Anti-Flag Are Anti-Poverty

Pittsburgh punk band Anti-Flag will do their part to help local homeless and youth shelters during their upcoming Canadian tour.

The socially conscious group have created an exclusive unreleased three-song "Charity Donation EP" that'll be available on a digital download card at their shows for people who come to the gig with donated clothes. The card will also give fans a five-dollar discount on Anti-Flag's new The Bright Lights Of America album at HMV stores across Canada. Atticus Clothing will donate some of their wares in each market to support the cause.

Kind-hearted fans are asked to bring a clean clothing donation (a non-perishable food item should be substituted in Montreal) to Anti-Flag's merch table at each gig. Covenant House, Operation Go Home, McDonald Youth Services Shelter and United Way are among the organizations that will benefit from the initiative.
