Anti-Flag Signs to Spinefarm Records + New Tour Dates
Pittsburgh’s Anti-Flag has just signed to Spinefarm Records, a label that originated out of Finland and now has offices in New York, the UK and Japan. Anti-Flag is mostly known for their political rantings encased in a fast, punk rock music package. They will be releasing a new album, American Spring, in May with their new label marking their tenth album to date.
American Spring was produced by AWOLNATION’s Kenny Carkeet, Jim Kaufman (Funeral for a Friend, Skindred, Helmet) and Anti-Flag. The album also features a cameos from Rancid’s Tim Armstrong on the track “Brandenburg Gate,” and from Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello on “Without End.”
The band released this comment:
“We are excited to announce that our tenth full-length record will be released on Spinefarm Records this spring. There is no shortage of fodder for a new record of commentary on the social and political climate in 2015: Endless wars, the new Jim Crow and American injustice, corprotocracy, environmental coup d’état, the surveillance state, loss, grief, and anxiety. We hope that these songs can grant us solace in a seemingly hopeless era. It has been frustrating to see much punk rock music -and music in general- quiet in the face of so many atrocities that are taking place around the world. This record is not quiet. If you are disillusioned with the status quo, these songs are for you. The American Spring is now.”
Spinefarm Records General Manager, Joan Nachsin, commented:
“Anti-Flag are a band with a message certainly, and in addition, the music is just as compelling. This album, our first with the band, is just incredible. While we are happy to help deliver it to their legion of devoted fans, our plan is also to extend it out to those who haven’t yet been exposed to this treasured act. We are proud that they chose us to bring on American Spring.”
