So just because they got signed to a big label your gonna hate them now. This doesn't mean they are gonna change their beliefs in what they stand for. Why don't you wait till a new album drops before you make stupid stereotypical comments like the one you just did.

yes. tell me one band that was soemwhat small for a while then signed big and didnt change their sound.

it doesnt matter. it is supporting a big coperation. it is what they say they are against. not like they werent in every record store as it was on fat. (fat not that great of a lable either, got some stories about them...).

So tell me what exactly are they against. I'm pretty sure it's bush and all that shit overseas. I'm sorry but I don't think a big record lable is on the top of their list. Plus this kidn of exposure would help there cause out even more.

they are pretty much against all big companies, hence against large record lables that are in the BUISNESS TO MAKE MONEY. music isnt supposed to be a buisness. it is a message.

you have a point there but here is a sutuation for you. your goal is to be really rich, in order to help develope somthing to help out the environment. you coudl easly steal to get the money you need for your project/whatever it happenes to be. does that make it right to do so?

Ummm. Elaborate on what you just said a little more. That is so extrmelely irrelative. But basically I don't think this would be something that Anti-Flag absolutely wants to do. They are just sick of the Bush administartion and everything that is going on overseas so they are trying to actually do something about it.

ok so here is how i was trying to relate that:
anti-flags main goal is getting their message out to people. but it is like they are stealing beucase their message is anti corperate, yet through their decisions of what they will do with their much, they are supporting a big corperation, and therefore it is like stealing becuase it is doing just what they said was worng.

i see what your saying, and there is a chance it could turn out ok, but my initial reaction is that they are carrying out exactly what they preech against.

Your point is valid, but you should just wait to see what they release before you jump to conclusions and start all the hating.

Did you read the page you linked to?

"To be frank, shit talkers will talk shit because that’s what they do… WE DO NOT GIVE A FUCK! We started this band to be heard, NOT to be controlled by petty people who want to tear down everything we attempt, instead of creating something of their own. We started this band to say what we want to say, the way we want to say it, for all to hear!

New label or not, Anti-Flag will continue to operate in that manner. We will continue to speak out against sexism, racism, and homophobia, as well as punk-scene elitism and superficial assholes. We will continue to stand against the mindlessness and dangers of patriotism, nationalism, militarism, fascism, and morally bankrupt neo-conservatives."

Anti Flag doesn't care what you think. Download it illegally and make up your mind, then you won't be "supporting huge corporations", or however you worded it.

And by the way, you are punk as fuck jaros...

I've always disliked Anti-Flag anyway, they are just followers that jump on the bandwagon. This is just them doing what they do best.

It wouldnt be so bad if it want for the fact that big corps like this change artists period just as jarros said. Every artists that signs big has a letter like that sayin we wont change blah blah blah. Its bullshit, RCA will say look you write this song or publish this song or sound like this or u will be dropped from our label.

I've never like Anti-Flag, but what I don't understand is why they aren't still on A-F? Didn't they start A-F?

another punk band signs to a major label, more kids get angry, same old story...

i can see both sides of the issue especially when dealing with anti-flag. They help out getting information to so many kids and young adults about grassroots organizations etc. etc and i say if this helps them reach out to even more then go for it...

ived listened to anti flag for give or take 9 years i think, im not too sure, and if they came out with a pro-capitalism lyric filled ablum id probably enjoy it just as much, and im a liberal freak...

ah well

ok, sorry about that, they had go kart as distro for a while. anyway the point was that AF records is the actual recording part of it, and fat, go kart, and now rca are the distributors. although who knows, maybe rca will be their recording now too.

yeahh i dont know. they always talked about indie media and thats what they always supported, always said fuck big busines and fuck big labels, so, this action completely contradicts what they have always said when forming, however, i will wait to see what the music is before i hate on it.

all bands who sign to big labels what ever were any good (less than jake, for example) suck once they sign big.
