Altsounds - Anti-Flag- For Blood and Empire

Anti-Flag- For Blood and Empire

Pittsburgh’s own Anti-Flag help to bring politics back to punk rock as the foursome release their major label debut, “For Blood and Empire” on RCA Records. Yes it’s on a major label, and no- you shouldn’t give a shit. If you think that the signing to RCA will have automatically forced Anti-Flag to water down their message for the masses- you’re completely wrong.

Using their major label signing as a vehicle to reach and hopefully reverse the ignorance of the mainstream, Anti-Flag take every opportunity available to tackle issues including White House fact dodging (track 2- "The Press Corpse"), the mass expense of weaponry manufacturing worldwide (track 7-“$1 Trillion Dollars”), and what many consider to be the next agent orange (track 13- “Depleted Uranium Is A War Crime”) which even features guest musician Tom Morello (Rage Against The Machine/Audioslave) on guitar!

A stellar release from one of the best politically charged bands of the day, “For Blood and Empire” is definitely worth a listen.
