Anti-flag releases new video: "This is the new sound"



The very known punk rock band from Pittsburgh,Pensilvania have just released a new video. The band is famous for the messages their songs have, as the group is very concerned about whats happening in the world and so on they show it in their lyric, full of political critics and idealist minds. This characteristic of the group is what has led them to their last release.
The band has teamed up with "Amnesty International" to produce a new video about a very important and controversial issue. I'm talking about the "National Defense Authorization for Fiscal Year 2012", in particular, section 1021, which allows law to indefinite detention without trial(action of detention executed by a judge). This declaration is based on the fact that this bill violates the basic fact of being caught in prison without the opportunity to prove innocence.
This is what the band commented about the issue:

“The erosion of human rights should always be taken seriously. We wanted to find a creative and clever way to introduce these ideas into the discourse about our new record “The General Strike”. This video is
a culmination of that idea, yea, maybe we’ll talk about how funny it is to see puppets beating the hell out of us, but we’ll also discuss the idea that people are being held in prisons without fair trials, and the promise Obama has made to shut down Guantanamo Bay has yet to be fulfilled.” –Anti-Flag



It's not the first time that Anti-flag partners with Amnesty International, and they always "open people eyes". This bill is a very crucial issue about human rights and cannot be left to the will of some suited man, so I invite you to spread the word and tell everybody about this problem.


“The passage of the NDAA represents a further erosion of human rights in the United States and we are excited to be partnering with Anti-flag to help get this message out to a wider audience.” Tom Parker, Policy Director for Terrorism & (Counter)terrorism and Human Rights for Amnesty International USA


Talking also about the single, band's new album "The General Strike" will be released in March 20th(stay tuned for a review).


This is the web for taking action
