Gainesville, Florida (1997 – present)
Against Me! is a punk band originally from Naples, Florida, and later relocated to Gainesville, Florida. They are known for their heavily folk-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.
Tom Gabel started Against Me! in 1997 as a solo act at the age of 17. He 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. Gabel 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.

I haven't but anyway...I think it was a conversation that was never intended to go in that direction but people kept on interpretating it differently...and then it got to the sellout conversation...and then people would inteprtate things wrong again and everything would get repeated. This is why the conversation has gone for so long.

"Sorry everyone, we can't have this conversation anymore because ChrisHa doesn't want to hear it." It's more a case of some people have been having this same conversation for what feels like years now and still haven't moved on from the OMG SELLOUTS stage and it's starting to sound like a broken record, so I'm just trying to move it along a bit :)
