AGNOSTIC FRONT have recently released a full track by track commentary for every song on the band's upcoming album, »The American Dream Died«. Find the piece written by the band's iconic frontman, Roger Miret, below.
The American Dream Died: It’s a harsh look at what’s going on today in our society. The intro that precedes this song says it all! It’s a reaction to everything happening around us right now. The higher ups are out of control!
Police Violence: This is our reaction to what’s going on in our country regarding the unprovoked brutality of our citizens by those who we pay to "protect and serve" us. If they are going to act like criminals, then they should be prosecuted as one! They have some kind of elite fraternity-like understanding that they protect each other with. Don't abuse your badge!

Punk rock/Hardcore is a movement it's not an image!
Enough Is Enough: Protest song! I once read an inspiring quote that went like this "I hold it, that a little rebellion, now and then, is a g
