Against Me!

[Elisa]

This is my favourite off the new album. 

 

[Russel Coight]

I gave it another spin today. Really like it. 

[Speedo]

These songs were apparently supposed to be the next Against Me! album but because of the pandemic that all fell apart ... kind of glad about that, I can't see these as Against Me! songs.

honest question: is laura on hormones ? her voice seems quite different to earlier releases. 

I know she was at one point, although, I seem to recall something about them fucking with her and she had to stop taking them.

I feel like I can. Which is why I think i like them. It feels like what I like about how she writes unlike what TDM was.

I wonder if they'd be better as full AM songs because they're super simple and dull as solo numbers. Maybe filled out they'd work better.

Honestly I've felt her voice hasn't changed much considering. It definitely alters voices and takes years to bed in hormones wise, so I can see why she'd opt not to as a vocalist.

I don't know, Kay, people really seem to enjoy it.

I'm sure they do, and im not calling it hot garbage or anything, I'm just saying it doesn't really do anything for me because there's really not much going on.

So idk if any of you guys have cameo, but the boys in my band paid for one for me with Laura Jane Grace. They told her about our song that has a verse about her in it and how it's hit 20k streams on Spotify and she was so lovely about it and played me a song and I cried a bunch. 

I got good boys.

Holy shit thats so cool! 

[Speedo]

This song is the first song that Laura has featured on that hasn't fucking sucked!

 

[Speedo]

Against Me! have finally started recording a follow up to Shape Shift. I guess Laura finally got over her Covid anxiety. I'm ready for some new AM!

[Kay]

Me too, I hope it's good. 

[Speedo]

It's that time of year again, time to start listening to my early Against Me! albums. Against Me! demo (1997) through New Wave.

[Speedo]

Absolutely adore Against Me! ... loathe LJG's social media.

[twentytwenty]

I haven’t listened to them in a while but white crosses is one album that tend to come on in the car on longer trips. 

[Elisa]

I worked ~40 hours in 3 days and Cheshire Cat, Untitled, TOYPAJ, Searching For A Former Clarity and Alkaline Trio's discography kept me going.
