AGAINST ME! ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM DETAILS/UK TOUR

Against Me!

Press Release:

Florida punk band Against Me! have announced the track-listing and release date for their upcoming new album “White Crosses”. The album, the bands second for Sire Records, will be released on June 7th, 2010.

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.”

Gabel began writing the songs on “White Crosses” more than a year and a half ago. Pre-production with Vig began in early July and the band, which also includes guitarist James Bowman, bassist Andrew Seward, and new drummer George Rebelo (formerly of Hot Water Music) began tracking last August.

As far as the album’s overall direction, “I feel like we are constantly pushing ourselves to better what we did on the previous record,” Gabel says. “New Wave was a great album to make, and now we want to show another side of the band. The new songs feel like a natural progression of where we should be at. Our intentions, as always, are to deliver the best record we can possible make.”

The track-listing for White Crosses is as follows:
White Crosses
I Was a Teenage Anarchist
Because of the Shame
Suffocation
We’re Breaking Up
High Pressure Low
Ache with Me
Spanish Moss
Rapid Decompression
Bamboo Bone
