In 1999,
Anti-Flag  is an American punk-rock band from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The band is well known for its left-wing political activism. Their current members include singer/guitarist Justin Sane and drummer Pat Thetic, who founded the band together; later members that joined include guitarist Chris Head, and singer/bassist Chris Barker, also known as Chris No. 2. Notable past members include bassist Jamie "Cock" Towns and bassist Andy Flag. Anti-Flag is also known for their advocacy of progressive political movements such as Greenpeace, Amnesty International, and the Occupy movement.

History

Early years (1988, 1992–1996)
Anti-Flag was formed in 1988 by singer/guitarist Justin Sane and drummer Pat Thetic. During the band's early years, various guitarists and bassists joined and left the band, including Justin's sister, Lucy Fester, who was formerly of the Chicago band Toothpaste. The band failed to solidify, disbanding after performing in only one show.
In 1992, Justin and Pat re-formed the band with Andy Flag as their bassist. A 17-song demo album called 17 Songs was released the same year.

First three albums (1996–1999)
In 1996, the band released their first album, Die For the Government, on New Red Archives. Andy Flag left the band mid-1996 because of personal disputes against Justin. After Andy's departure in 1996, Sean Whelan from a Pittsburgh band called the Bad Genes briefly filled in as their bassist. During this time, Sean was also playing in another band (57 Defective) with guitarist Chris Head, whom he introduced to Anti-Flag.

In early 1997, Pittsburgh guitarist Chris Head began filling in on bass. In late 1997, Jamie Cock took over as the new bassist, making Chris Head the second guitar, which Chris preferred. The current lineup finalized in 1999 when Chris Barker, also known as Chris No. 2, replaced Jamie Cock on bass.

In 1998, the band released their second full-length album, Their System Doesn't Work for You. The album contained all nine Anti-Flag songs from the 1996 Anti-Flag/d.b.s. split album North America Sucks, as well as 10 new unreleased songs. The band decided to release the album independently, and Their System Doesn't Work for You became the debut release for the band's own A-F Records.

In 1999, Anti-Flag released the album A New Kind of Army on Go-Kart Records/A-F Records. The album addressed topics such as abortion, political corruption, racism, fascism, troubled youth, police brutality, and unity amongst American youths. The cover art page unfolded into a poster featuring the phrase "Too smart to fight. Too smart to kill. Join now. A new kind of army." In addition to this, the band had a disclaimer at the bottom of its album cover, which said, "Anti-Flag does not mean Anti-American. Anti-Flag means anti-war. Anti-Flag means unity."

Fat Wreck Chords (2000–2004)
In 2000, Anti-Flag was invited to participate in Vans Warped Tour. During this time, the members of Anti-Flag met NOFX's Fat Mike, owner of the Fat Wreck Chords record label. This meeting formed a friendship between them that would lead to Anti-Flag releasing two albums on Fat Mike's label.

In 2001, Anti-Flag teamed with punk music producer Mass Giorgini to record the album Underground Network, released on Fat Wreck Chords. The album's release is arguably the moment that made Anti-Flag emerge from the hardcore underground to more of a mainstream spotlight. The album addressed the issues of fascism (specifically neo-Nazis infiltrating the "hardcore scene") and the United States' foreign policy. The album was the first of theirs to contain the now-commonplace booklet filled with essays from historians and political commentators, most notably Professor Howard Zinn.

In February 2002, Anti-Flag released the album Mobilize on A-F Records. The album featured eight new studio tracks as well as eight live tracks of songs from other albums. In the wake of the September 11 terrorist attacks on the United States, Anti-Flag spoke out against the push for war with the album's title track "911 for peace". During this time, many music stores got took Anti-Flag's records off their shelves, as their music was labeled as "anti-American."
In 2003, Anti-Flag released the album The Terror State on Fat Wreck Chords. The album primarily focused on criticizing the Bush Administration's actions on the War on Terrorism. As before, the album held a booklet filled with essays by the band and other political commentators. The album contains a song called "Post-War Breakout" whose lyrics were originally written by Woody Guthrie. The track's music was arranged by the members of Anti-Flag, as Guthrie had never committed the arrangements to paper.

On October 8, 2004, U.S. Representative Jim McDermott gave a speech in the House of Representatives, praising Anti-Flag for their work in encouraging young people to register and vote.

