The Bright Lights of America (2008) is the sixth studio album released by Anti-Flag. This album was different from the previous one For Blood And Empire [MOVLP1479]; it was the first to feature a string section and child choirs. The band was often criticized for this effort because it is an extreme departure from their normal musical style.
The first song released from the album was "Good 'N' Ready", featured on Fat Wreck Chords Hanuk-Comp From the Dreidel to the Grave compilation.
In April 2008 Anti-Flag teamed up with Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello and a host of roller derby girls for a video for "The Bright Lights of America". "The video demonstrates the audacity and the craziness of the seemingly endless war... We're trying to get that across in a funny and interesting way."
