RETURN?

Hey, in the last months i've been seing some stuff that makes me really believe in a comeback of Agaisnt Me. We had that Rolling Stones interview, some Laura tweets, and today morning i opened the AM spotify page and saw that they put TDB as the artist choice.
Knowing that AM is a totally independent band, this make me believe that some member of the band opened de artist page and choose the album, etc.

It's a little thing but for me sounded like... MOVEMENT, you know? After years AM is finally doing something as a band.

I'm being anxious or this really could be a sign that in a near future we can see AM again?

the page is in Portuguese (im from Brazil)

Severed hand pin

I saw Against Me! For the first time in 2015 and I bought a black and white severed hand pin. It was my first punk show and it really changed my life. I just recently lost it last week and I am pretty upset about it. I thought I'd lost it a few fears back and even back then when I searched for it, it literally doesn't seem to exist anywhere, not even a picture online. Does anyone have even a picture of one to help my search or know where to get one?

Thank you!

in need of a love song

hey guys! my girlfriend is a huge against me! fan, and for valentine’s day i wanted to make her a card. she’s played them around me but i can’t quite remember which ones are love songs, but i also haven’t listened to much by them. so if you guys know any really nice love songs by them or laura jane grace, or have any really cute lyrics, please share!

Old AM! Shirt (I think)

I got this at the 06 warped tour in Detroit and I’m 80% sure it’s an against me shirt. That being said my memory is dicey from nearly 20 years ago. Does anyone remember this print? I can’t find it anywhere online.

They really went “let’s put the three most depressing songs on this album right next to each other”

Shape Shift With Me merch

So I saw Against Me! for the first time in 2016 and bought the SSWM zip up hoodie, and it was my comfort clothing item. That show meant so much to me, as a then closeted trans woman. Unfortunately one of my exes stole the hoodie from me and never gave it back. Anyone know of anywhere I could get a replacement? I’ve been searching online for one for a year or so and haven’t been able to find anything.

10 years of Trans Dysphoria Blues!

Laura made a post expressing her feelings on patreon, make sure to check it out.

This album means so much to so many, definitely one of my personal favorites of all time. I really do love every song and it's basically impossible to pick favorites, but I think Paralytic States deserves some love and is a bit underrated especially. Several of the songs are in my top listened all time when I check my stats like the title track and true trans soul rebel which I have sung along to, occasionally in tears, more times than I can count.

What does it mean to you all?

Okay y'all final product 🫠

Finally got it done, spent around 30 hours over a month on my days off and quite a bit of whiteout 🙃

Thank you all and thank you Against Me! Keep on making music and I'll keep being inspired!

Crime EP cover art

Hey everyone!

Was wondering if anyone knew the origin of the crime EP cover art, it's kinda hard to make out. Is it a specific historical photo? Does it depict mine workers? I'm not American, so i'm unsure. Was thinking about making a patch for my jacket with that EP cover on it and don't wanna wear something without knowing the history behind it.

Almost done my fellows!

There's plenty I still have to fix up but the hard part is done. Learned a lot doing this one like always, ALWAYS, have it done with mechanical pencil before going over it in pen. I'd have far more room haha but hope y'all like it 🫠

Saw Laura live at the Sylvee a few nights ago!

She sang Androgynous by The Replacements with her wife beside her, fuckin perfect for those two, not to mention her playing Thrash Unreal! An awesome time with all of the performers there, but she definitely stole the show when she came on stage. So surreal seeing them both up there, it was a wonderful time.

After a 4 year wait, LJG on NYE Denver!

I had tickets to see AM! in April 2020. I waited patiently as the world shut down, hoping the show would go on, but you know how that went. Haven't seen them since 2014 and man was this show worth the wait! LJG acoustic solo set with all my favorite songs!?! Fuck yeah.

What happened to 23 Live Sex Acts on Apple Music?

I’m streaming from Canada in case it’s relevant but I noticed a couple months ago that most of the songs from 23LSA were unplayable, and now all of them are. Is there label issues going on or something else?

My dog is an Against Me! fan

Once my dog was in the car but he seemed a bit nervous, which is unusual because he usually loves car rides. Usually music helps keep him calm in any situation, so I hit play on the CD player in my car. I didn't remember which CD was in it but it happened to be Shape Shift With Me. With most music it takes a minute or two for him to fully calm down, but with this it was INSTANT.

A few weeks later, I had to take him to the vet for an ear infection. Same CD, he was calm the whole trip there and back even though he wasn't a big fan of having the vet take samples out of his ear for testing. I guess the music helped him get over it haha.

Then today, a friend was over hanging out. When it was time to take her home, he acted like he wanted to come with so I was like "Eh, fuck why not? Come on, bud." I had music playing but it wasn't Against Me! or any Laura Jane Grace related project. My friend noted that he seemed nervous. He was shaking and he wasn't his normal smiley self that he usually is in the car.

So after dropping my friend off, I switched it back to Shape Shift for the drive back. He was instantly calm and smiley and having a good time.

So yeah, my dog found his favorite band😂 he's got good taste!
