Against Me!
The roots of Against Me!'s rousing punk-folk sound lie in Tom Gabel's role as guitar-and-stool troubadour around his native Gainesville, FL, beginning in 1997.

VINYL FORMAT. When Against Me! recorded As the Eternal Cowboy, they recorded acoustic AND electric versions of several songs! They had a really tough time deciding which versions to put on the album, because they liked them all. In the end, they decided to put the alternate versions out as two singles. The album versions of these two songs are both acoustic! This record has an elaborate die-cut, fold-out cover designed by artist Chris Norris.

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 ]