RCA (2005–2009)
In 2005, Anti-Flag signed a two-album record contract with major label RCA. In an interview with British newspaper The Guardian, Justin Sane explained the band's move to a major label:

The first of these two albums, For Blood and Empire, was released on March 21, 2006. The album's main focus is the band's criticism of the mishandling of the War on Terrorism by the US government. The album's lead single, "This Is The End (For You My Friend)" is featured in the video game Madden NFL 07 and on NHL 07, strays from the theme of war and focuses on the troubled youth. They finished their "War Sucks, Let's Party" United States headlining tour in April and worked on some side projects such as the African Well Fund and Start to Finish MS now.

Throughout Anti-Flag's career, many other bands have been added to the roster of the band's own label, A-F Records. These bands include The Code, Pipedown, Much the Same, The Vacancy, The Unseen, Modey Lemon, Thought Riot, Tabula Rasa, and more.

On November 25, Anti-Flag revealed that their latest album was called The Bright Lights of America. Produced by Tony Visconti (of David Bowie, T. Rex (band) and Morrissey fame), it was released on April 1, 2008. The album's title single was released exclusively on iTunes on February 12, 2008. A video of the song was released some weeks later.

In 2008, on tour with Canadian band Billy Talent in Europe, Justin Sane and Chris#2 joined Billy Talent singer Ben Kowalewicz and guitarist Ian D'Sa, singing their new song "Turn Your Back" from their upcoming unreleased album. The two also play on the single version of the song.

In March 2009, Anti-Flag was forced to cancel a series of tours after Sane broke his collarbone at the UEA LCR in Norwich by jumping off the stage whilst trying to stop a fan of another act throwing objects at the band.

SideOneDummy (2009–2014)
On September 30, 2008, Chris#2 started posting on his blog that the band had begun to work on their seventh studio album. On December 2, Anti-Flag began to record their album, starting with "The Economy is Suffering... Let It Die".

On March 31, 2009, Anti-Flag announced that their next CD, The People or the Gun, would be released on SideOneDummy on June 9, 2009. The band recorded the album in a home studio they built themselves. The first track of the album "Sodom, Gomorrah, and Washington DC (Sheep in Shepherd's Clothing)" could be listened to on Anti-Flag's website. On May 1, 2009, the band performed a full set of The Clash covers at Hoodwink in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

In September 2009, Anti-Flag was slated to play a show during a G-20 protest that was taking place in their hometown of Pittsburgh, but the promoter canceled the show due to severe parking restrictions and police presence near the venue. Even so, the band continued to personally take part in the protests.

In November 2009, Anti-Flag showed their support to the protesting students in Vienna. They gave a speech at the main building of the Vienna University that the students had taken over and also had one of the student representatives speak at their two shows in Vienna.

In January 2010, Anti-Flag completed a full US tour supported by Aiden and Cancer Bats with various bands filling another supporting slot and local bands opening as many of the shows as possible. The tour was sponsored by Amnesty International, Peta 2, Greenpeace, and Innes Clothing (who supported a clothing drive for local homeless and youth shelters). The band followed the US tour with an Australian tour, playing the Soundwave Festival dates in February 2010, with bands such as AFI, Paramore, Escape the Fate, A Day to Remember, HIM and more, as well as playing two headlining dates supported by Alexisonfire and Comeback Kid.

Throughout mid-2010, the band playing various festivals such as Ruisrock and Woodstock en Beauce, as well as playing the few last dates of the Vans Warped Tour in August. September 2010 saw the band headlining a Canadian tour with support from the Menzingers, which was followed by the European Vans Off the Wall Music Tour in October, with supporting acts The Swellers and Pulled Apart by Horses.

The band made their live comeback in March 2011, while headlining a South American tour with This Is a Standoff, and then supporting My Chemical Romance on two dates in the US in April. In May–June 2011, the band returned to Europe to play the Slam Dunk Festival dates, as well as supporting System of a Down on June 2 in Milan, Italy.

On June 21, 2011, front-man Justin Sane announced that Anti-Flag is working on material for a new album, which they hoped would be to released later in the year, with working title of Magnum. Sane has also announced plans to record a new solo album in the coming future, as he's been working on some folk-oriented solo material as well.

The band released the album, The General Strike on March 20, 2012. The General Strike was recorded and Produced by Anti-Flag at their home studio. The band will be going on The General Strike Record Release Tour with The Flatliners and the Have Nots. They have released a lyric video for the song "1915" which is about Joe Hill.

