I hate seeing half the comments on anti-flag videos nowadays. Punk isn't about the music you play or listen to, its not about what you wear or what you say. The whole concept of Punk is to do what you like, whenever you like regardless of what anyone says or does about it. Punk is about you as an individual living your life the way you want to.
They sound different. Yes they are not as punk as they were in previous albums but you know what? this is still beautiful. the message in this song is strong and good. Anti Flag sounds different but thats the thing they evolved as musicians and songwriters. they have gotten more experience and They sound more mature. Bands always starting sounding different over the years and thats not bad at all.
tito777kazzi Don't mind the idiots whining because they aren't "punk enough" anymore. That's high school shit. If you like the sound and you like the message, then THAT is all that matters!
ItsOver90o0 If you're new to Anti-Flag then you should look into some of their older stuff. I consider The Terror State their best album, but some folks will swear by their way way older stuff like Die For The Government and A New Kind of Army. It's all great, in my opinion, but you should definitely check out The Terror State. Heck, even The Bright Lights of America was a solid album imo.
Craig Slist I liked Underground Nation best honestly, Terror State is ok, probably that and Bright Lights were my least favs tho....all opinion, he should check them all out. This song sounds like Billy Talent, he should check that out also...
Not their most punk sounding song but I think this might be a song where the message is more evident than any other ones they've written. I'm nervous this album may not be as aggressive and fast as ones in the past have been, but still stoked and excited to hear what American Spring brings.
I always play this song on my smartphone, and until now, it is on the top of my Walkman's MOST PLAYED list, because not only this song captured my heavy-rock senses, but always gets the message right for those who oppress the innocent ones. Good job, Anti-Flag! I hope there's an acoustic one for this. :)
I see my future straight in front of me, A super structure blown to smithereens. Its getting hard to hold to hope these days. (I know it's much too late!) Blasted lives lay in the debris. Blasted hearts where there once were dreams. Right now it's dark and this is just the start. I know it's much too late. In the blink of an eye... The sky is falling down! Falling down on me! Searching for a way out, But there's no escape. There is no past or future. I feel like I'm gonna drown. When the sky falls down, sky falls down... In disbelief wearin'a lost blank stare. "THERE IS NO HELP COMING, BEACAUSE NO ONE CARES, THE WORLD JUST SITS BY WAITING US TO DIE..." I KNOW ITS MUCH TOO LATE! Counter insurgent or insurgency? Religious, ethnic or sectarian seeds. Manipulation, born out of total greed. The sky is falling down! Falling down on me! Searching for a way out, But there's no escape. There is no past or future. I feel like I'm gonna drown.

Alexandre Botelho it really isnt that raw,but like I said, the message is punk as fuck. I believe that their sound is really clean now; the guitars are cleaner; the bass isnt as punchy, bright, or in your face; and Justin Sane's vocals are far from raw. After Mobilize they lost some punk element they havent gotten back. Nevertheless, I still love Anti-Flag and everything they've put out (to date).
Alexandre Botelho well its clean as far as punk goes. This definitely isnt straight up, punk rock. As much as I hate the label of "pop punk", Anti-Flag fits into that category (with bands like the Ramones and some songs by the Adicts, not that All Time Low bullshit).
***** the general strike was a great album, I just don't really listen to it as much as I should. I still love Anti-Flag to death, new stuff, old stuff, its all good. They definitely change, but they've never drastically changed for the worse (I still like their older stuff more but you get it).
HaremofScorpions Most? hardly. More like people who like cookie-cutter punk. The Bright Lights of America was their most musically advanced album to date, while holding true to their message.
More people need to listen to these guys to be informed about all the genocide that happens all around the world. Mabey a few brave voices will stand up for our generations.
I was exaggerating :), there are just very few paticualrly in the South West. Rise Against, Billy Talent, and Homeless Gospel Choir all suffer from the same lack of gigs in South West England :(
this is starting to sound like a pop punk album, but i do like the old lyrical content of anti-flag the faster music harder more punk style. its what anti-flag was and is so i am hoping the rest of the album is better but i will still support every album.
+Simon David Andres Repolt Lazo pies no suena a punk para absolutamente nada. suena a un rock reciclado, suavizado con tintes de punk en la lírica. No me digas a mi que es punk niño
yeah.. Billy Talent is generally a lot more hard hitting than this.. as Anti Flag usually is, also. I'm not inspired by this music at all, no chills, whatever. Where both Billy Talent and a lot of Anti Flag does, every time, years later.
too slow. its okay. but I will always prefer late 90's early 2000's but every now and again there will be a solid track or 4 from A-F these days, but this one didn't make the cut for me.
Dude you need to cool it! I've been listening to these guys for years! and own six of their t-shirts. I think I could say this song was okay. not my favorite. I have my own opinions you have yours, I would respect yours if you had one. Thats keeping the peace, but you had to be a shit head. You're probably a fresh fan to A-F and love them I get it. They kick ass. But negativity is unwanted you should know that BEING an A-F fan...

