"Anti-Flag is an American political punk rock band from Glenshaw, Pennsylvania, a blue collar suburb of Pittsburgh. Despite relatively modest beginnings and a back catalog of independent labels, the band has risen to steady popularity, having performed tours on four continents and signed to a major label. The band is perhaps best known for their political views and ideals.

Anti-Flag was originally formed in Pittsburgh in 1988. The band name originates from the experiences that the founders had in their hometown. When the two would go to local hardcore shows, they often saw patrons of the shows chanting slogans for 'freedom not fascism while waving the American Flag and sporting the flag on their jackets. However, these same patrons would constantly participate in violence against those who did not completely agree with their point of view. Justin and Pat saw the brandishing of the American Flag and using it as a tool against others as a form of fascism."
