Like many punk rock bands of the \u201880s, Anti-Flag\u2019s beginnings were challenging to say the least. Centered around singer\/guitarist Justin Sane along with drummer Pat Thetic, the Pittsburgh PA group went through numerous line-up changes in their early days and even called it quits after their very first gig. But the fire inside Sane and Thetic refused to die, and they eventually reformed with a new member, bass player Andy Flag, who helped solidify the group and bring about the band\u2019s very first recordings, a collection of rough demos called\u00a017 Song Demo<\/em>, which the band promptly put on cassette tape and self-released. The gambit paid off soon enough as the group would be signed to Bay Area punk label New Red Archives who issued their debut\u00a0Die For The Government<\/em>\u00a0and the rest, as they say is history.\u00a0

Those early demos have remained in the vault since the early \u201890s, a testament to the band\u2019s perseverance and humble beginnings, and have become the stuff of legend. But now the band is ready to make these tracks available for the first time ever on CD and vinyl, re-issuing\u00a017 Song Demo<\/em>\u00a0in all its raw, rough-around-the-edges glory. Hear the band\u2019s early versions of the songs that were re-recorded for their debut album, classics like \u201cDrink Drank Punk,\u201d \u201cF*ck Police Brutality,\u201d and \u201cRed, White & Brainwashed\u201d PLUS 10 songs that never made it onto any album! The collection also includes a special 18th track – a ferocious cover of Mission Of Burma\u2019s \u201cThat\u2019s When I Reach For My Revolver,\u201d which is being released today on all digital platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
