To quote an early reviewer, “Live, they bleeping explode.” If you have not seen their live show, you are missing out. Anti-Flag’s songs are full of catchy hooks, sing along choruses, ripping guitar, the most unique bass riffs ever (ever!), and incredible musicianship, all wrapped up in a simple idea: that people of the world have more in common than not, and can change the world for the better if they work together and resist attempts to divide them. If you’re unfamiliar with Anti-Flag, then you are missing out on the best political punk rock going. Here’s some of what I listened to when I was writing Love in an Undead Age. I decided not to wait like I did when I was a teenager who wanted to go to the Homecoming dance. That said, no one has ever asked me if music influences my writing and I’ve always wished they would. If you’re reading this on Goodreads, you might want to pop over to Miranda’s Journal here on I included all the links because when I synch this with my Goodreads blog, not all the thumbnails for the videos are coming through. Better yet, read the book and then come back to this. If you haven’t read the book but plan to, when it says spoilers below, skip ahead to the next song. Big as in a-plot-twist-so-crazy-it-hits-you-upside-the-head big. CAUTION: This post contains spoilers – big ones.
