Anti-Flag

We recently had the chance to speak with Anti-Flag's rhythm guitarist and lead vocalist, Justin Sane and no, that’s not his real surname.

This should be required listening for our government during their cabinet meetings.

"Big issues remain on the agenda, the angst is as visceral as ever"

Wearing their hearts on their sleeves, their political messages still ring loud and clear.

Despite being funny guys, Anti-Flag’s outspoken views mean the punk band are often seen as “political robots”, drummer Pat Thetic tells Daniel Cribb.

It’s amazing how a band, whose primary subject matter has been the same for eight albums, can still produce fresh and original music.

Nothing spectacular, but a damn enjoyable return to punk rock form.

Anti-Flag have been one of the most outspoken bands in punk rock for over twenty years. Most recently throwing their support behind the Occupy movement in the US, Anti-Flag are about to release their ninth studio album "The General Strike", before hitting our shores for a headlining tour in May. KYS spoke to drummer and founding member Pat Thetic to talk politics, travelling the world and suspect vegan sushi. 

Proving that punk rock and politics can co-exist within mainstream culture, Anti Flag are here to get you thinking... and maybe have a little bit of fun along the way. Drummer Pat spoke with us about major labels, major shit talkers and opening for the most dangerous band on the planet...
