Anti-Flag is an
American political punk band from
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, consisting of four members:
Justin Sane (lead guitar, lead vocals),
Chris #2 (bass, vocals),
Chris Head (rhythm guitar, backing vocals), and
Pat Thetic (drums). "Being the only punks in Glenshaw, Pennsylvania", guitarist Justin Sane and drummer Pat Thetic decided they were faced with either "hanging out at the mall, doing drugs, or playing punk rock", they chose the latter and Anti-Flag was born. Despite multiple line-up changes, political ideologies, and a strong following as an independent band, Anti-Flag gained popularity among the punk community, ultimately releasing six albums on various independent labels (ranging from
A-F Records, to
Fat Wreck Chords, to
Go Kart Records). In 2006, the band signed onto
RCA Records.
