Spinefarm Records – Release Date: 1/17/20

In January, Anti-Flag released their twelfth studio album, titled 20/20 Vision. Compared to their previous full-lengths, this record is unique in that it directly addresses the current president. In the past they’ve favored a less specified approach, as the topics they write about often reoccur throughout different administrations. However, given today’s unprecedented political climate, it’s easy to understand why they chose this route.

Car Con Carne

02.13.20

In 2014, James VanOsdol started the Car Con Carne Podcast with his friend Mike Bratton. The initial concept was to record a podcast inside various barbeque restaurants, but the pair quickly realized that due to the background noise that’s often present in such locations, this idea wouldn’t be possible. With Bratton being a professional voiceover artist, he suggested recording in a car, as that’s where he would often record an audition or a demo if he was away from his home studio. Bratton indicated that the inside of a car is relatively soundproof, and that all he needed was his laptop and microphone to make a recording. With this realization, Car Con Carne was born.
