ANTI-FLAG

[yousianiiatsix]

As you can probably tell by my signature, I'm a major fan of A-F
Some people say they've sold out, I dont think they have, their newest album was completely different from their others, because I think it was that they needed to break out, they needed to get some of their music into the mainstream.
They couldn't just stay underground forever.

and no, I'm not a 'punk'
You could say I am, by the opinions I have about the world.
Yes, I do want change, I do hate society, I do think the government is going down hill. I do think Gordon Brown is bad for the UK. I do have other opinions, but I dont think its the right place to say them
See, now I'm rambling on, when I really shouldn't.
haha

Hmm....

but yeah, any other A-F fans here??

many people do think they have sold out but i disagree. signing to a major label is not 'selling out' like most people think. aslong as when a band makes this decision, they stay true to theirselves then its fine. its common sense that if you can get your work out to a larger audience there is more chance you are going to get heard and people will listen. i hate it when people accuse bands like the king blues and anti flag of selling out just because they have signed to major labels, people know nothing. both thewse bands have told their labels that it is their music and they are only going to release records they have full control over, such as the music, lyrics, gigs, support acts for gigs, album artwork etc etc.


I love anti flag, seen them twice so far, bioth on the same day at reading last year, when they opened the mainstage then played the lockup tent later on. the 2nd set was better as it was in a tent and the sound was better, and also because their songs in their set was chosen by the fans, with a poll online, and they opened with a cover of i thought the law.

im seeing them again at mccluskys in kingston(my town, how good is that?) with the king blues, and maybe the next day at slam dunk if i can get guestlist/be bothered to trek to leeds
