Elisa Posted July 10, 2020 Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 I've been listening to a lot of Against Me today and it's making me nostalgic, I just got to Bamboo Bones with a tear in my eye. We should go back to talk about blink now though. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vic vinegar Posted July 10, 2020 Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 Anyone here like the songs Spanish Moss and High Pressure Low? I feel those were overlooked by me initially since I used to only play TDB and Axl, but damn they're catchy. Or the live album 23 Sex Acts Live? Now that's a great set-list. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't wait to see a regular set list for AM! I've only seen them play 4 of their albums all the way through but White Crosses wasn't one of them so I haven't heard any of those songs live yet!!! Still dope hearing Cowboy/New Wave and Axl/TDB all the way through. I didn't think I'd ever hear Baby I'm an Anarchist live. I saw James Bowman at a bar before a Teenage Bottlerocket show. I was too shy to go over and tell him both shows were rad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you haha. I’ll have to give the whole album another chance now. Also if you ever visit Chicago, the song I Hate Chicago is spot on. I'm a transplant too and can relate to Laura's pain here. I mean I love it here, but sometimes people do need to learn how to drive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nosferatu Posted July 10, 2020 Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 I like a couple of songs by Against Me but not really tried to give them a proper listen. You guys have got me deciding to listen to an album or 2 of theirs this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And let’s be honest this is way more enjoyable then arguing about Matt skiba. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it was years before that song came out. I definitely don’t remember it like the song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like white crosses is the most accessible one but you’re into your punk stuff a lot so Reinventing Axl Rose or The Eternal Cowboy would be right up your alley. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High pressure low is great, the whole White Crosses album is overlooked by a big portion of the fan base for it not being punk enough or whatever. 2 hours ago, daveyjones said: just checked my archive; i have searching for a former clarity and new wave but i don't think i've listened to either in forever. i don't think they made much of an impression. any other recommends? White Crosses (album). And black me out (song). Also 333 (song) and 12: 03 (song). The song I discovered them by was Rice and Bread which is this libertines type of song 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a sonically and thematically diverse discography, but I wouldn't recommend you Searching and New wave. Their first two albums are all energy and righteous anger, you might like them, but you also have to check Transgender Dysphoria Blues because it's quintessential. It's completely different from Reinventing Axl Rose and Eternal Cowboy, but it's just as punk as they are because it's very raw lyrically and musically. Laura really puts all her emotions out there in a very beautiful way. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patient #48273 Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 I was on a real Against Me! kick back in February/March, but I haven't listened to them a whole lot since, so like a lot of people in this thread, I'm going to have an AM! weekend. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thibaut182 Posted July 13, 2020 Report Share Posted July 13, 2020 I wish that the technology of drum cams existed back in the 90s, would have definitely enjoyed seeing some Blink shows from 1994-1998 with Mr "Mad Dog" Raynor's perspective! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedo Posted July 13, 2020 Report Share Posted July 13, 2020 Yeah, totally, I love watching drums played with no context, that's a great angle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucko Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 Had a dream last night that Tom was announced back in Blink and it was announced as one last tour. There was also a board behing them which had "+44 album 2 2022" and boxcar album 2 2022 written on. So there you go. Enjoy the next couple of years all x 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
