    These guys are AMAZING live. Seriously, go see them live, they'll blow you away. I got to meet them at Lollapalooza last summer, they were all such nice guys.

    Like this band a lot. "Walking Is Still Honest" is probably my favorite tune by them.

    Hmmm... avatar ->

    I've been following them for a fair few years, the last album was truly epic - a real nice blend of pop-punk and rock. Should have been much more acclaimed than it was imo.
    Still waiting for them to rebook the cancelled UK dates from last year - they are bloody amazing live :)

    Yes, I have been to some Pearl Jam concerts. Several of them.

    Definitely not into this 'era' of music. Screamo/Emo/Punk mishmash. Glad you all like it though!

    Lead singer is now Laura Jane Grace. (or always has been ?)
    Saw them last year at riot fest chicago. Wild, young energetic, crowd, yet not great live.
    Enjoy most of their music.

    And you better believe I was the oldest freak in the pit. :wink:

    the album is incredible. This is easily my favourite band of the last decade. I cannot recommend seeing them live enough. The energy, honesty, and sincerity are incredible.

    saw them last night in philly.  missed the first band, but caught the second band called Bleached.  They were good actually covered Nirvana's Territorial Pissings.  Against Me! went on about 10:25 or so and played for about an hour and 45 minutes or so.  Lot of songs, 27 i believe.  Actually a lot off their first album and their last two.  also covered tom petty's runnin' down a dream.  poster was pretty interesting.  was a jean jacket with trump's face on it and Calvin peeing on it.


    also Laura was talking about her first guitar and was saying that she would jam out to some Pearl Jam :smile:

    The show was awesome tonight. They played my second favorite second of theirs, Rebecca. So happy right now.
    Anything you lose from being honest
    You never really had to begin with.


    Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.
