Biography

Gainesville, Florida (1997 – present)

Against Me! is a band originally from Naples, Florida, and later relocated to Gainesville, Florida. They are known for their heavily -influenced sound and energetic live shows (Spin named them one of the 25 greatest live bands in 2006). Their first full-length album, released on No Idea Records in 2002, was the highly-acclaimed Reinventing Axl Rose. In December 2005, they signed to Sire Records, and released their major label debut, New Wave, on July 10, 2007. June 4, 2010 saw the release of their fifth studio album, White Crosses.

Laura Jane Grace (formerly known as Tom Gabel) started Against Me! in 1997 as a solo act at the age of 17. She would only occasionally perform with support from drummers and/or bassists. This period in the band was marked by playing guerrilla shows in a college apartment complex laundromat, emphasizing the D.I.Y. sentiments of their work. Laura self-released one demo tape, officially entitled Against Me!, but more commonly known as Tom’s Demo. While copies of the cassette itself are extremely rare, internet file-sharing programs have helped to circulate the songs amongst fans.

Another demo cassette was released the following year on Misanthrope Records, with a slightly more complete band, titled Vivida Vis. Only five hundred copies of this album were made, but file-sharing once again popularized it. Perhaps the most well-known song on the record, “Shit Stroll” is still routinely requested by the audience at Against Me! shows. The band rarely, if ever, obliges these requests.

    You all are trying soo hard to show off with your "tolerance" that you just make me sick. Really. So many punk bands became circus, forgetting about what they have to show ppl, but the audience are "saint" clowns too. Yuck.

    Identifying yourself as another species is entirely different than gender identity. Please be a troll.

    So if i identify myself with a a bird , am i a bird? i want that classification written in my driver's license and everywhere. I'm a parakeet bird. And please, always refer to me as "it", not he or she.

    @untalkativer okay, I will admit. You have made me change my mind about this subject with this last post. Thanks for explaining it like that instead of being a dillhole and throwing a label on me that doesn't fit.http://www.mememaker.net/static/images/memes/580538.jpg

    You're both still confusing the biological sex with gender. Gender identity is not determined by what sexual organs you're born with. How have you still not got this? Gender determines what pronouns are appropriate though. If Jim James identifies as a man then you refer to him as him. If Laura identifies as female then you refer to her as her. That's what gender is.

    Dammit. God fucking dammit. I scrolled down here on accident, and sure enough, debate over the sex change. So disrespectful. [2] Can't believe people even view it as a subject that needs debating. She's finally able to publicly be the woman she is and now people have the nerve to argue over whether she's legitimate in doing so. Fuck you, trans*phobes

    it is not my own definition, it is in all science books old or modern. and can't be reversed except if you manage to born again.

    @untalkativer come to think of it. It's more of a question which sex some one is. Jim James often says that he has elements of both genders in him but yet he is still a man and identifies as such. Your argument is invalid.

    rick roll and dreamcoltrane: Making up your own definition of gender and basing your entire argument on it isn't gonna work. jeemajamajimma: That's how society progresses though right? I feel like these discussions are always worth it even if it seems like most people you're talking to will never budge from their backward, disrespectful views (or admit to it anyway), it's worth it for the few that do. Or for anyone reading this shoutbox and just thinking about it.

    There is only face value. For respect , in a personal relation I would call him, "her". But never write "her" in a encyiclopedia, that's wrong. As wrong and as last night in a club, there was a dude i know is a travestite but is very hard to identify. He was kissing a lot of dudes that had no idea he was him. Tell me if it is politically correct, you politically correct people.

    rick-roll is only taking this issue at face value. not a good move.

    vv If you like the band so much, then you should respect Laura Jane Grace's identity. Calling her a man and using her birth name is really transphobic.
