Exclusive Against Me! Tour Video
Against Me! playing “New Wave” on tour
Punk rock is a funny genre of music in that it projects themes of inherent outsiderness and outright anarchy, while at the same time demanding almost complete and total adherence to a set of “rules” imposed by formative bands nearly thirty years ago. Thankfully, “Against Me!” is quite possibly the new “Clash” for this generation. They are one of the very few “punk” bands that manages to appeal to both the purist and the popular audience without compromising their style in any way.
It’s no accident that their new album is entitled “New Wave”, as they represent a movement that demands more accountability from it’s musicians and also it’s fans. Instead of bitching about how “these bands all sound the same” or “those bands are all selling out”, Against Me! and their followers are doing something about it, making and supporting music that is both meaningful and enjoyable, and that raises the bar for all those that follow suit.
Check out this exclusive video of Against Me! playing the titular song from their new album “New Wave”, out now on Sire records:
