Anti-Flag Coming Back to Canada this Spring
Considering that American politics seems to be revolving around that blow-hard Donald Trump right now, it makes perfect sense for Anti-Flag to get out of dodge and tour across Canada.
Today, the Pittsburgh punks announced a run of shows that kick off on April 28 in Vancouver and finish on May 14 in Toronto.
“I’m most inspired by the kids who come up and tell me [about a song’s] meaning. The kids, however, are not going to be in the room if the music doesn’t connect with them at some level,” said Anti-Flag drummer Pat Thetic in a 2015 interview with Riffyou.com. “The other day, a kid came up and said, ‘Last time I saw you, you said I should start playing drums. Now I have a band!’ I thought that was fucking awesome! On some level, [that fan] connected with the music and on some level he connected with the DIY ethic of creating it yourself, and on some level he connected with the politics.”
