acoustic-pop-punk:

Modern Baseball
Play Ball!
Sports

These words were thrown together
When I still had my faith in hand
Kept it in my back pocket
With the change I had to spare

Swim through the skies when it’s night
Let the stars be my sea breeze
I love when the record echoes
Reminds me of the trees

But I shouldn’t have to say this to you
No, You know how to live life

This compilation of sayings and tunes
Means everything to me now
I cut me open
But you did all the pouring out

I’ve discovered more and more
Of this world that I’ve been calling mine
I don’t care what it takes
Blood, sweat or all my time because

I shouldn’t have to say this to you
No you, know how to live life

And I shouldn’t have to sing all these tunes
No, you make me feel alive

I’m not one to point fingers
But you got me in a bind
Ripping through all our nights
All choruses aside

Swim through the skies when it’s night
Let the stars be my sea breeze
I love when the record echoes

To Erin: Please read later
Cause I don’t think I have the heart
To let you read this now
But if I had the heart
You know that I know better
This isn’t how you say aloud

Ok folks… It is unfortunately the last announcement of the day. We know, we are bummed about it too, but we have to go to WWE Monday Night Raw. Anyway… This next band has nothing to do with wrestling, they are just great! They released their debut LP entitled Sports via Lame-O Records back…

phillyhouseshows:

The Garter Family of CMCH lost their home and all of their belongings in a fire on April 27th. They have four children to support and they need our help. So, with the help of the Mulville family letting me use their house, we will be having a benefit show with super awesome bands from Philadelphia and New Jersey. All donations go to helping out the Gartner family rebuild their home and their lives.

Instead of spending 20 dollars on that bottle of booze, bring money to donate and help out your community.

We will be having a bbq at the start at the show and if you show up early you might just be able to snag some complimentary treats.

This show will be outside. Bring your sunscreen. The Mulville family does not permit drug use or underage drinking, so this is a dry show. It has to start a bit early because it has to be over before 11 so show up early because it’s starting on time.

POZ Decade: Anti-Flag - A 20 Year Celebration

Tue, 14 May 2013 15:30:16 -0400

propertyofzack:

Our PropertyOfZack the Decade feature has been incredibly fun for us to launch over the past few months to celebrate ten year anniversaries of some of our favorite albums. Today’s feature is going to be a little different though. Anti-Flag are not celebrating a ten year album anniversary this year, but they are celebrating a 20 year anniversary as a band. We’re helping them do that today.

We have commentary from Anti-Flag themselves, Man Overboard, Code Orange Kids, Pentimento, Skinny Lister, The Braces, The Architects, Blacklist Royals, and Modern Baseball on multiple aspects of AF’s career over the past 20 years, and we think it’s pretty special.

SideOneDummy Records is also being incredibly rad and offering POZ viewers 20% off on their entire webstore until Thursday, May 16th with the code “POZ.” So check out the webstore here, AF’s 20 year anniversary tour dates here, and the whole Decade feature below!

Skinny Lister on Anti-Flag’s influence
Anti-Flag has a way of inspiring not just their fans, but their friends as well. I fell in love with Anti-Flag in high school and for years they were the anthem of my youth. Later while playing in The A.K.A.s, I got to meet them and tour with them and was happy to learn that the quality of people in the band ran just as deep as the quality of their music. Anti-Flag will always be a band for the people, and I am honored to call them friends. - Michael Camino (@skinnylister)

Code Orange Kids on A New Kind of Army
The first punk CD I ever owned was Anti-Flag’s A New Kind of Army. One of the first shows I went to was getting to see Anti-Flag in Pittsburgh. Both of these experiences shaped my musical palette as a lil’ guy. I read up on social issues and got in the push pit. It was tight. – Jami Morgan (@codeorangekids)

If there is one thing you wanted people to know about AF that they do not already know, what would it be?
Chris #2: We have fun. A lot of fun! We believe that being in a band should be fun. Not everything is about the politics of the band. That’s why we chose music. Because we are humans, we enjoy life, we want others to as well. In conjunction with that we believe that having a social conscience is important and making a statement is necessary to create change in the world. The truth is that people can have great lives and reach success without fucking over each other and the planet.

Modern Baseball on Chris #2’s bass riffs
My first exposure to Anti-Flag was when I was about 12 or 13 and I first discovered Fat Wreck’s Rock Against Bush comps with the band’s “School For Assassins” on it. After hearing that track, they quickly became one of my favorite bands because they were playing cool punk rock and singing about stuff they were super passionate about, which is a trait that was somewhat lacking in punk bands at the time. It’s crazy to think that I’ve been listening to Die For Your Government and The Terror State for about eight years now and even crazier to think they had been a band for twelve years before that. Not too many bands have it in them to put out records with such energy for so long. When I first started playing bass, Chris #2 was one of my favorite bassists and hell - he still is. Dude rips awesome bass lines left and right in a way that no one else can, which totally sets Anti-Flag from other punk bands like them. I mean, just listen to “Turncoat.” That last chorus is like insane bass riffage. I wish I was that good. Anyway, my point is I love that band and I’m super stoked that they’ve been around this long and I’m even more stoked to see them again at Bled Fest this year. – Ian Farmer (@modernbaseball)

If you could change one thing about your career what would you alter?
Chris #2: That’s interesting. I don’t like to really entertain scenarios like this because no matter what you’ve done, unless its harm someone physically, most of what happens in a music career is based on creative instinct and what is right for you at the time. So, it’s easy to have hindsight, but the butterfly effect of that change could alter everything else. One thing that nags us is that we should have trimmed the fat on some early songs. Some are way too long!

What do you feel is your biggest accomplishment over the last 20 years?
