In addition, the tour will include headline dates at the Great Canadian Beaverfest in Windsor, ON, and at Buffalo, NY's Erie Canal Harbor Central Wharf Concert Series (see ...
Tom Gabel performs new Against Me! song entitled "Black Me Out" via Nervous Energies Session :

Photo by Nicole Kibert This week's Nervous Energies session finds Tommy Gabel performing a brand new Against Me! song entitled "Black Me Out" before the Revival Tour in Atlanta. I was lucky enough to be at the Revival Tour in Orlando on Saturday (which our BFFs over at Suburban Apologist have recapped for you here ) and got to see Tommy rip everyone's hearts to shreds in person. He's only on a few more Revival Tour dates, so if you have the chance, you should go .

26 This is one of my favourite Against Me! songs being covered by one of my favourite humans. It might not differ too much from the original, but El offers up a hauntingly beautiful rendition of a modern punk classic. Check it out. El Morgan - Sink, Southsea, Sink Against Me! - Sink, Florida, Sink Anthony Barlow is an idiot from Manchester, England. He writes things about music at Moon & Back Music , co-hosts the [...]

17 Yesterday, my dear friend frenemy Barlow sent me a link to a YouTube video of The Menzingers doing the song "Wagon Wheel" for this series. Neither of us can find the original source, by the way, so if any of you know, please tell me! Some extensive googling on the location of the above mentioned compilation led to me learning quite a bit about the track as well as finding some other great versions. Most importantly, there was this post [...]

It's valentine's day, that special day where single people are bitter and wish they were in relationships and people in relationships wish they were single... oh and something about Al Capone killing a bunch of people on a boat or something. Here's a little vday mix for all you punk hearts out there, because I'm your valentine.

During last week's Slamdance Film Festival, which runs concurrently with the Sundance Film Festival, punk rockers Against Me! played an hour-long set following the premiere of the Vans Warped tour documentary No Room For Rockstars . In addition to blasting through old hits and standbys, as Punknews.org points out, the band debuted three new songs: "Black Me Out", "Dead Friends", and "Osama Bin Laden Is the Crucified Christ". And just your luck, that entire performance is available for viewing below. "Black Me Out", which the band kicked the set off with, is an anthemic, [...]

It's been a long year. Scratch that, it's been a veeerrrry long year. From social revolutions to the end of our occupation of Iraq, from the death of celebrities and dictators to a man who sneezes bullets and the mystery of planking, the world experienced a slew of emotions and all sorts of cultural and political upheaval in 2011. And that's not even counting the plethora of music news that had the blogosphere abuzz this year . So, as the question begs, what comes next? Well, 2012. If you were to believe certain [...]

This track was all over my Facebook page today and for good reason. It's a good song . "Ruby is the first track from Cheap Girls ' upcoming release, Giant Orange (due out February 21st). Giant Orange was produced by none other than Against Me! 's Tom Gabel. Ruby by CheapGirls

As a long time fan (I knew him before he was famous maaan!) I know Frank to be an excellent and charismatic performer, and tonight's show in Birmingham (his biggest headline show so far apparently) did not disappoint. The energyand enthusiasm he has for live shows is clear from opener 'Eulogy' to finale 'Photosynthesis'. His set included a mixture of songs from all four albums, focusing la... Read more..

Webster defines an Aficionado as a person who likes, knows about, and appreciates a usually fervently pursued interest or activity; a devotee. This month ESBMusic suggests all you music aficionados become a fan of November's Artist of the Month Aficionado . Aficionado is a talented 7 piece band, hailing from Albany, NY with roots in punk music but have developed a unique style that they are happy to call their own. The band mixes organ, flute, and occasional horn arrangements into it's unorthodox blend of post-punk. Upon their inception in 2004, Aficionado began touring [...]

Photo courtesy LordKhan on Flickr 1. Tuesday - 'Too Much Of Today' Tuesday - Too Much Of Today Dan Andriano is the original - and maybe the only - crooner of punk rock. His lyrics might be steeped in cliches, but it's hard not to relate to every word the man utters. I think everyone's been in a similar situation to the one described in 'Too Much Of Today' and it's this, his ability to turn the most mundane things in [...]

Walked past the Wall Street demonstrations again. Sound and fury symbolizing everything and accomplishing nothing. How about we all stop buying shit for a week from some companies? It's called boycotting. That's the only way the fuckers will ever notice... if it hits em in their bottom line. We pay tribute to Steven Jobs by queuing en masse for the latest gadget. How about we pay tribute to "think different" by NOT buying shit for the week. I've been listening to Against Me lately. Third or fourth or ninety seventh generation punks that wear [...]

What can you get out of four guitarists? Just one listen to Diarrhea Planet and you'll see that it's a pretty heavy sound, if not one rooted in a bit of pop. With the vocals, I want to throw them in as a more rocking Against Me , but there's a lot less angst. This Nashville outfit is busy prepping their debut Loose Jewels on Infinity Cat Records , which you can find in stores on September 20th (next week!). It's possibly [...]
Filed under: News , Exclusive , New Music Noel Vasquez, Getty Images No one can accuse Against Me! of being slackers. The Florida punks have just come off a lengthy run with Warp Tour in support of a handful of recent releases, including last summer's final major label release 'White Crosses.' Then there's that business of launching their own record label, Total Treble Music, earlier this summer -- a milestone the group has [...]
