Against Me!
As the Eternal Cowboy
Fat Wreck Chords (2003)
A nice hodge-podge of genres. I'm not going to get into the "genre" argument, though. This album is too good to waste a review on that moot point.

The Original Cowboy was recorded before they … Read more

Total Treble (2014)
It's been a long time coming, but Against Me! have finally released their sixth album, Transgender Dysphoria Blues. It packs a hit harder than previous records. It's loud. It's powerful. It's full on rock 'n' roll! It took awhile for them to finally get the record to take off. Original recordings weren't cutting it which prompted the band to head back … Read more