In June 2014, it was announced that Anti-Flag were to release a new album titled A Document of Dissent: 1993-2013. The album, a compilation of their releases from 1993 to 2013, would be released on Fat Wreck Chords, the band's first release with the label since The Terror State in 2003. The album was released on July 21, 2014.

American Spring and American Fall (2015–2018)
On January 16, 2015, the band announced they would release their ninth studio album titled American Spring, via Spinefarm Records. The album was released on May 26, 2015. Later in 2015 Anti-Flag released a compilation album called Cease Fires which contains two previously unreleased songs from their American Spring recording sessions and twelve songs taken from their 20 Years of Hell EP series. It was released on December 18, 2015. In a 2016 interview, Chris #2 revealed that he doesn't read books. On August 14, 2017, in reaction to the events of the 2017 Unite the Right rally, the band released a song titled "Racists" to the Spinefarm Records YouTube channel. On August 18, 2017, the band announced a new album titled American Fall would be released on Spinefarm Records on November 3, 2017, by premiering a song titled "American Attraction" from the upcoming album on the band's YouTube channel.

In early 2018, the ensemble toured with Stray from the Path, The White Noise and Sharptooth.

From July until September 2018, Anti-Flag played with AFI and Rise Against in the Mourning in Amerika Tour.

20/20 Vision (2019–present) 
On October 4, 2019, the band released their song "Christian Nationalist", alongside the announcement of a European tour the following year. On the band's website, the song's meaning was explained by a quote from Justin:The website also provided a list of Republican politicians, along with sources indicating that said politicians had accepted large amounts of donations from the NRA and gun lobbyists for their support of many of the concepts that are explained in the quote, along with a list of mass shooting incidents.

Later that month, the band announced their twelfth studio album, 20/20 Vision, alongside the release of the song "Hate Conquers All" and the song's music video.

Name and criticism
Anti-Flag explained their name on the artwork for their 1999 release, A New Kind of Army, saying "Anti-Flag does not mean Anti-American. Anti-Flag means anti-war. Anti-Flag means the common people of the world are better off living in unity and peace. Anti-Flag means to stand against corporate greed that hurts millions while benefiting a handful of extremely rich. Anti-Flag means to fight against mindless nationalism. Anti-Flag means unity."

Anti-Flag's anti-capitalism stance drew criticism towards them when they signed to major label RCA Records in 2005, with some referring to the move as the band selling out. Anti-Flag defended themselves from the criticism by saying that signing to the record label was for bringing their message to more people.

Studio projects
Chris No. 2 and Chris Head are in a band called White Wives. They have released the Situationists EP on February 15, 2011, and released Happeners on June 28, 2011. The band and name was based on the Provo movement and The White Plans.

Wharf Rats, the new musical partnership between Chris No. 2 of Anti-Flag, Alexisonfire guitarist and Gallows frontman Wade MacNeil, The A.K.A.'s Chachi Darin and Minneapolis rapper P.O.S, was conceived on Warped Tour and recorded in the festival's traveling recording studio. Two songs emerged from those sessions: "Oh No!" and "Capital Gains". Both were pressed on a limited edition 7-inch single and released on May 31 via No Sleep Records.

ANTIFest
ANTIFest is Anti-Flag's own hosted festival. It took place on May 3, 2012, at The Forum at the University of Hertfordshire. The festival was the first self-established festival hosted by the band, who seek to maintain it as an annual event. On top of headlining the festival, the band personally chose all of the bands who appeared, some of which included other punk bands such as The Bouncing Souls, The Menzingers, Red City Radio, The Computers, and The Skints. The event also had volunteers from organizations including Amnesty International, PETA, and Emmaus providing information and a forum for debate and discussion.
ANTIFest 2013 took place at Backstage Werk in Munich on July 14 with support from ZSK, Strike Anywhere, The Computers and Apologies, I Have None.

Activism
Anti-Flag have been involved with activism throughout their musical career. This has included starting the activism groups The Underground Action Alliance, Military Free Zone (a group to protest a clause in the No Child Left Behind Act, which gave military recruiters automatic access to students' personal details) and The Bright Lights.

All members of the band are vegan, and are adamant supporters of animal rights. They have frequently been featured by PETA, and appear on the Fat Wreck Chords compilation album Liberation: Songs to Benefit PETA.

