Reinventing Axl Rose

Against Me!

A definitive folk-punk explosion where acoustic grit meets anthemic basement-show energy. Raw, politically charged, and built for communal shouting.

February 2, 2002 · No Idea Records

Find on Amazon

Relentless, confrontational energy tempered by a deep, communal yearning for a better world.

Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden, explosive transition from the mournful acoustic opening of Pints of Guinness into a full-throttle rhythmic assault.
The communal, fist-pumping gang vocals on the chorus of We Laugh at Danger that turn a small room into a cathedral of noise.
The somber, exhausted clarity of the final track 8 Full Hours of Sleep as the distorted chaos fades into a quiet plea for peace.
