Anti-Flag Release New Single "The Fight of Our Lives" Featuring Tim McIlrath, Brian Baker
Anti-Flag have unveiled a brand new song, and accompanying music video, titled “The Fight Of Our Lives.” The track comes from the band’s forthcoming album, The Lies They Tell Our Children, which is set to be released on January 6th, 2023 via Spinefarm. The track and the video also features guest appearances from Rise Against’s Tim McIlrath and Bad Religion’s Brian Baker. The video was produced by INDECLINE.
In a press release announcing “The Fight Of Our Lives”, the band stated the following:
"To us, this song is a unique demonstration of the power of community. Bringing in Tim and Brian was just to drive the nail home that this shit takes all of us. The predication of punk rock, to leave things better than you found them, to give a fuck about more than just yourself… The planet can't spare another day before we take massive steps to stop catastrophic, human-made disaster. Nuclear arsenals are on the rise. Millions are displaced around the world. From Ukraine to Yemen, there are currently 27 major conflicts on the planet. Corporate and terrorist networks are reaping massive profits from the bloodshed and division being sewn.
"A growing international neo-fascist crusade is spreading across the world hell bent on furthering a movement rooted in racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, and every other kind of bigotry imaginable. Extremist religious movements grow more emboldened to seize power over the world's governments enacting laws such as the Supreme Court has in the United States, where the human right to an abortion is being banned.
"We are truly in the fight of our lives. It's a time to stand up and be counted. We are at a historic tipping point in human civilization where we can swing towards peace, empathy, optimism, justice, and human rights for all, or we can swing towards more of this ominous rising tide which has already brought so much inequality, pain and death."
