Against Me! is a fantastic band. I've been listening to them on and off for the past couple of months. They come off as a hardcore punk band, which actually makes a fair amount of sense considering that many of the lyrics are insightful and the vocals have an angry sound to them.
On the other hand, they are absolutely fantastic. I had been listening to here two most recent albums, New Wave, and Americans Abroad!!! Against Me!!! Live in London!!! and been loving every second of it. I finally tracked down their The Acoustic EP and wow! It's fantastic! I highly recommend you check them out.
Two words of warning: First, the guy sounds like he's smoke 3 packs a day since before he could walk. It's harsh sounding, although strangely it doesn't detract from the music but rather adds to it. Secondly, this is a traditional punk album: the lyrics are all about anger and anarchy, etc. etc. On the other hand, it isn't a thrash album, so you can actually understand what the hell he's saying most of the time.
