Against Me!

[rave]

одна из любимых групп. мне кажеться они гениальны. их концерт останеться в памяти на всю жизнь. хотя я уверен, что поеду еще миллион раз на них. альбом нью вэйв считаю лучшим, хотя люблю ранее творчество. заебись райот-фолк такой. кроме того, считаю его лучшим в 2007 году. трэш анрил вообще хит помоему :D

от Максима:
Музыка Against Me! - это смесь из фолка/кантри/акустики/блюза/панк рока. Очень нестандартно и оригинально. По идеологии они анархо. В их дебютном лонгплее, кстати, была песня на этот счёт Baby, I'm an Anarchist! Группа придерживается DIY идеологии, анти-капитализма и прочей "идейности", однако это им совсем не мешает выходить на Fat Wreck Chords. Они постоянно прыгали то на No Idea Records, то на Fat Wreck Chords. В декабре они подписались на Sire Records - на этом лейбле выходили и Ramones и Distillers и куча совсем даже не панковых групп. Этот релиз сделал своё дело и группа активно начала светиться на MTV, а 30 Сентября выступили даже у Конона О'Браяна. Эти факты меня несколько не ебут, а даже в определённом роде радуют, эта группа заслужила известность и признание не только кучки "активистов-сквоттеров". Большинство идейных фанатов этой группы, естественно, отвернулось от них (кого ебёт музыка, они предали идеи anarchism ethics).
Эти "фаны-анархисты" разъебашили их Van во время тура и всячески мешают и бойкотируют их выступления, не стесняясь нападать на саму группу.
Этот релиз несколько отличается от предыдущих. Он более печальный, медленный и дипрессивный чем все остальные. Звук стал более взрослым и серьёзным. С каждым лонгплем мы видим прогресс этой группы, довольно редкое явление в наши дни. Не удивлюсь если со своим 4-ым ЛП, они-таки покорят чарты, и будут уже не на 116 месте =) Я в данном случае говорю не о коммерческой стороне вопроса, а об уровне признания и степени культовости. Их музыка уже давно не удел кучки идейных активистов. Лирика у AM! не уступает ни Propagandhi ни тем более Anti-Flag, сказать что она остросоциальная - ни сказать ровным счётом ничего.

P.S. никогда не забуду обзор Against Me! в одном из номеров "уважаемого" Беларусского DIY-Zine "Xerotika"
"Прослушал пока за хлебом ходил, поп панк он и есть поп панк, ничего особенного" (с) Ксеротика...
Ну вы понимаете о чём я.

у чувака справа на лице волос больше чем у меня на голове а я себя считал заросшым

 

[Hazard]

оу...какие они веселые, зря я к ним так несерьезно относился. с первых секунд Оригинального Пастуха в душе волной начался подниматся позитив..короче незнаю как сказать, но они реально дико веселые, и панк рока там действительно больше чем в многих групах этого раздела

не могу сказать что это самая позитивная группа и самый позитивный альбом.

 

[Бруно]

Hazard, ну это все познается в сравнениее, я давно ничего такого не слушал...да и первый трэк действительно очень веселый, но это все имхо...каждый здесь может услышать что то свое, наверно дело в состоянии душы..

Том выложил в своём блоге свежее студийное видео. ничего особенного там нет, разве что футболка Брюса Спрингстина)) но вообще интересно очень чего там они назаписывают

новость взята с панкньюз(откуда ж ещё?)

На каком уровне? Тут даже примерно нету хитов предыдущего рокешника, я уже не говорю о старом. Ваще пустышка какая-то.
А "ай вот а тинедж анархист" ваще лол.

Хороший, спелый альбом.
Почему лол?

Спойлер: Всё как надо, всё по старчеству.

I Was A Teenage Anarchist

I was a teenage anarchist, looking for a revolution. I had the style, I had the ambition. I read all the authors, I knew the right slogans. There was no war but the class war. I was ready to set the world on fire. I was a teenage anarchist, looking for a revolution.

Do you remember when you were young and you wanted to set the world on fire?

I was a teenage anarchist, but the politics were too convenient. In the depths of their humanity all I saw was bloodless ideology. And with freedom as the doctrine, guess who was the new authority? I was a teenage anarchist, but the politics were too convenient.

Do you remember when you were young and you wanted to set the world on fire?

I was a teenage anarchist, but then the scene got too rigid. It was a mob mentality, they set their rifle sights on me. Narrow visions of autonomy, you want me to surrender my identity. I was a teenage anarchist, the revolution was a lie.

интересное высказывание Брендона Келли. ответ на слова Тома о том, что он хочет играть на стадионах и.т.п.

Спойлер: читать

See, the reason you all like Against Me! in the first place, the reason that they’re even a band you’ve HEARD OF is because Tom et al have ambition that can’t be contained by playing dumb basement shows and working as waiters. They aspire to be career musicians. And before you get all snippy about that being a bad thing, let me remind you that selling tee shirts, sweaters, patches and beer cozies are the trappings of a lifestyle boutique, not a musical troupe, so ANY BAND that makes shirts is doing so for the purposes of commerce, even though realistically, it has NOTHING AT ALL TO DO WITH MUSIC. AND THAT’S FINE! That’s fucking great. That’s the thing. Propaghandi, Tragedy, whoever, they all fucking deal in commerce. ... Finally, there are people out there (I was one of them) who say shit like “all I want is to play music to two or three hundred kids a night. I don’t want to be big. I think this is much cooler.” They say that because that’s an ambition point that they have not yet reached. Ask Avail. Ask the Suicide Machines. Ask the Lawrence Arms or Strike Anywhere or Matchbook Romance or anyone who’s gotten to that point and gotten stuck if that was where they hoped their career topped out. Go ahead. Ask them. They’re all working at bars and landscaping jobs and shit like that. Meanwhile, Tom [Gabel] is asleep on a bus and he’s gonna wake up and write songs and then play some songs for a bunch of happy people tonight and it’s because he’s realizing his ambition. What’s cooler? You tell me. Go ahead. Come into my bar today and see how many of your favorite songs I sing you. Yeah. I’m real glad I “decided” not to play stadiums for thousands of people.

Release Notes -------------------------------------------------------------

Yay another sellout album from Against Me I like it but I know a lot of
people don't. Definitely not going to pay 30 to see them open up for
bullshit like Alexisonfire though biggrin.gif

I didn't fuck up the in the tag like in Attack Attack Against Me is the
only band that deserves it

FNT: 8 Years of making you look cool to your friends.

'White Crosses' is as powerful and as bold a rock record as one can imagine
The band roars like fighter jets screaming over a stadium on the anthemic
title-track (with its shout along line about smashing the 4,000 crosses on a
local church's lawn, ones that signify the number of babies aborted each day
in the U.S.). Joining that is the escapist fury of 'Spanish Moss,' and the
short stick of dynamite, 'Rapid Decompression

'New Wave' eschewed some of the roughness of the band's earlier efforts, but
'White Crosses' goes even further in filling out the band's wallop. With its
twinkling piano and a glorious whoa-oa chorus, 'Because Of The Shame' could
be an outtake from Bruce Springsteen's classic 'Born To Run.' 'Ache With Me
is a slow-jam that would make Paul Westerberg blush, while 'High Pressure
Low' is Billy Idol meets fellow Gainesville native Tom Petty

'This is my Florida record,' says Gabel. 'I spent a lot of time writing this
record while driving directionless on forgotten Florida state roads, highly
caffeinated, with albums like Petty's 'Full Moon Fever' blasting on my
stereo

Если кто, вдруг, ещё негодует по поводу Baby, I'm an Anarchist! -> I Was A Teenage Anarchist

Спойлер: Том отчитывается.

I got into radical politics when I was 15 years old, shortly after discovering punk music. At first I thought punk was just nihilism, misanthropy, self destruction, Sid Vicious. Then when I was 15 I got beat up by the cops; the experience changed my life. It was the 4th of July, Naples, Florida. Every year there's a fireworks celebration down on the beach by the pier, at least there used to be. Small boardwalks connect the street to the sand. I had gone down early to meet up with a couple friends and I as I stood there on the boardwalk looking out into the sea of people trying to spot my friends, two police officers approached me. I was asked to get off the boardwalk, they said I was blocking the flow of traffic. So I did, I turned around and walked off the boardwalk back down onto the street.
Then the two officers approached me again telling me to get off the boardwalk. I told them I was off the boardwalk. Next thing I knew one of the cops had grabbed me by the neck, twisted my arm behind my back and started dragging me over towards their parked cruiser. They slammed my face down onto the sun-baked trunk of the car., kicked my legs apart and started going through my pockets. Every time I tried to get my head up off the burning trunk it was slammed back down harder. After a long and immature verbal exchange, most of the immaturity being on my part (I think the words "fucking" and "pig" were used quite a lot if I remember correctly) they cuffed me and threw me into the back of the cruiser. The one cop stood there taunting me through the window until more officers showed up on the scene, at which point they pulled me out of the cruiser. My body went limp and I fell to my knees. Two officers pulled me up, one on each elbow, putting all my weight onto my cuffed wrists, my legs kicked out involuntarily, two other cops grabbed one each. They brought me around to the other side of the cruiser and dropped me face first into the middle of the street. One officer put a boot to my head, another put a knee in my back and then they proceeded to hog-tie me. I was then lifted up like a suitcase, held by an elbow and a leg and thrown into the back of a different cruiser.
When I got down to the station I remember the main officer who instigated the whole thing opening the car door and telling me he was going to cut my legs free, that if I kicked him he would put a bullet in my head. I was charged with Battery On An Officer and Resisting Arrest With Violence, two felony charges that I was convicted of despite my mother hiring an attorney that she couldn't really afford. I know now it was a small injustice compared to other instances of police violence I've heard of over the years, I was just a dirty punk kid who walked past the wrong cops, but at the time I was more than outraged.
The experience politicized me. I dropped out of high school. I started doing a zine. I started a distro of political pamphlets and Anarcho-punk records. I started a Food Not Bombs chapter with a group of friends. We met other like minded people across Florida and started a radical activist network. We organized protests, we organized gatherings, workshops, participated in direct action. I was a Teenage Anarchist. When I was younger my opinions where very black and white, I was either for or against something, and that's how I defined myself. A lot of those opinions where formed by social influence from the scene I was a part of, being younger I felt the need to belong to something, a group of people, I wanted acceptance. Over time I realized how some people use their positions of stature to pursue their own personal agenda's, selling their own personal brand of self- serving revolution. This all being the complete opposite of what drew me towards Anarchism in the first place. I found that the people who professed the loudest that they were the most open minded individuals were in fact usually the most close minded. I feel like the revolution sold to me when I was a teenager by the punk scene, by the Anarchist scene was a lie. The real revolution was the political awakening. That initial spark that made me want to change the world. And that's what I'm interested in, maintaining that fire. That's what the song is about. I am an autonomous individual. I think for myself. I have no need to supplement my identity through belonging to a scene or exclusively endorsing any brand of political thought. And if anyone is offended by that I feel like it only reaffirms my conviction. For if it's heresy for an Anarchist to say "FUCK Anarchy" then Anarchism is truly just another flag, and I say burn it along with the rest of them.
