American Pie

Great Band!

the anti-heroes put the put down another serving of america io again the it's best. these is the best since don't tread on me-faster and angrier then before. they are a rare breed of just a few in my book along with Patroit, The brusiers, Red white and blue, Arresting Officers Oxymoron, disorderly conduct, =(MORE TO THE PUNK SIDE Street Dogs,Ducky boys &Dropkick Murphys)and (internationaly the business,last resort, blitz & the 4 skins) some idiot wrot a review called this trash and racist this is very far from the truth they are sharps the completely opposite of racist but I like them anyway, they are a great band and this is a great cd buy it!

Ox is an idiot. The AHs are not fascist or racist! "Murder One" is about a specific murder in Atlanta. The only thing he is remotely correct about is the AHs are a bit homophobic. I, in no way, support that particular ignorance. However, if you're going to slag a band at least know what the *bleep* you're upset about! If you like American Oi/street punk, you will not be put-off by anything these guys say...Moreover, if you like Oi/street punk, it doesn't get any better. Ox, get your "stuff" straight before you rip a band. Jeez, at least have the minimum intelligence to know what you're upset about (and for crying out loud, use spellcheck!).

Anti-Heroes have been my last baston for solid punk music for a few years now. The rest are eather dead or broke up years ago. Since they're a local Atlanta band catching one of their shows on the weekend was a common ritual.My best decription has always been, imagine Sam Kinison fronting a Oi! band. Mark has a voice that could tear through sheet metal. Thats a good thing btw. And i'll side with some of the less ignorant reviews here, they are NOT nazis and they are NOT racists. I've met black fans at their shows and they didn't catch any grief from anyone.That said, American Pie is a must have for anyone that is frustrated with the overabundence of pop-punk that is in the mainstream nowdays. And even those of you that can't live without your pop-punk, step up and check out a solid band that has a message without a pushy agenda.

This isn't Maria Cabel by the way - it's her husband Cabel. Anyway, I've got all the AH stuff and they're one of my favorite bands. American Pie is my personal favorite AH album. More politically oriented than their previous efforts this one has several songs that qualify as anthems in my opinion. The Anti Heros are what the Dropkick Murphys can only dream of being - a real American punk band. FYI - they are in no way whatsoever racist. Forget the Dropkick Murphys - this is the real deal. Also pick up "Underneath The Undergound". Cabel

Anti-Heroes have been around for a long time. And they have always played the best "In your face" Streetpunk. They are opinionated and rude (But show me a skin or punk who is'nt), and they are NOT racist. They believe in American Pride and working class. A.H. play fast and agressive punk, Mark screams with vindication and the songs are inteligent. For some of their older stuff check out "Dont Tread on me"

The Anti-Heroes are one of the greatest Oi! bands of all time and "Amercian Pie" is the best Anti-Heroes yet. The politically charged lyrics in songs like "Heros and Zeroes" and "Murder one" make this music rise above most of the crap put out by the mainstream today. I think its sad when people like Ox say that the the Anti-heroes are racist when they do not bother to understand the meaning of the song in the first place, Please do us all favor and stick to the libral, politically correct bands like "NOFX" and "Sum 41" and leave the Oi! to us. If you dig "Anti-Heroes" I recomend "Drop Kick Murphys" and "The Brusers"

Traditional hardcore, mixed with oi and punk and you get a very solid offering with this record/cd. Thought-provoking and humerous lyrics through out. Starts strong with The Tradition and ends strong with controversy (a smashing Patti Smith cover, but you'll have to buy the record to hear it) This is highly recommended. No disappointments here. Add this to your collection, although you should already own this since it is Y2K as I write this!
