Celebrated American rock band Against Me! has announced its upcoming 2017 dates supporting Green Day on the “Revolution Radio” tour. This follows winter UK and European dates from 6 to 22 December 2016 in support of latest album Shape Shift With Me. You can buy the new album on clear vinyl, CD or download from Xtra Mile's online shop now.
Taking in 24 evenings within arenas across North America, the “Revolution Radio” tour will feature Against Me! on all dates and run from 1 March to 8 April 2017. All dates can be found below and on XMR's gig page.
Shape Shift With Me, Against Me!’s critically acclaimed seventh full-length studio album, has the distinction of the first album frontwoman Laura Jane Grace has written truly from the heart, with no metaphorical cloaks cast over the lyrics. It’s an album about love, that deceptively complex emotion we all struggle with yet has somehow eluded most of Grace’s songwriting for the past 20 years. Watch latest video for 'Crash' from the album below.
“This was one of the most difficult videos we've ever made because it was filmed in outer space,” said drummer Atom Willard. “The time it took to get there alone was enough to make some bands back down from the challenge, but we really believed it was the only way to fully realize our vision.” Directed by Jason Thrasher, the video was actually made possible through the kind generosity of the 40 Watt Club in Athens, GA who let the band film on location.
Frontwoman Laura Jane Grace has also announced the release of her upcoming memoir titled TRANNY: Confessions of Punk Rock’s Most Infamous Anarchist Sellout. TRANNY is a searing account of Grace’s search for identity and true self. The highly anticipated book also reveals the struggles and victories that the artist experienced in her quest for gender transition. Written with Noisey editor Dan Ozzi and illuminated by Grace’s never-before-published journal entries reaching back to childhood, TRANNY is an intensely personal and revelatory look inside her struggles with identity and addiction. Grappling with everything from sex, drugs, failed marriages, music, and soul of a punk rock star, this memoir paints a vivid portrait of one of the most revolutionary transgender icons of our time.
