Against Me! have announced they will embark on a nationwide Australian tour this May, their first since unveiling their powerful and critically acclaimed sixth studio album, Transgender Dysphoria Blues. The tour will see them supported by California punk outfit Joyce Manor.
Against Me!’s roots lie in an anarchist solo act launched in Gainesville, Florida in 1997. After transforming into a traditional four-piece a few years later with the addition of guitarist James Bowman, they quickly became a driving force in the punk scene, unleashing a steady stream of acclaimed LPs.
In 2014, the band released Transgender Dysphoria Blues, one of their most talked-about releases to date. The album was the first release from the band since front woman Laura Jane Grace came out as transgender and was a fiery testament to the band’s ability to process the highs and lows of life through music.
“If I didn’t feel like I had something that I really needed to say with the album we’ve been working on for the past year then I’d humbly hang the hat and move on,” said Grace. The band certainly have a lot to say and no doubt punters on their upcoming tour will come away with an experience they’ll never forget.
