the A-F Records cassette This Is East Coast Punk, and featured a spoken intro by Sane. Police Story describes the Death of Jonny Gammage by the police in 1995, claiming "We've got no rights when cops can kill". The song remains one of the band's most request songs to play live, but Chris 2 said that they don't play it because they never found a way to make it work live. Consumer Song was one of the last songs included on the album, along with New Kind of Army. It's a mournful, slow song featuring Justin playing guitar by himself, similar to folk-punk artist Billy Bragg. He had written the song at the end of the sessions, and the band were unable to record a full version of it. They decided to include the solo version on the record in order to show off their appreciation of Bragg. The song addresses the flaws of capitalism, and calls for people to watch where they spend their money, as their buying habits "support abuse in the third world scene". This Is Not A Crass Song features 3 minutes of silence at the end of the song before featuring audio of the band jamming in the studio. Recording The band recorded the album in a similar manner that they did with Die For the Government, renting equipment from local stores to use. Joe West, who had helped produce and engineer the previous album, returned to help them record again. Some of the songs featured guests, including former bass player Jamie "Cock" Towns, Azi Masladahan, Hoss, Mike Poyzle, Reagan Squad, Jim Weber, and Neil Linn. Packaging The album features a drawing by Justin's sister, Lucy, that parodies the famous flag image at Iwo Jima during World War II for the cover. Underneath, the band wrote "Anti-Flag does not mean Anti-American. Anti-Flag means anti-war. Anti-Flag means unity." The booklet also featured a prayer from Mark Twain, and a fold out poster with the phrase "Too smart to fight. Too smart to kill. Join now. A new kind of army." In the album's liner notes, the lyrics spelt women as "womyn". The band wrote that this was "not a misspelling, but a result of feminist conscious". The band would continue to do this for every album that contained the word. Release The album was released jointly on Go-Kart Records and A-F Records. Greg Ross, the label
