But really... Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs? Buffalo fucking Bill?

 

My thoughts exactly.

 

Also, if you guys missed it AgainstMe.net was offering free downloads of the songs from the EP on their website until just recently. Here is my favorite of the two True Trans Soul Rebel if you haven't heard it yet: http://xahhx.tumblr.com/post/56521857204/against-me-true-trans-soul-rebel-does-god

 

These can probably be torrented if you really want both right now (since the AM! website stopped offering the downloads).

What baffles me about this album is that she has put out a solo release before yet put her most personal album out as Against Me!. Based off this ep and the few other songs kicking around that have been done live it is obviously all about one thing, and instead of having it cause the termoil that it took to get it recorded by the band she should have just put it out under her name.

To my understanding Against Me! started out as a Tom Gabel vehicle, and was mostly acoustic jams with drum beats played on an empty suitcase. Against Me! is as much Laura Jane Grace as Bright Eyes is Conor Oberst.

I wouldn't be surprised if this is the last AM! release. Would be a nice way to end the saga and allow Laura to move on to new projects with her new life.

i never thought of that but now that you mention it, it wouldn't surprise me either.

 

if that's the case, i hope they tour so i can catch them one last time.  AM! shows were some of the funnest i've been to.  i was bummed when they dropped off the bad religion tour.  i wasn't really all that stoked on going anymore so i sold my tickets (at a loss).

Laura stated in an interview after andrew left that if they hadnt already put more than a year into the album and it was almost done they would hang it up and call it quits.

 

so i think its safe to say that after this next full length, which was just finished mastering, is released that will be the end of Against Me!.

 

Glad im getting another shot to see them at Riot Fest