Tom Delonge was the man who taught me that, I watched his documentary 'Ernie Ball: the pursuit of tone' and he hit the nail on the head.
Agreed and hopefully in time people will come to realise it.
Dylan Kennedy It's everything about what you say, and what you do, especially now. Come on man, punk is about resistance; nothing more, nothing less.
Thanks Dylan, you are correct I think. But the cool thing about punk is that is can't be defined. Much love from Japan
there you're right brother.
I had the honor to listen to this LIVE yesterday. Such a madness!
All of us, including the band, had a really great time!

tito777kazzi Um, you must know nothing of Punk. You can't be more Punk than someone, and you can't be less Punk then someone You just are Punk.
altough i love their old albums, this is great too. Not as heavy/punky, still good!
they always write about what actually matters and that's a truly great thing
I bet chicken little be rockin out to this
God Dammit XD
Somebody give this person a medal.
You, sir, win 1 internet.
Awesome thanks for adding!!!!!!!! Anti-Flag rocks with such a true message if you listen or can comprehend.
New to Anti-Flag, so far though they seem great. Loving their stuff. I will definitely keep an eye out for their next album after hearing this.

American spring is their best album ever.. love anti flag
ANTI- FLAG COMES BACK WITH AN AWESOME BANG
Not their best song, but great message as always!

Please, anyone watching this. This era of antiflag is long since gone.
Just google the lead singer
I love Anti-Flag
Still love it, sadly they're sound isn't punk anymore- the message definitely is though. Fucking love Anti-Flag.
Molly Fox what doesn't make this punk to you? it's rather raw and simple. and the message is political. that sounds like punk to me.
Alexandre Botelho it really isnt that raw,but like I said, the message is punk as fuck. I believe that their sound is really clean now; the guitars are cleaner; the bass isnt as punchy, bright, or in your face; and Justin Sane's vocals are far from raw.

