Anti-Flag abruptly broke up and deleted their social media. The band issued a statement that they were breaking up and shutting down their Patreon yesterday soon after a podcast went live that appears to point to an assault by lead singer, Justin Sane.
The victim interviewed didn’t refer to Sane by name, but referred to the “lead singer” of a political punk band from the East Coast and gave enough detailed information that the connection was made to the whom she was speaking about. Soon after, the band shut down most of their socials and made the brief announcement of their disbandment.
New Noise is a queer and woman-staffed and owned publication, and it goes without saying this is the kind of shit we have a hard time stomaching. We have removed the Anti-Flag cover variant from our online store and will continue to report on this story as it unfolds.
