Anti-Flag Sign to Spinefarm Records. Band to Release New Album American Spring in May
19-01-2015 17:35 CET ANTI-FLAG SIGN TO SPINEFARM RECORDS. BAND TO RELEASE NEW ALBUM AMERICAN SPRING IN MAY (New York, N.Y.): Spinefarm is thrilled to announce the signing of Pittsburgh's incendiary punk rock iconoclasts Anti-Flag, who have served as a constant voice of and agent for change by advocating peace and human rights through their tireless work with and support of organizations like Amnesty International, ACLU, Greenpeace, Planned Parenthood, Rainforest Action Network, PETA and more. Spinefarm welcomes the band to its worldwide roster. The band, which never has and never will shy away from issuing inflammatory, political statements encased in a fast, furious, and unforgettable musical package, will release American Spring, its Spinefarm debut and its tenth album overall, this May. The band last released an album in 2012 in the form of The General Strike. American Spring, produced by AWOLNATION's Kenny Carkeet, Jim Kaufman (Funeral for a Friend, Skindred, Helmet) and Anti-Flag, features a cameo from fellow punk legend Tim Armstrong of Rancid who appears on the song "Brandenburg Gate," while Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello is featured on "Without End." While Anti-Flag spent 2014 hitting stages at major international festivals such as Coachella (U.S.), Sonisphere (UK), Pukkelpop (Belgium), and Glastonbury (UK), 2015 will find the band as in your face as ever… as if anything less was possible. Given the state of the world in 2015, it's perfect timing for a new Anti-Flag record, which is full of fist-in-the-air, singalong anthems that represent the band's unique world view and which also serve as informed calls to action.
