#155 - Chris No. 2 (Anti-Flag)

Step into the mind of Chris No. 2 as he takes us back to the
origin story of Anti-Flag and what they have been fighting for
through music since the start. There have been countless moments
over the year where the band’s message became dangerous for the
members - fights at shows, death threats, and even seeing their
merch taken out of big-time stores, but the band never lost
focus. This group has been around for 30+ years now and although
the path hasn’t always been easy, like stated above, it has its
rewarding moments, such as connecting the fans and when Tom
Morello of Rage Against the Machine took notice of their music.
Chris No. 2 hopes for a moment where Anti-Flag doesn’t have to
exist anymore, but for now they are still creating music,
recently putting out a record in January labeled, LIES THEY TELL
OUR CHILDREN. The record had the likes of McIlrath of Rise
Against, Jesse Leach of Killswitch Engage, Shane Told of
Silverstein, and Stacey Dee of Bad Cop/Bad Cop. This one is worth
the listen as we dive into deep topics that need some focus.
