Pittsburgh trad-punks Anti-Flag have made their name with blistering political screeds condemning neo-fascism, corporate greed, and warmongering; but their new EP, A BENEFIT FOR VICTIMS OF VIOLENT CRIME, hits closer to home. Bassist Chris#2 recently lost his sister to violent crime, leaving a band with broad concerns to ponder a far more personal tragedy. Their solution was this limited edition EP, a mix of new and live tracks, the proceeds from which go to the Center for Victims of Violence and Crime. What could be a somber affair opens up with the triumphant sounding "No Paradise", a classic punk barn-burner in the mold of the Clash or Rancid that takes a look at the state of the world. Other songs reference American tragedies like the war in Iraq or Hurricane Katrina, but the overwhelming mood is one of defiance, most clearly displayed on the final studio track, the appropriately named "Marc Defiant." Anti-Flag could have curled up and hidden from the horror of losing a loved one, but instead they're raising their fists in the air.
