About Against Me!
Against Me! started in Florida in 1997 as Laura Jane Grace's acoustic project and grew into a full band rooted in the Gainesville punk scene. Early records such as Reinventing Axl Rose (2002) and As the Eternal Cowboy (2003) were rough, fast and shouted, with songs like 'Pints of Guinness Make You Strong' passed around the DIY circuit.
The move to Sire for New Wave (2007), produced by Butch Vig, brought a cleaner, arena-sized sound and the single 'Thrash Unreal', which drew accusations of selling out from parts of the early fanbase. Transgender Dysphoria Blues (2014) returned to a leaner, angrier attack, with songs written directly about dysphoria and the body. Grace has also released music under her own name.
