The Acoustic EP is an especially fitting release from Against Me! After all, the band is based in the acoustic stirrings of singer Tom Gabel, who was performing solo as a teenager anywhere that would have him. His solitary musings eventually evolved into the full band of Against Me!, which can be as rowdy and boisterous as the next plugged-in group. This release, however, strips the songs down to Gabel's acoustic roots and makes him -- and the songs -- all the more powerful for it. Alternate    [ read more ]

In 2001, Against Me!'s lineup eventually settled down, seemingly for good, at which point the band sprung into motion and haven't sat down since. A deal with Fat Wreck Chords brought forth three excellent studio albums, which the group somehow found time to churn out between never-ending tours. That interminable gigging has kept Against Me! sharp, so much so that their first two Fat Wreck full-lengths were so riddled with energy they almost sounded as if they were recorded live. They weren't. Bu   [ read more ]

Though not without the hallmarks of Fat Wreck Chords punk, Against Me!'s As the Eternal Cowboy marks a giant leap forward for the label by combining poppy punk rock with leftist politics, Billy Bragg's raspy anti-folk, and the Replacements' beer-soaked version of Americana. The Gainesville, FL, outfit may have embraced a slightly slicker production than with its fan favorite, Reinventing Axl Rose, but no matter how you stack it, As the Eternal Cowboy is an accomplished re   [ read more ]

Against Me! are simply brilliant. Their honest and raw songs of inspiration and frustration highlight some of the best personal and political DIY punk. It is melodic, edgy, and straightforward. The songs on this CD are from their first 7"s; you also get two bonus tracks from the same period, which have a similar feel as those original songs. This recording features just two people, which enhances the warm acoustic feel and highlights the basic goodness of this band.

Disco Before the Breakdown is close to what could be expected from Gainesville, FL's Against Me! -- impassioned folk-influenced gritty punk with rough lead vocals and choruses of "whoa"s chiming in behind. The EP's relatively upbeat and horn-friendly title track is a highlight, showcasing the group's standard energetic and reckless vigor. ~ Corey Apar, All Music Guide

VINYL FORMAT. Just in time for the Bird Flu Epidemic, motherpluckers! A two song 12" from Against Me! featuring a remix of "From Her Lips to God's Ear" by A-drock. A must listen.

VINYL FORMAT. There is a legion of Against Me! fans who want only for the band's music to sound exactly as it did on Reinventing Axl Rose-- scrappy punk/folk and nothing else. But with as talented a songwriter as Tom Gabel leading the way, it's ridiculous to think that the band would be satisfied complying. Growth is necessary; change is inevitable. In the case of New Wave, different doesn't automatically mean bad. As their first album on major label Sire, it's a straight-up rock record. Espec   [ read more ]
