Anti Flag-The Terror State

In their fourth album Anti-Flag position themselves as punk's foremost peace activists.And with 2004's presidential elections looming large at the time of its release,the Pittsburgh quartet's delivery of The Terror State couldn't have been better timed.Aiming fourteen aural bombs straight at George W Bush,the group's music charge is heightened by the contagious sloganeering of mouthpiece Justin Sane.The song "Turncoat" is escorted by an infectious chorus which even the staunchest republicans will have trouble resisting.The declarative tune then makes way for alluring numbers like "Death of a Nation" and "Tearing Down The Borders".Judging by spirited,percolating items like "Mind the G.A.T.T" and "You Can Kill the Protester" Anti Flag's controversial messages are matched by volatile yet affordable arguments.Sure its never ending pretest tracks becomes redundant after a while but questioning the motives of world leaders through the form of punk is something that will never go out of style.
