Episode 72: Chris Barker, Anti-Flag

39 min • 1 november 2022

I heard the new Anti-Flag record the other day. The 13th full length from the legendary Pittsburgh punks isn’t actually due until January 6th, 2023, and yet because podcasters get special privileges – loads of cash, global fame, diminished eyesight from editing in Audacity for a several hours of the day – I got a copy early, and I’m happy to report that it’s a rager.

Entitled Lies They Tell Our Children, the record sees the group collaborating with a veritable rollcall of acts that matter to the band. You’ve likely already heard the lead off single, ‘Modern Meta Medicine’, featuring Killswitch Engage vocalist Jesse Leach, but there’s also Silverstein, Rise Against, Bad Religion… a veritable roll call of modern punk rock luminaries. So what better time than now to ring up bassist Chris Barker to learn more… and to challenge my own personal ongoing liberal heterodoxy?

There is no better time than now.
