Punk Singles Collection, The - Anti Pasti

Advantages: A totally brilliant album.
Disadvantages: Less of the original rebellious Anti-Flag present here.

...ANTI-FLAG - This band stems right back to 1983 where they were nothing but a garage playing band, since then they have changed and evolved until 1993 when the band finally began to make some real progress. Since then there has been several changes to tew bands make up. Anti-flag are a political punk band expressing their strong views thought their music. The band have managed to stir up attention for them selves from the very beginning of their career. Simply the name Anti flag has caused problems, many believing it means Anti America, not Anti War.
