Review: Anti Flag – “The Bright Lights of America”

Now we have something that I was really looking forward to, the brand spanking new Anti-Flag Album “The Bright Lights of America”- to be honest the first time I listended to this I thought, what the fuck?!, well more like “who the fuck!” its not a punk album and the sound is different, but not necessary worse then their previous albums. It’s almost as if they have actually taken music lessons and actually concentrated on their lyrics and these are half decent songs, but not the typical Anti Flag style.

 

The album kicks off with “good and ready” and fucking bad ass chantey song, listen it to it once and your guaranteed to be singing along next time, but what the fuck is this? Am I imagining this? No, there really is a chorus of children singing, almost like Pink Floyds one more brick in the wall, its good, it works. The impression I get from this album is that Anti flag have actually gone out of their to produce something different, and it works.

 

I like it, it’s a different sound, but it works, I can see a lot of people calling it shit, but fuck it, it’s a genually good album, is it punk? No, is it typical anti flag? No, but its good, approach it with a fresh view of a band that seem to be reinventing themselves.

Anti Flag, King Blues – 01/03/08

Oh Anti Flag with their ever so slightly cheesy ways, and the King Blues with their ever so erm, Hackney ways! We have posted for you’re viewing pelasure some photos of their joint show in Brumland. We arrived too late to see the other band, so no photos of them, oops. Remember, no takies without asking.

About time some bands started playing again! Nothing seemed to happen through those cold winter months. Here’s two videos for you…shot with the intention of making the sound poor quality. Hah. Enjoy!
