Against Me!

Seb - 2-18-2004 at 02:25 PM

I was wondering if anyone on here listens to Against Me!? They are from Gainesville, Florida. They have a few MP3's on their website.

sorry Seb never even heard of em'

MichelleRene - 2-19-2004 at 05:24 AM

I've never heard of them either. What kind of music is it?

By the way I love your Willy Hung avatar! The "Bang" part gets me...it reminds me of the old Batman episodes..."Caaapoow!", "Boooom!", "She Banggggg"...:lol:

DJAtticDragon - 2-19-2004 at 06:38 AM

I'm interested, what kind of music are they frontin.

Peace!

Seb - 2-19-2004 at 09:30 AM

They play a folkish kind of punk. I think they are fucking awesome, but the singer isnt the best, so most people dont relaly like them.
Heres their site, http://againstme.net/.

Heres some of their mp3's(click the song names)

What we worked for

wow someones a fan! :) what are you getting outta all this promotion:yes:?

DJAtticDragon - 2-19-2004 at 11:11 AM

Okay, I listened to em...now what should I do first, shoot myself in the foot, or...beat myself over the head with a basesall bat. Your right, this guy can't sing, MAN! no intonation WHATSOEVER!!! As far as everthing else, I'd get tired of the same 4 chords being played over and over again, I don't know, to each their own. Man...I feel stupider just for listening to it.

Cool, Thankyou for sharing :D, You got to tell me how you got the songs up and running like that so I could post my remix like that.

Peace! morecoolthanFreddyJacksonsippinonamilkshake...

RoboticTerrorSTD - 2-19-2004 at 12:49 PM

i didn't really like them....i guess mostly because of the singer.:wow:

MichelleRene - 2-19-2004 at 01:31 PM

Yeah Seb, thanks for sharing. How did you hear about this band? Are they popular where you live?

Thanksforsharingsebeventhoughdragondidn'tappreciateit.....:lol::wow:

Seb - 2-19-2004 at 03:28 PM

Like I said before, the singer is really bad. I had a feeling most of you wouldnt like them. MichelleRene, I have been listening to them for a while. They are not very popular where I live(they arent popular in general). The music scene in Vancouver is pretty crappy, everyone listens to Nickelback, etc...

TurtleEnterprises - 2-20-2004 at 02:35 PM

I member mr.T came to our highschool and we had to pay 1 dollar to see him, So we paid a buck and got to ask him anything. My friend was able to ask him something and he asked him if that was really him on the chipmunks episode, and yea it was...:D, how pathetic a buck:yawn:

MichelleRene - 2-20-2004 at 02:53 PM

:o He made you pay a dollar to meet him? What an ass....

TurtleEnterprises - 2-20-2004 at 04:37 PM

filfofepitomy - 3-3-2004 at 10:51 PM

Did AgainstMe! change singers or something? I always kind of liked their singer...one of the few who always had emotion in his voice.

I recommend "Walking Is Still Honest."

They have the same singer. The recording for The eternal cowboy is better than previous records, his voice has also improved.

filfofepitomy - 3-4-2004 at 11:36 AM

Hence why I like "Walking is Still Honest."

That was first AgainstMe! song I'd ever heard, and I was blown away just from that one song. Havn't heard the newer stuff yet...but I really liked "Reinventing Axl Rose". Hmm....

glamcore - 3-4-2004 at 01:02 PM

The new Against Me! is fab. I'm not really for the old stuff, but the new album drives me mad!

No Idea Records

filfofepitomy - 3-4-2004 at 07:51 PM

Dang! I remember hearing he had financial problems, but that's low.

Seb - 6-11-2005 at 10:16 AM

I finally saw AM! a week ago, it was the best show I have ever seen and will probably be one of the best shows I will ever see. I was nust, I got the whole Against Me! experience. By the end of the concert we were all on stage singing along, passing the mic around. Theres a bit of a recap and photos on this page http://againstme.net/board/viewtopic.php?t=1354 . You can see me in the third photo, im in the middle with the orange tshirt.

imarob2 - 6-14-2005 at 01:45 PM

i totally agree... they are amazing live. except while at their show, i got punched in the back in the head and lost my brand new exactly-a-week-old glasses into the pit. definitely a downer... still, one of the best shows ive been to. just make sure to wear contacts, if need be;)
