Against Me! will be playing a benefit show for The Florida Wildlife Federation. The group is currently engaged in a lawsuit with Centrex Homes over the destruction of sensitive wetland habitat in Marineland.
Other bands playing the show include Environmental Youth Crunch, the Tubers and Civilization. Against Me! signed to Sire late last year, and released Searching for a Former Clarity earlier in 2005. Warner Music Group (263 comments)

Caring about the environment? Playing benefit shows to support things other than their bank accounts? I thought these guys sold out. You can't even do that right, christ. Really, that's cool. I'm sure some douche rocket will say it is just to salavage their cred, but glad to see these dudes are still using their soapbox for good. Unfortunately, I doubt a benefit fo Florida wetlands will be around VA. 2+ Replies

they're still a decent band. just because they signed to a major, some sour motherfuckers will always bandie about the "they're only selling the image of revolution now," but really when you think about it, when have they not? ever since they've been releasing their music for consumption and profit, they're been "selling" their "image of revolution".....and by mainstream standards, Against Me are one of the best bands out there right now. whether they're on Sire records or they're handing out self-pressed 7 in.'s out of their van on a street corner. i for one am glad for the exposure that they're going to get, and hopefully the record exec bigwigs can look past the "mediocre" numbers they might put up (several hundred thousand copies of an album sold is still a drop in the bucket by mainstream industry standards) and tether their faith on AM!'s artistic fucking merits.

Not that they owe me an explaination or anything, but I just don't understand why Against Me! signed with a major. I mean financially wise, wouldn't they be making more money on an indie? Hmm. 5+ Replies

Okay. I've got $12.56 on an iTunes gift certificate that's burning a hole in my pocket. I like to buy physical albums, so I'm looking for records that may be harder to find in a store (I don't like mail order. If I can't hunt it down, I'd rather buy it on iTunes. I know, I'm weird.). Anyway, my tastes are Lawrence Arms (and the Falcon), Jawbreaker, Bad Religion, Ghoti Hook, Farside, Alkaline Trio, Less Than Jake, Replacements, Dillinger Four, Face To Face, Millencolin, etc.... What are some bands I should check out, especially Chicago, Bay area, or Gainseville/No Idea punk I might not've heard of? 10+ Replies

haha wow comments come faster on AM! posts than Anti-Flag ones nowadays... I think it's cool of them. still complete sellouts and they depress me a lot nowadays, but it's a nice gesture. I'm just glad I have Latterman to fill the whole left in my heart by this band. and if you're within range of this show, you should go simply for Environmental Youth Crunch, those kids are the shit.

well, the benefits of signing to a major are more radio play, more promotion, more venues open up to you on tour, basically the marketing/PR machine gets rolling for your band and the the record company really greases a lot of palms and provides a lot of opportunities to get your band heard. HOWEVER....you get paid absolute shit though because most of the money from album sales goes straight back to the record company, which sucks. plus, if you don't make back all the money the record company spent on promoting your band, you're fucked. it's really a double edged sword. but it was their decision. 2+ Replies

After seeing the DVD, and hearing about their major decision, my only thoughts were, "Did Warren leave the band?" He seemed very against the major label.

Any Floridian knows that it's already way too late to save our state's ecosystem. All we can do is pray for South Florida's irrevocable destruction by the biggest Category 5 in history. Seriously, that shit needs to be flushed into the ocean. Try and find a satellite image of Florida if you want a better idea of how evil and cancerous South Floridian development truly is.

sellouts are fags. but just because u care about the enironment and the fucking world around you doesnt make u a sellout. theyre still a great band.
Someone (January 23, 2006)
There are a lot worse labels they could've signed too. At least SIRE has had some great bands in the past... The Ramones....and Mandy Moore. joking on the latter