They have been involved in performing at multiple protests, including two in support of Rage Against the Machine.

They performed outside the Republican National Convention in 2008. They were not supposed to be the last band to play, but when officials found out that Rage Against the Machine were going to perform after them, they shut down the stage's power and Rage Against the Machine performed two songs using megaphones.

The band played an acoustic set at the Occupy Wall Street demonstration in New York City on October 8, 2011.

They also regularly support organizations which include:

 Democracy Now!, the latest headlines from which can be found on the band's homepage, ANTI-FLAG.
 PETA, who were one of the sponsors of their 2010 'The Economy Sucks Let's Party' tour.
 Amnesty International, to which the band donated money from the sale of The People and the Gun, have supported for a long time and who were one of the sponsors of their 2010 'The Economy Sucks Let's Party Tour'.
 Greenpeace, with whom the band worked in order to persuade world leaders to attend the climate conference in Copenhagen and who were one of the sponsors of their 'The Economy Sucks Let's Party Tour'.
 Useless, with whom they sold screen-printed limited-edition T-shirts to raise money for The Kandorwahun project, while raising awareness and visibility for Useless.

The band also showed their disapproval of fracking in October 2013, supporting the Clean Water Mob.

The band's song "Die for Your Government" was sung by anti-war protesters who briefly blocked a road to prevent U.S. troops from deploying to Iraq in August 2010.
They have appeared in the 2010 music documentary Sounds Like A Revolution, about new protest music in America.

Heta Himlen is the debut studio album release by the American electropop music artist, The Jellyrox.

The album's name is Swedish for "Hot Heavens."

Background
On January 21, 2012, Langston first hinted at the album via a YouTube video on Eleventyseven's official channel in which he showed fans a bridge to the song that would become "All My Bones."  He also proceeded to release an album of photos on Facebook entitled "The Recording of Heta Himlen" on March 18, 2012.  The album debuted  via iTunes and Amazon.com on March 20, 2012.

On May 21, 2012, Matt Langston did a radio interview about the release with Broken FM.  The interview was later published as a podcast and is now available for free download on iTunes.

Track listing

2013-present
On November 10–11, 2013, The Jellyrox posted live video footage on YouTube of him performing at his Embellish release party (which happened April 26 of the same year).  All of the song were from Heta Himlen.

On October 21, 2013, Langston announced via Facebook that Heta Himlen limited edition hard copies were in the works.  On January 16, 2014, The Jellyrox posted a new album cover for the limited edition hard copy release of Heta Himlen on his Tumblr blog.  According to the post, the release date was to be set for March, 2014.  The release came out under the indie record label, A Different Drum.  After a slightly prolonged delay, the release became available on April 8, 2014.

Live music videos

Notes
In the opening track "Glued," Langston humorously states, "Another day another dollar, equals seven bucks a week...yeah, nobody buys my music...they download it all for free."  An obvious pun at his project's independent state.
Though originally not available in physical copies, Heta Himlen was made available in CD form via the "Embellish Special" package on the Jellyrox store after the release of the 2013 Embellish EP.  It was recently taken down as of late November 2013.
Every song on the album is a second longer if you obtain it through The Jellyrox's Bandcamp account instead of iTunes.
Later, after the release of the album, Langston released the acoustic demo of "Closet Monster" on his SoundCloud account.
Besides being on the full album, the final track, "Closet Monster," was at one point available as a single on iTunes and Amazon.com.

2012 debut albums
Electronic albums by American artists
Electropop albums Another Story is the second and final album by the Scottish band Fiction Factory. It was released in 1985. The album was a commercial failure and featured no hit singles, despite the release of three singles the same year; "Not the Only One", "No Time" and "Standing at the Top of the World".

Background
Following the commercial disappointment of the band's 1984 debut album Throw the Warped Wheel Out, the band underwent a major change in personnel, as members keyboardist and writer Eddie Jordan, drummer Mike Ogletree and bassist Graham McGregor left the band. These departures left lead vocalist Kevin Patterson and guitarist Chic Medley as the two remaining members, who in turn hired guest musicians for the recording of the second Fiction Factory album, including keyboardist Paul Wishart, guitarist Pim Jones, percussionist James Locke and bass player Graham Weir. Medley produced the album, with Patterson as assistant producer, and both wrote the entire album's worth of material either together or solely (except "Lose Your Heart in Nature" which was credited also to Wishart). The album was recorded at The Planet, Castle Sound and Amazon Studios, Liverpool, while it was mixed at Castle Sound and Amazon Studios. It was mastered at Ham Audio. Another Story was released in 1985.

