Butch Vig is going to produce Against Me!'s major label debut.

Butch has produced a lot of my favorite records, but I'm not really sure about this. All I can say is that I'm really stoked and excited about the new album. I'm 100% sure that most of their old fans will not dig it at all, but I know that from what I've heard so far that I definitely will.

My band has a show on Saturday. We're playing Impact.

Are you a disco f[b]u[/b]cker for a new generation?

I will be. Actually, I'm just playing bass, and I think screaming the "IMPACT!!!"s.

Me and my drummer jam to Turn Those Clapping Hands Into Angry Balled Fists, sans lyrics. I don't think our other guitarist is up to playing it, though. I've been planning on doing Tonight We're Gonna Give It 35% solo at a local talent show sometime.

[quote=Skrunnch]Don't Lose Touch is HORRIBLE.

I'm sorry man but that song is horrible.[/quote]

your opinion is your opinion. i just happen to like it. miami i think is a pretty bad beginning song on an album.

My band is the Midnight Cowboys ([url]http://www.myspace.com/themidnightcowboys)[/url]. We're a pretty generic punk band I think. The show's at a YMCA in Harleysville, PA with some band from Delaware and this other band, Political Atrophy, who I assume suck, because all the kids in it are stupid and into street punk and Leftover Crack, and nothing else.

hey, im sure this has been asked before, but im not about to search through 100+ odd pages of writing, so if anyone has some rare Against Me! songs, mainly the Cavalier Eternal EP, the Sink, Florida, Sink EP, the first Against Me! EP, or the song Bastards of Young (Replacements cover), i'd appreciate it.

thanks

Room on slsk: allthehubub

I guarantee you'll find whatever AM! stuff you want there.

Our show went ok. We did the best we could, given the conditions of the venue (a huge gymnasium). Impact went good, and I ended up screaming at least half of the "IMPACT!!!!"s.

Playing in a gym sucks, but it's good that it went well for you.

[quote=asdf]Playing in a gym sucks, but it's good that it went well for you.[/quote]

agreed. on my last bands last show, we played a school gym and the echoing from the bare walls made my voice sound horrible. right now i am trying to start a new band and need a drummer. that is it.

I'm gonna start a band and it's going to be better than Against Me!

everyone has goals. but it sux because my friend who was our last drummer is a p'ussywhiped moron.damn i am stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Yeah, my band played in a battle of the bands at my school in a gym. It was terrible. My amp was really low. Our drummer was really intoxicated. Everything was echoing.

I really miss my band, though. It had nothing to do with punk, but I loved what we did. Now I'll have to go find a new group of people, which seems to be very difficult.

I dunno, being a drummer and trying to make a band is hard.
Partly because it seems like anyone in my town that likes Punk or something has to be a bad musician.

no he only did it as a hobby but the thing is until he started going out with this psychotic b'itch he was excellent. if he kept going he could have been professional studio musician. and besides everyone around here is into metal old and new or you get the hip hop people. i here from my sister everyday taht "punk sux" but then i go tell her to go fornicate hersef with a lamp post.

whenever i go on soulseek this room is never there... and to all those people i added on soulseek who said they had it, you're never online!! :P

Right click on the room list then click "Create Room" and type in [b]allthehubub[/b] (case sensitive).

Got back from the Leeds Festival yesterday, Against Me! were pretty damn good. The set list was OK, but nothing special, they did about 2 or 3 new songs which sounded pretty decent, but it's not what you should do at a festival, the crowd are there to hear the classics. The crowd was hot for them, and they looked like they were really having fun onstage, i think it was because they were back in a smaller venue.

Setlist (form what i remember, in no order)

Cliche Guevara
TSR
Sink Florida Sink
Unprotected Sex
From Her Lips to God's Ears
Pints Of Guiness
Reinventing Axl Rose
Rice and Bread
New Song
New Song

One of the songs was probably Americans Abroad, i'd definately go and see them again though.

You know, everytime I do that, it says I'm the only one in the room.

Make sure you don't make it allthehubbub. It has to be exactly "allthehubub."

Me and the guitar player from my band were playing Against Me! songs outside Wal-mart yesterday underneath a "no loitering" sign. We were playing "Baby, I'm an Anarchist", and when we sang "I was burning that f'ucker and raising my black flag high" this woman got mad and we had the manager called on us. We told him we were taking down the establishment.

That's cute. Me and my friend just learned Pints of Guinness last night on our acoustics.

Stringing* my black flag high. You really stuck it to the man, man.

[QUOTE=Crack-Rock-Steady]Make sure you don't make it allthehubbub. It has to be exactly "allthehubub."[/QUOTE]

i do that, but it still says im the only one in that room. i mean, maybe its because i go on soulseek really late at night or early in the morning, but there is never anyone there.

anyways, does anyone know if Against Me! has ever played the song "Violence" live?

They played Violence when I saw them in San Diego with Alkaline Trio. It was a really great performance.

I almost shot myself when I couldn't go see them with Alk3.


That would have been an amazing show. God. :upset:
