RecommendTaken from their new album Billy Talent II, “Red Flag” is a good choice for their first single, though falls short of blowing their listeners away. Powerful, fast-moving, and just about everything you’ve come to expect from Billy Talent is wrapped into three minutes. Coming off a summer-long tour on Warped Tour, the Canadian punk-revivalists have lost none of their punch. “Red Flag” is supported by standard distorted pop-punk instrumentals, and Ben Kowalewicz’s vocals are in-your-face. The lyrics follow the fast-pace of the song, (“The kids of tomorrow don’t need today / When they live in the sins of yesterday”) and have a political foundation without being obnoxious. All in all, “Red Flag” is a healthy hit from Billy Talent that one wouldn’t mind hearing on the radio.
