Against Me Return To UK

• 22nd Jul 2010

Following the release of their critically acclaimed new album “White Crosses”, Florida based punk rock heroes Against Me! return to our shores this autumn for a full UK tour. The band recently hit the UK performing an outstanding set at the Slam Dunk Festival as well as a few very intimate club shows. They will be joined on the trek by F**ked Up, Japanese Voyeurs and Crazy Arm.

White Crosses was produced by veteran producer Butch Vig (Green Day, Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins) who also produced Against Me!'s 2007 album New Wave. The decision to work with Vig again was a no-brainer. “He gets our band and brings tons of great ideas to the table,” says frontman Tom Gabel. “I really can't imagine a better creative relationship.”

Against Me! spent the past two years touring non-stop in support of New Wave, which was released by Sire Records in July 2007. Called “the most invigorating, zeitgeist-capturing rock album in years” by Spin, New Wave was named the magazine's “Album of the Year”. It also received the same accolade from Big Cheese magazine and appeared in the Top Albums lists in Kerrang!, Rolling Stone, Blender and Rock Sound.
