Although Anti-Flag formed seven years ago, its origins go back to 1988 when guitarist Justin Sane and drummer Pat Thetic -- the only punk rockers in Glenshaw, Pennsylvania -- got together. After playing in several different bands and taking a trip to the West Coast, the two found themselves back in Pittsburgh and decided to get serious about putting together a band. The result was Anti-Flag. Over the next few years, second guitarist Chris Head and bassist Jamie Cock joined up and since then they've been all over the U.S. and Canada. According to Sane, "Aside from trying to make a positive change in the world through our message, I think the real fuel for what we do comes from the kids we meet who have the same troubles, concerns, and ideas that we have."
