Plenty, considering some of the celebs on the roster include Chris #2 from Anti-Flag, Brandon Barnes from Rise Against, Derek Grant from Alkaline Trio, John Feldmann from Goldfinger, and Andy Hurley from Fall Out Boy – just to name a few. Who knew so many punk musicians were veg?
In any case, what are you waiting for? Vote for YOUR favorite sexiest vegetarian nominee here, and show these musicians your support.
The list is long, so take your time – I’m still deciding.
Stay TRUE,

Throwing their blogging hat into the ring, prolific punk rockers Anti-Flag recently launched a blog, entitled “We Are The Bright Lights.” (The name coincides with their upcoming album of a similar name, “The Bright Lights of America.”)
Once there, check out the brief video introduction, and consider submitting something yourself. Members of Anti-Flag launched the blog on the 5th anniversary of the War in Iraq, and encourage others to submit an issue that matters to them.
