Against Me!

Hi Everybody,

Today's song is the electric version of "Sink, Florida, Sink" by Against Me! off of my favorite comp of all time, Rock Against Bush Vol. 1 + 2.



The original acoustic song is on ...As the Eternal Cowboy, but the acoustic version just doesn't have the same intensity as the electric one. So I chose the one I like more. I love this comp so much because it introduced me to so much: Bad Religion, The Lawrence Arms, NoFX, Rancid, Operation Ivy, Flogging Molly and so much more. Almost every single punk was introduced to punk through a gateway pop-punk band. Mine was Green Day and the only reason I bought the comp was to get that Green Day song. Man, I've gone a long way from then. Now back to the point, Against Me! kicks fuckin' ass. Even though they lost Warren Oakes on drums, I truly think that they are one of the most daring bands out there. They went to a major label... and still made a kick-ass album with New Wave. Now I'm not the biggest fan of White Crosses, but still... people give Tom Gabel so much shit about going to a major label when he only does it to continue making music and make a living off of it. He is one hard working motherfucker who deserves credit where credit is do. I just hope Butch Vig doesn't butcher (pun intended) the next album.

You stay classy, San Diego.
