Anti-Flag will release their tenth studio album, American Spring, this coming May through Spinefarm Records. It will act as a followup to 2012’s The General Strike.
“We are excited to announce that our tenth full-length record will be released on Spinefarm Records this spring,” the band stated earlier today via their official website. “There is no shortage of fodder for a new record of commentary on the social and political climate in 2015: Endless wars, the new Jim Crow and American injustice, corprotocracy, environmental coup d’état, the surveillance state, loss, grief, and anxiety. We hope that these songs can grant us solace in a seemingly hopeless era.”
Jonas Nachsin, general manager of Spinefarm Records, shared in the Pittsburgh punks’ enthusiasm.
“Anti-Flag are a band with a message certainly, and in addition, the music is just as compelling. This album, our first with the band, is just incredible,” Nachsin said. “We are proud that they chose us to bring on American Spring.”