The album spawned three singles; "Not the Only One", "No Time" and "Standing on Top of the World". The closing track "Victoria Victorious" featured Fiona Carlin on lead vocals. All singles from the album received very limited promotion, with no music videos being made, nor any TV appearances featuring the band performing the material, except for one performance of "Not the Only One" on the German show Musik Convoy in May 1985. The band did perform a small number of UK concerts to promote the release of the album.

Shortly following the commercial failure of the album, Fiction Factory disbanded. After this, Medley worked on various musical projects and with numerous bands, while Patterson became briefly involved as a music producer before leaving the music industry to being working in the IT department at the University of Dundee. Aside from the lack of commercial success, Fiction Factory also felt they never managed to create something that was as good as "(Feels Like) Heaven", and that all they did was measured against it. Patterson later recalled: "We could never shake that one song." Years later, Patterson also stated in an interview that he wanted to record "Another Story" as an end to the band as he had had enough of music, living with stress and constantly writing songs, so he disbanded the group.

In 2007 the band briefly reunited, only consisting of Patterson and Jordan to perform "(Feels Like) Heaven" with a backing band at Jordan's wedding in August 2007. In 2011, the original band reunited to play live at the Rewind Festival.

Release
The album was released in Europe only and did not feature an American release. In Europe, the album was released through Foundry Recordings/Virgin Records, however in Germany the album was issued via Instant Records. For some versions of the album, marketing was handled by RCA Records (RCA Schallplatten GmbH), others both marketing and distribution was handled by Line Music GmbH. The album soon became out of print. Another Story was only released as a vinyl LP, except in Germany where Instant Records gave a limited pressing on CD. The CD release also became out of print and today is a collectors item, often selling for prices up to £500.

The CD version of Another Story featured two bonus tracks; "Not the Only One (Long Version)", which was the "Extended Mix" found on the 12" vinyl version of the "Not the Only One" single and "Let Me Be a Part", which was the "Not the Only One" b-side. Although both bonus tracks aren't listed on the album's back insert, they are listed on the disc.

For the majority of the album's editions, the artwork featured a purple-like background colour, however the artwork was changed for some editions and used a blue background colour instead, although the design otherwise remained the same. It is reported that the album's backing vocalist Marwenna Laidlaw is the woman posing on the front cover of the album. The photography was created by David McIntyre, who had also done the band's debut album. The sleeve was designed by myIDEA. The picture was taken in McIntyre's apartment in London. Patterson later recalled "We just asked David to come up with an interesting picture (which he did in his flat in London). We did not give him any ideas and we did not see what he was doing... he just presented it to us when he had finished."

Singles
"Not the Only One", the lead single from Another Story, was released in Europe, mainly the UK, Germany and Italy via Foundry Records as well as Canada via Virgin Records. It was issued on both 7" and 12" vinyl, with the 12" vinyl featuring an extended version of the song (titled "Extended Mix", but known as "Long Version" on the Another Story CD), and "Not the Only One ('Mix' Mix)", a remix which most notably removed all lead vocal.

The single "No Time" was released in the UK only via Foundry Records on both 7" and 12" vinyl. The single featured the exclusive b-side "Tension" however this track was not included as a bonus on the CD release of Another Story. The 12" vinyl release would feature extended versions of both the A-side and the B-side.

"Standing at the Top of the World" was released on 7" vinyl via Foundry Records and Centre Records in Australia only. "Not the Only One" was the B-Side.

Critical reception

On its release, Andy Strickland of Record Mirror described the album as "an unspectacular affair" and "one of those slick, dull works that seem to appeal to balding A&R men and nobody else". He added, "Fiction Factory are trying to capture the old ABC sound and feel, but they fail miserably. 'Contractual Obligation', somebody whispers. I concur." He picked "Victoria Victorious" as the album's best track, "largely because of the great vocal hauntingly delivered by Fiona Carlin". Donald McRae of New Musical Express wrote, "Another Story is an example of the kind of product which is designed to blend in with the quivering nuances of an intimate sunset gathering. Fiction Factory play music for young and sensitive ideal home owners who suspect Dire Straits of being crazed petrol-sniffing existentialists."