Molly Fox Agreed....sorry Justin but Andy Flag was best vocals for a Clash inspired sound...I still love the message and I love Justin by the way...
good song. im crying
I cannot wait for the album. this song has motivated me to sign a change.org petition to end drone strikes.
+Casper Howell Change.org is useless. Use the white house or uk paraliment websites to petition.
Sounds like Bright Lights Of America era Anti-Flag! Nice!
Scott Seabridge Most people would argue that that's their worst album.
HaremofScorpions Their worst album? Hardly.
HaremofScorpions Actually a big fan of that album
HaremofScorpions Most? hardly. More like people who like cookie-cutter punk. The Bright Lights of America was their most musically advanced album to date, while holding true to their message.
eXo x
Well most people I know. Also Underground Network is hardly cookie-cutter.
Fucking love it. New album will be amazing. Just saw these guys live last night as well. Such an inspiration
More people need to listen to these guys to be informed about all the genocide that happens all around the world. Mabey a few brave voices will stand up for our generations.
I like in the video how the drone disappears for a second, it's like.. dude, you cant censor that shit forever!
After Vices, I'm surprised they made another song close to 5 minutes long.
Really wish they played more than one gig in England on this tour.
They're playing 3, there might still be some tickets for their old blue last gig
I was exaggerating :), there are just very few paticualrly in the South West. Rise Against, Billy Talent, and Homeless Gospel Choir all suffer from the same lack of gigs in South West England :(
SETTINGS >> SPEED >> 1.5
Song fixed. You are fucking welcome.
Defenitelly Billy Talent inspired.
Nunoski Orange Haha i was thinking the same thing
electrickid2 l0l
Nunoski Orange I see what you mean now. Seems very Billy Talent inspired.
Falling leaves, falling leaves?
Surrender?
Hi the music is good
guess i will have to listen to more zsk now till the new album comes out.
not their strongest stuff, but definitely better than 99% of Bright Lights, and a lot of other stuff scattered around in their discography
Nice!
Agree with every single word.
this is starting to sound like a pop punk album, but i do like the old lyrical content of anti-flag the faster music harder more punk style. its what anti-flag was and is so i am hoping the rest of the album is better but i will still support every album.
Sound is clean, Message is clear, and bring back the 90`s. yeah lets sing along
This song goes out to Omran.
You can hear how they were inspired by the clash
It seems like their old songs containes much more energy
The irony of 'punks' trying to label and say whats punk and not punk
This isn't my favourite that I've heard, lyrically sound, but not majorly into it. I prefer Fabled World & Brandenberg Gate ♥
i don't know why but it reminds me of Rise Against..
anyway great song!
Actually Rise Against reminds me of Anti-Flag considering Anti-Flag came first :)
This is real punk unlike band like blink 182 and sum 41
hummmm...i realy like this band but calling that "REAL punk".. listen to the exploited, this will be real punk
Shut the fuck up. lol. You don't even know what real punk is.
Technicaly this is all post punk soo you dont know what real punk is
true true
Fuck the Exploited. Fucking associating with Fascists, then playing dumb. Fuck 'em
suena a un simple rock extraño
+Simon David Andres Repolt Lazo pies no suena a punk para absolutamente nada. suena a un rock reciclado, suavizado con tintes de punk en la lírica. No me digas a mi que es punk niño
This is a dirty ass song. I love it!
Sounds like I watched you change by deftones
Does this sound like Billy talent to anyone else?
and people say punks dead
Always Cry Wolfnessly
Hopefully the rest of the album is better than this. As always the lyrical content is great but the musical content on this song is pretty bland.
HaremofScorpions Billy Talent for ya.
HaremofScorpions I think this song is pretty sick. Best one they've released so far IMO.
Nunoski Orange It does sound like them. Like really really similar....
Nunoski Orange I hope you are kidding...While this song sounds Billy talent inspired, Billy Talent actually does have pretty good musical content
yeah.. Billy Talent is generally a lot more hard hitting than this.. as Anti Flag usually is, also.
I'm not inspired by this music at all, no chills, whatever.
Where both Billy Talent and a lot of Anti Flag does, every time, years later.
The lyrics are on point as always but the sound is meh, hope their album is much better sounding
too slow. its okay. but I will always prefer late 90's early 2000's but every now and again there will be a solid track or 4 from A-F these days, but this one didn't make the cut for me.
Ben Pyle I bet the band doesn't give a fuck how you feel about their song. You're the lowest common denominator.
Dude you need to cool it! I've been listening to these guys for years! and own six of their t-shirts. I think I could say this song was okay. not my favorite. I have my own opinions you have yours, I would respect yours if you had one. Thats keeping the peace, but you had to be a shit head. You're probably a fresh fan to A-F and love them I get it.

Well at 1.25 speed it really sounds better
Google Libertarianism
And still no songs about trump yet?
If you dare speak about it, you end up dead or censored
Yeah I like Anti Flag but this sucks...
what?
this is not punk
Such pessimism.
