For 27 years, Anti-Flag have gone beyond being just a band. They’ve drawn attention to themselves by delivering specific political messages in a bold way. From highlighting former President George W. Bush’s controversies in 2004 with a compilation disc, Rock Against Bush, Vol. 1 and 2, to denouncing the Trump administration on 20/20 Vision earlier […]
