Anti-Flag have posted a lyric video for their new song, "1915." The video features handwritten lyrics to the new song as well as footage from the band's recent visit to Thailand. Anti-Flag explained the song:

Joe Hill may have been the first punk rock musician. He didn't have the same aesthetic to his sound, but he certainly had the attitude. He fought diligently for human rights. He questioned nationalism at what we can only believe was it's peak. He inspired so many people while alive and for sure even more after his death. He was killed in November of 1915 by firing squad for what many believe was a murder he did not commit. Joe believed he was worth more to the labour movement as a dead martyr then if he was alive.

The song (along with several others) will appear on The General Strike which is due out March 20th, 2012
