INTERVIEW: Anti-Flag
by WILL PORTER

INTERVIEW: Angry US punk rockers ANTI-FLAG sing about political justice and human rights. They demand that you stand up and listen.

“The politics, for me, are more interesting than the music.”

This is a fairly bold statement when you’re sitting in the middle of a music festival. It’s even bolder when you’re one of the acts.

For a musician, this might seem like confused priorities, but for Anti-Flag’s lead singer Justin Sane, as a political activist, punk rock is his weapon.

Ten years into their DIY career, US punk rockers Anti-Flag speak about music and politics with such confidence and enthusiasm that they come across as both veterans and fresh blood.

  1. IRS Persecution of Pasadena Ca.Church

    In my Forever War blog dated 060922 there is a link to
    an article about a church being investigated by the
    IRS for an Establishment clause violation.I have read
    the sermon in question,and find it to be a very well
    done criticsm of Bush administration policies.
    *
    There is one thing that is glaringly absent in the
    sermon.Nowhere in the sermon is there an advisory to
    not vote for G.Bush,nor is there an advisory to vote
    for J.Kerry.The sermon is a strong indictment of
    Bush admin policies,and nothing more than that.
    *
    I fear that this is an example of McCarthyist style
    harrassment of a church based soley on its liberal
    position.
    *
    Write your congressperson and request an
    investigation into the IRS’s action against this
    church.Below is the link to the All Saints Church’s
    website.Please read the sermon of 2004.
    All Saints Church Will Challenge IRS Summons

    The right to thought and assembly are central rights to our national identity.We must come to the support of any person or persons who are being harrassed by big government.
