White Flag originally formed in 1982 and have always done things a little differently. Their '82 release, S Is For Space was a "3 sided" L.P. This one, from 1984, has a cover that can be a front cover no matter how you turn it. Even inside-out. Their songs often spoke against common punk themes. Songs actually defending cops, praising the good things about America, and even railing against the silly things about the "hardcore culture". And their music was pretty damn good too.

ReplyDeleteSo many punks don't even know about this band, yet it's name is so close to one of the most popular old school hardcore bands of all time..
