From American Fall (2017). American Fall is the eleventh studio album by American punk rock band Anti-Flag, from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, released on November 3, 2017 by Spinefarm. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Melody Maker through a Marshall JCM900 4100 Dual Reverb, the rig we use for Anti-Flag's other songs from American Fall, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the single pickup.
