You’ll have to wait a few more months to hear New Wave, the forthcoming record by Florida punks Against Me!; but trust us when we say it’s well worth the wait, and that it will compel you to print up anti-war pamphlets and renew your MRR subscription. In the meantime, here are two tracks from the group’s 2005 album Searching For A Former Clarity, including “From Her Lips To God’s Ears (The Energizer),” the best song about a Secretary of State since Black Flag’s “George Shultz Is A Dick”:

to really appreciate these guys it defintely helps to listen to them from a few different points in their history – started off as acoustic campfire punk and has grown into a pretty big thing all the while dealing with calls of sell out along the way. what they do they do well.
‘Searching’ is pretty stellar from top to bottom. I look forward to what they have to allow on ‘New Wave’.
