This song was my first exposure to Against Me! and I LOVE this song. This is a "punkish" band that has developed some serious songwriting chops and has gotten a lot of backlash from fans of their early material for their development. Thankfully they're not going the Green Day path and really becoming a pop band...there's still plenty of punk sound and attitude in their songs. SPIN rated their 2007 release New Wave the best record of the year. Their latest record White Crosses is also full of quality tracks, including one that shoots back at their detractors saying they're sellouts: I Was A Teenage Anarchist
Against Me! is from Tampa FL which has produced some good rock bands over the last few years...Anberlin and Underoath are also from Tampa.
