Watch new Anti-Flag music video


New studio record entitled The General Strike from Pittsburgh's punk-rockers Anti-Flag will be out on March 20. Therefore, band revealed new music video for their new song called "This Is The New Sound". It si second song revealed from new record after "1915".

New music video was made in cooperation with Amnesty International, which is one of the biggest organizations fighting for human rights.

The band made an official statement on their Web site:

"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."

Tom Parker, Policy Director for Terrorism & (Counter)terrorism and Human Rights for Amnesty International said about the video and cooperation with Anti-Flag:

"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."

The song and video are actually pretty awesome and you can watch it below:
