"Against Me! is a folk punk band formed in Naples, Florida, later relocated to Gainesville, Florida. Their first full-length album, released on No Idea Records in 2002, is Reinventing Axl Rose. They have released music on Plan It X Records, Sabot Productions, No Idea Records and Fat Wreck Chords. In December of 2005, they signed to Sire Records. Tom Gabel started the band as a solo act with vocals and acoustic guitar, occasionally with backup from drummers or bassists. This period in the band was marked by playing a guerrilla show in a college apartment complex laundromat, emphasizing the folk-punk aspect of their work. He put out one demo tape by himself, entitled 'Against Me!'. Another was released out the following year, with a slightly more complete band, titled Vivida Vis. An obscure five-song vinyl-only 12" EP on the ill-fated Crasshole Records surfaced in 2000, but only 150 copies were ever officially released, due to a mastering error. A four song 7 inch/six song EP was joint-released on Plan It X Records and Sabot Records entitled 'Crime, As Forgiven By Against Me!'." |
