Sometimes everywhere you look, red white and blue... everywhere you look they’re just fooling you. The connections between The Terror State and our home town of Pittsburgh, PA are endless. We wrote and recorded the record here, the themes and agendas of the songs hearken back to the anti-war movement in our city, the battles against injustice and steeped history of activism in the roots of Pittsburgh. In an effort to support some of our city’s most inspiring Black-run organizations, we are holding this raffle for out-of-print copies of The Terror State! Raffle tickets + full info is available at A-FRecords.com. Winners will be chosen and e-mailed by July 23rd!

BAND: ANTI-FLAG

COUNTRY: USA

EN: I clearly remember when I first listened to them. It was during my early college years, like 14 /15 years ago and I went to my friend Luca's house. We were playing together at that time in our very first punk band. I was there during a sunny afternoon and then he brought out this cd and there were to many things that a 14 years old punk kid is almost obliged to fall in love with: 1) The name of the band: what could sound more punk than call a band “anti-flag”? 2) the artwork:  Policemen with weapons in their hands 3) they were on fat wreck chords 4) there was a song named: “this machine kills fascists...at that point I was in love even before my first listening. Then he put the cd in the stereo, I was enjoying the sound but that voice was not convincing me very much but at least they were playing songs that I could cover in my bedroom and I was loving the bass lines. Years after, when Luca stopped listening to punk sold me that cd and obviously I still have it. The album after “Underground network”was “The terror state” and that is my favorite album of them; more aggressive, more fast and some more songs where the Chris 2 (the bass player) sings and I really like his voice. I really loved that album and it remained in my cd players for weeks every morning on the bus going to school. In that period I started focusing on lyrics and understanding them better and I was always liking their messages: Anger, rebellion, hope and resistance were my daily bread (well, at least they still are). After that, my musical taste was going in direction of hardcore, faster and angrier sound as they become more melodic so when “for blood and empire” came out, they started to came down in my personal band toplist (anyway way, that album is very good). In the last 10 years, in my opinion they have become the modern version of The Clash, because of the sound and the kind of message that they spread and even if I don't listen to them very often, is a great compliment eh, the clash you know, they have been milestones of a revolution for thousands kids. The very first time I saw them it was at Groezrock 2012, I always saw that they were cool on live videos but seing them live is another thing. They are a really great live band, constantly running jumping around and dealing with the crowd. Then I saw them opening for Bad Religion in Bologna...is never easy to open for them because they are gods and I never saw them playing bad live but anti-flag did their job well, the crowd was excited and for the last song they came playing in the middle of the pit, a thing that you don't see often from well-known bands but they've always stayed on the same ground with their fans and I really admire this attitude. Last time I saw them was at punk rock holiday and there they are like idols, the show was really wild and they will play there this year too so probably it would be cool as well. A big thumb up for them that always stand for the people and play many benefit shows around to promote people rights and spread a message of strength and hope, last of those were the anti-Trump manifestation in DC, they brought hope to people in a very dark day. Is not very much, but at least is a really good contribute

IT: Mi ricordo chiaramente quando ho ascoltato per la prima volta loro. E 'stato durante i miei primi anni di liceo, 14/15 anni fa... sono andato a casa del mio amico Luca. suonavamo insieme a quel tempo nel nostro primo gruppo punk. Ero lì durante un pomeriggio di sole e poi ha tirato fuori questo cd e c'erano molte cose delle quali un punk di 14 anni è quasi obbligato a innamorarsi: 1) Il nome della band: cosa potrebbe sembrare più punk di chiamare una band "anti-flag"? 2) La copertina: Poliziotti con le armi in mano 3) erano sotto Fat Wreck Chords 4) c'era una canzone di nome: "questa macchina uccide i fascisti” ... a quel punto ero innamorato anche prima del mio primo ascolto. Poi ha messo il cd nello stereo, mi stavo godendo il suono, ma quella voce non era convincente, ma almeno loro stavano suonando canzoni che potevo suonare nella mia camera da letto e mi piacevano una sacco le linee di basso. Anni dopo, quando Luca smesso di ascoltare punk, mi ha venduto quel CD ed ovviamente l'ho ancora. L'album dopo "undergound network" era "the terror state", che è il mio album preferito loro; più aggressivo, più veloce e alcune altre canzoni in cui il Chris 2 (il bassista) canta e mi piace molto la sua voce. Ho amato molto quell'album ed è rimasto nella mio lettore cd per settimane ogni mattina sul bus andare a scuola. In quel periodo ho iniziato a concentrarmi su testi e la loro comprensione migliore e mi e i loro messaggi mi prendevano molto: rabbia, la ribellione, la speranza e la resistenza erano il mio pane quotidiano (beh, almeno lo sono ancora).Dopo di che, il mio gusto musicale stava andando in direzione verso hardcore, più veloce e il suono più arrabbiato man mano che loro diventarono più melodici così quando "for blood and empire" è venuto fuori, hanno cominciato a scendere nella mia toplist delle band  (comunque, l'album è bello). Negli ultimi 10 anni, a mio parere, sono diventati la versione moderna di The Clash, a causa del suono e il tipo di messaggio che diffondono ed anche se io non li ascolto molto spesso, è un grande complimento eh, THE CLASH, sono stati pietre miliari di una rivoluzione per tantissimi ragazzi. La prima volta che ho visto loro dal vivo era al Groezrock 2012, ho sempre visto che erano fighi su video live, ma vederli dal vivo è un'altra cosa. Sono davvero una grande band dal vivo, costantemente correre, saltare in giro e coinvolgere la folla. Poi ho visto aprire per Bad Religion a Bologna ... non è mai facile da aprire per loro, perché sono degli dei e non li ho mai visto suonare male dal vivo ma Anti-Flag hanno fatto il loro lavoro bene, la folla era eccitata e per l'ultima canzone vennero a suonare in mezzo alla gente, una cosa che non si vede spesso da band ben note, sono sempre rimasto sullo stesso terreno con i loro fan e ammiro molto questo atteggiamento. L'ultima volta che li ho visti era al punk rock holiday 2015 e la sono come idoli, lo spettacolo è stato davvero selvaggio e suoneranno di nuovo lì anche quest'anno quindi probabilmente sarà una figata. Un grande pollice in su per loro che si distinguono sempre per le persone e suonano a molti show di beneficenza in giro per promuovere i diritti delle persone e diffondere un messaggio di forza e speranza, ultimo di questi erano la manifestazione anti-Trump in DC, hanno portato speranza alle persone in un giorno scuro. Non sarà molto, ma almeno è davvero un buon contributo

Huge thanks to Justin Sane, Chris Head, Chris #2 Barker, and Pat Thetic for starting their The Terror State Anniversary tour in SF. After the show, I encouraged Pat to do this again 10 years after For Blood And Empire. He smiled and said, "We'll see." There were a few changes during the show itself: "Broken Bones" was dropped, "This Is The New Sound" was dropped, and "Drink Drank Punk" added in the drum-set-in-the-audience finale.

hey! Happy birthday :D and if you don't mind me asking about this. I was reading your 'about me' and I came across Pantheism. I'm not really getting what it is from the reading about it, but I really think i understand it. O; if that makes sense, sorry. But do you think you can try to explain it in your own words? Thanks. And have an amazing bday :D

hi thank you!!

it's 1 am here but basically i believe in the universe. because it's everything and we are in it and we are part of it and so is everything else that exists as far as we know and that is really cool and we can't even comprehend its potential and our potential and that is so intense
