演藝經歷
1993年反旗樂隊在當地匹茲堡廣播電台首次亮相。出於對美國國家主義、民族主義、政府法西斯行為和宗教組織的憎恨，Anti-Flag成員們走到了一起。
1996年樂隊首張專籍《Die For Your Goverment》問世，這張對政府、富人、警察毫不留情的專輯是一張讓社會主流人士泛盡胃酸的唱片。此後，他們的每一張專輯都保持了相當的批判力度。當然，隨著樂隊成員的不斷成熟，作品的抒情性與建設性的比重也相應地有所增加。
1997年，貝司手Chris Head的加入完整了樂隊的陣容。
1998年，Anti-Flag建立了A-F錄音室，重新錄製了當年的絕版唱片North America Sucks，再加上一些先前沒有發表的歌曲，製作了專輯Their System Doesn't Work for You，這也是A-F錄音室製作發行的第一張專輯。
1999年，A New Kind of Army發行，樂隊不僅僅是希望把他們的信仰與信念傳達給廣大的歌迷，更重要的是要將樂隊的宗旨延續到整個世界。
在Warped Tour的一整個夏季，樂隊崇拜者的隊伍不斷擴大，並且結識了一堆新的朋友，其中就包括Fat Mike（Fat Wreck Chords唱片NOFX組合的成員）。
2000年，Anti-Flag應邀參加Vans Warped Tour（極限運動音樂節）。在此期間，樂隊成員結識了擁有Fat Wreck Chords錄音室的大牌朋克明星Fat Mike（NOFX樂隊主唱）。這次邂逅產生的友誼，孕育出Anti-Flag在Fat Wreck Chords旗下的兩張專輯。
2002年2月， Mobilize發行，其中大部分是樂隊2001年12月在其家鄉的現場演出記錄，當然，也不缺少錄音棚里製作的一些歌曲，特別值得一提的是"911 for Peace"，它完美地詮釋了當時世貿中心所遭受的恐怖攻擊。
2002年早期，Sane發行了一張個人專輯Life， Love and the Pursuit of Justice，其風格依舊延續了樂隊一貫的政治立場。
2002年的秋天，Anti-Flag和Bouncing Souls的BYO Split Series合集問世，緊接著一年以後，樂隊又發行了他們的全新專輯The Terror State。03年，Liberation將Anti-Flag的四首歌曲收錄成一張專輯Live at Fireside Bowl，隨即發行。2004年發行的DVD“Death of a Nation”收錄了樂隊為宣傳The Terror State在美國巡演的記錄，同年，A New Kind of Army問世。
2004年美國總統大選，各朋克樂團和演藝界人士聯合起來發起了“反布希”2004年大選投票運動，毫無疑問，Anti-Flag是其中的一員。
然而，沒有想到的是，樂隊於2005年4月簽約RCA旗下，隨即在來年的三月推出了全新專輯For Blood and Empire。
2006年的冬天，樂隊貝斯手Chris的姐姐在一次兇殺案中喪身，2007年10月，樂隊在其自己的錄音室里錄製了這張唱片A Benefit for Victims of Violent Crime，以幫助那些同樣遭受不幸的家庭，這張限量版的唱片的所有收益都將捐贈給CVVC組織。

人物評價
這支樂隊有著超級激進的政治態度和無窮無盡的年青能量。 但與一般的校園朋克樂隊不同，他們很少把荷爾蒙撒在無頭無腦的青春愛情上，而是把憤怒矛頭指向虛偽可惡的美國政府、貪婪奸詐的資產階級和野蠻自大的“警察大爺”。
《For Blood And Empire》里的13首作品除了繼續保持著Anti-Flag最勇猛的音樂取向以外，也大膽地吸納了不少旋律化的元素。像《The Press Corpse》和《1 Trillion Dollar$》這樣的作品就不但有著好聽的旋律，甚至連主唱Justin Sane的唱腔都不那么憤怒了。難怪有的評論里會將這張專輯稱作是“Anti-Flag自組建以來最好聽的唱片”。這與他們簽約主流廠牌不無關係，儘管像Sony/BMG這樣的公司他們關心的向來都僅僅是鈔票，但他們也都絕不是傻子，簽下Anti-Flag這樣一個政治上的“刺頭”，他們自然會在音樂上對樂隊有所限制：歌詞你們怎么說都行，但旋律你得弄得好聽一些，讓那些原來只喜歡Green Day和Blink-182的孩子們也會掏錢買Anti-Flag的唱片。
