Contributor Amy Meyer recently put together an in-depth interview with #2 of Anti-Flag. The interview coincides with and discusses the band’s new charity EP and covers both the rationale behind the release as well as Chris’ very personal motivations. Amy explained:

After Anti-Flag’s Chris #2’s sister was murdered in February of this year, the band decided to take some action and release A Benefit for Victims of Violent Crime to raise money for victims of violent crime, in this case her two children left behind. Along with discussing the situation with his sister and the EP, #2 spills a little bit of the beans on the new record, why he likes Justin Timberlake, and his RCA sugar daddy

A Benefit for Victims of Violent Crime is due out October 02, 2007.
