Music Review: Anti-Flag - A Benefit For Victims Of Violent Crime - Page 3

Right at the beginning of “No Borders, No Nations,” the crowd goes crazy as “so if George Bush wants to end terrorism he should go ahead and kill himself” is announced. The song continues and the crowd’s energy makes this track just that more enjoyable. The remaining live tracks have the same energy from the band and the fans. Other tracks to check out are “Turncoat” and “The Project For A New American Century.”

I find it suiting that Chris #2 (bassist/vocalist) is on the cover of this CD as it is a dedication for his sister. I could not imagine going through something so terrible in life. It is nice to see Anti-Flag do something about it to get the fans educated and involved. The songs are not really focused on what happened or on revenge, but more towards getting this country in order, and being who you want to be.

Violent crimes happen every day. It could happen to you or a friend without any given notice. For more information about what violent crimes constitute as or if you have been in one and would like support I urge you to check out www.cvvc.org.

This non-profit organization was created to get communities involved in stopping violent crimes. It does not happen just to those people. It can happen to anyone. Don’t just think about violent crimes going away all by themselves, become a part of an organization, and help communities around you find ways to stop it.

    Well isn't that just great - a record to benefit victims of violent crime that advocates suicide. Ain't those Hot Topic punks soooo cute?
