THE PEOPLE OR THE GUN by ANTI-FLAG (Side One Dummy Records)

Bush might be gone out of office but the influence of anger and frustration still hits punk bands. Waves of anti government, fighting for the people and sticking up for the poor are still anthems of Anti-Flag, even with this CD. With such new songs as On Independence Day and The Old Guard, you feel disrespect and freedom from the regime of the old ways the Bush government was. The record is up to date though with the songs The Economy Is Suffering… Let It Die, We Are The One, and The Great Depression. Anti-Flag has been telling things like it is and this CD proves that. Go see them and support the punk movement with them on this summer’s Vans Warped Tour.  (Jonathan D. Wright)
