Red Flag 77 are a punk rock band from Ipswich, England. Formed in 1990, Red Flag have compiled a healthy fanbase - The 'Flag Army' are fans from all over the UK and Europe where Red Flag have toured. The band recorded their first album, Punk not Dread, after playing just three gigs. Since then they have released many 7" singles and two albums - A Shortcut To a Better World (Beer City Records) Stop The World and Rotten Inside (Captain Oi! Records).[1]

Red Flag released Stop The World in 2004 on Captain Oi! Records. Red Flag's sound is a seething amalgamation of everything that fired the second-half of the '70s - Sham 69's fist in the air, singalong styling, the Ramones sheer abandon, the Sex Pistols ferocity, then slamming in the likes of the Rezillos, the Lurkers, Slaughter & the Dogs, the Clash of course, and, on "Something to Say," the Ruts into their irrepressible mix.[2]
