Anti-Flag Benefits Everyone! October 9, 2007

So our dear friends of Anti-Flag are doing good things again. No surprise there. The vegetarian four-some, who always go above and beyond to speak out against injustices around the world, have this time focused their compassion on a cause that has unfortunately impacted the guys on a personal level.

Earlier this year, Chris #2's sister was tragically taken as a result of a violent crime. In an effort to make something good come of this terrible event, the guys have just released A Benefit for Victims of Violent Crime. In true Anti-Flag fashion, this limited-edition EP was created with the goal of helping others. All proceeds from the CD, which features five new tracks and five live tracks, will be going to The Center for Victims of Violence and Crime, as well as different educational bonds.

I think it's so important to point out that research shows that a clear link definitely exists between cruelty to animals and cruelty to humans. People who commit acts of violence toward animals are likely to escalate toward humans. This is such a vital connection to remember and highlights why it is important that crimes against animals be taken seriously and punished to the full extent.

You love Anti-Flag, you love yourself some good punk rock, you love supporting a great cause, well there ya go. There's nothing to debate. It's all wrapped up in one nice lovely little package for you and it comes in the form of A Benefit for Victims of Violent Crime. Go buy this limited-edition EP today...before it's gone for good.

Hope all is lovely.

BTBAM CD Giveaway September 18, 2007

Posted by Nicole at September 18, 2007 1:48 PM | Permalink | Comments ( 16 ) | TrackBack Three vegans in one band...what more could a person ask for? Well how about if that aforementioned band, named Between the Buried and Me, was releasing a new album and peta2 and Victory Records were giving you ten chances to nab a copy? Agreed that most certainly does sweeten the pot.

So the three vegan boys I mentioned above go by the names of Tommy Rogers, Dan Briggs, and Paul Waggoner, all of who posed for an adorable peta2 vegetarian ad, which you folks can check out here. Our friends Tommy, Dan, Paul, and the rest of BTBAM, are releasing their fifth album, Colors, and did I mention that you guys have ten chances to win a copy...holy hell, yes, I said ten!

Whenever I talk of these hardcore North Carolinians—and I can't forget to highlight that Dan helps to represent my home state of PA—I feel the need to share that BTBAM succeeded at one of the most difficult tasks in music—covering a Queen song. In BTBAM's 2006 release, The Anatomy Of, the guys covered "Bicycle Race". Tommy succeeded at the unthinkable by following in the footsteps of arguably the best voice of all-time, the late-great Freddie Mercury. I must admit that I was skeptical at first, but when I heard it, I was literally blown away! That is my story about BTBAM. Did everyone enjoy?
