Anti-Flag Release 13th Album “Lies They Tell Our Children”

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania’s Anti-Flag have made it abundantly clear for nearly thirty years that their message and presence will always feel relevant at any given time. Never afraid to offer raw and unfiltered critiques on the failings of the modern political landscape, or position themselves across multiple genres, Anti-Flag are committed to constant evolution.

Now thirteen records in with their latest full length, Lies They Tell Our Children, released today via Spinefarm Records, Anti-Flag are re-emerging as energetic as ever. As the first official concept album in the band’s career, Anti-Flag meticulously address the greatest issues our world faces today, including the need for universal healthcare and environmental preservation. Lies They Tell Our Children is quite simply an album that offers the band’s boldest collection of songs to date.

“The approach we took going into writing this record was to trace back the beginning of these issues. To have a better understanding of how we can confront them and how little amount of time they have actually been in existence. What you will continually find is that all of these issues come back to a simple idea – putting profit above people. How did we get to this place where we have so much wealth inequality, inequality that only grew during the pandemic, while people were desperate? You’re rolling toward a trainwreck and meltdown when that’s the case. Extreme profits for a very few people; it is completely unsustainable, and is an important theme throughout the record.”.

Even in these trying times, Anti-Flag are committed to showing that hope and optimism are always possible if we are able to educate ourselves and come together. With the release of Lies They Tell Our Children the Pittsburgh punks are set to continue their artistic evolution and mission for revolution.
