Better Know A Letter: A- Anti-Flag

I’m going to take the GREs and I was trying to think of ways to use the vocab words I’ve been studying… And so I introduce to you a new 26 part series titled Better Know A Letter where I use as many GRE vocabulary words starting with a certain letter as possible to describe a band. We’ll see if I actually get all the way to Z.

This assiduous band seems to approach each song with an alacrity which does not abate. I don't mean to shower the band with approbations but I've always had an affinity for the often obnoxious and immature aesthetic of punk. Anti-Flag is considered analogous to other political punk bands such as The Casualties or Propagandhi and an antecedent to bands like Rise Against. Their sound, while sometimes astringent, is great when I need something loud and fast to pick me up later in the workday.
