Contributed by alex101. Posted by aubin on Friday, July 27, 2007 at 10:00 PM (EDT)

Anti-Flag have posted an update about their upcoming compilation as well as mentioning their plans for a new album.

The band has been preparing to record their next full length. They will be going into the studio to start work on that very soon, and you can expect that around spring 2008.

Prior to that, they will be releasing the aforementioned benefit CD. The record is titled A Benefit for Victims of Violent Crime and is due out October 02, 2007. It is the follow-up to For Blood and Empire which was released in 2006.

One time I sang Let Them Eat War by Bad Religion on stage with Chris # 2 (BR playing in the background) it was the greatest moment of my life.

The only acceptable version of the Vandals was before that asshat Joe Escalante started playing drums. (read: early 80's)

A-F are a pretty boring band these days

Someone (July 27, 2007)

Why can't the news about Anti-Flag ever be about them breaking up... shit, rumors alone would be good enough for me.

You're Dumb....

Windfall (July 28, 2007)

Agreed, and I liked Anti-Flag.

Smithy (July 28, 2007)

If only you weren't so far up your own ass to look past what label they're on eh?

jt (July 27, 2007)

they should just release there new album on A-F records just like the benefit cd. I still like anti-flag, it just kinda bugs me that an Anti-WTO band is signed to Sony. but hey, at least they arent on MTV.

Compromise is the death of revolution. so fuck off.

Someone (July 27, 2007)

are you serious? what are you, like 13?

CCSummers (July 27, 2007)

1. You seem to have taken a saying and put it where it has no relevance. If anything, "compromise is the death of revolution" enforces jt's comment.
2. While compromise hurts the revolution, there is no way it kills the revolution. I don't know what half assed revolution your talking about.

Someone (July 27, 2007)

i love how everyone assumes that comment was made by an idiotic/confused teenager in all seriousness as opposed to a weak attempt at a joke. after all, this is yellowcard country....

Someone (July 27, 2007)

you mean rca?

Someone (July 27, 2007)

Lolz

GlassPipeMurder (July 28, 2007)

"turncoat" was actually on mtv and that was when they were on FAT.

Evil_Dead (July 28, 2007)

How do YOU know?!

Someone (July 30, 2007)

It was on mtv.com but I don't think it ever made it on the channel.

Evil_Dead (July 30, 2007)

How do YOU know?!

Someone (July 28, 2007)

Is RCA under the Sony umbrella?
Either way, considering what they were given as an advance for their first record, my guess is that RCA's going to release another record to TRY to make some of that money back. And, they've been on MTV and commercial radio for years.

Someone (July 28, 2007)

RCA is under Sonys Umbrella rella rella rella rella

Citizen_Crack (July 28, 2007)

eh eh eh eh

Someone (July 28, 2007)

theyre going to get dropped, RCA spent alot of money on these idiots and they didnt sell for shit

they act like theyre trying to save the world when in reality they are just trying to make as much money as possible and live the highlife theyre rock star scum now

ask anyone in the real pittsburgh punk scene how much they hate Anti Flag not only as a band but as people, how they fucked over tons of people over the past fifteen years just to make money

fuck them

Someone (July 28, 2007)

the people that hate them in the pittsburgh scene are the people that are jealous of their success and don't know them well at all.

Someone (July 28, 2007)

I would agree with them getting dropped but RCA gave them sooooo much money just to sign that I think they're going to have to try to recoup some of it.

Someone (July 30, 2007)

Oh yeah, they're real assholes. They've been trying to make money for 15 years. That's why they were on New Red Archives and Go Kart and DIYing it with A-F for at least 6 years. You're an idiot.

NotPatriotic (July 28, 2007)

I just watched "This is England" and it is a great movie. Great music and great acting. It is sort of hard to watch in a Clockwork Orange sort of way but it is great. Fuck War and Racism.

Someone (July 28, 2007)

i saw that movie a few months ago, very good. very surprised by the quality of acting brought forth by the child in the movie.

also shows that all skins arent bad news.

good flick over all.

notfeelingcreative (July 28, 2007)

Like 90% of the bands who garner mixed responses on punknews, I don't think Anti-Flag are worthy of nearly as much hate or nearly as many people defending them as they typically get.

Does anyone else think that "She's my little go-go dancer" is the wierdest out of character song by any band ever?

Someone (July 28, 2007)

HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY! What do we want? FREE TRADE!

Someone (July 28, 2007)

this faggot shit is for niggers and the ps3 rules.

Someone (July 28, 2007)

Every Anti-Flag song:

Whoah-oh-oh "You are wrong, we are right, stop living your lives and do what we say" Whoah-oh-oh "There are no grey areas on any issues, stop eating meat / going to the bathroom / buying depleted Uranium" Whoah-oh-oh Snarl. "It takes a good 45 minutes to make sure my mohawk is perfectly symetrical with my ironic pink tie" Whoh-oh-oh. Snarl. Grunt.

Additional blatent literal lyrics that have no mystery or metaphor.

I still like some of their stuff though.

Amen to your entire comment except liking any of their bullshit faux punk crap

Someone (July 30, 2007)

Yeah, that's them alright. You can get them for the lyrics but the other stuff is just bullshit.

Someone (July 28, 2007)

It's political emo for 13-years old riot_grrrrrrls with hairy vaginas. (c) some Russian shithead (actually me)
"They're so pretty...mmm...I love blue-eyed kitty playing bass ^_^" (c) emo-grrrrl

Someone (July 28, 2007)

best AF release...is the split with the bouncing souls, it was the only thing anti-flag has ever done that wasn't half filler

BarleyPat (July 28, 2007)

That's a good split for both bands, as well as the NOFX/Rancid that came out around that time. Is it just me, or did Tim sound even drunker than normal on that one? Of the 4, I like the Souls split the best.

misterspike (July 29, 2007)

I loved those split releases ... but weren't they BYO?

Someone (July 28, 2007)

more like a benefit for their bank account

Someone (July 28, 2007)

oh yeah, i'm sure they will makes millions off of it

Someone (July 28, 2007)

they will make plenty off of this bullshit which is how they always made money: off of bullshit
