reputation of recapturing
the old school ethics of punk: fast, loud, obnoxious, and anti-everything
that ends with an "ism." Now a four piece, they released
"A New Kind of Army" in
1999 on Go Kart records, hoping not only to push their beliefs to
a wider audience, but more importantly, just to play out around the
world while flipping two fingers in the air to everyone they're against.
