Сегодня хотим предоставить вам обзор музыкальной банды Against Me! У многих сложился стереотип что если антифа группа, то полюбому какие жесткие хардкор пацаны выносят щщи в моше. Мы не хотим сказать, что это не так и что мы не выносим щщи в моше :) Выносим. Но ведь нужно смотреть шире. Данный пост - это напоминание, что панк - это протест. Протест против этой гнилой системы. И называя себя панком ты должен понимать - это не просто шмотки, концертики и кутежи. Это целый мир. Другой мир. Мир панк рока. Альтернатива есть.
"Государство не есть что-то такое, что может быть разрушено революцией. Государство - это состояние, некое взаимоотношение между людьми, образ человеческого поведения; мы можем уничтожить его, только создав другую взаимосвязь, ведя себя по-другому. "
Against Me! — американская рок-группа, образовавшаяся в 1997 году в Нейплсе, Флорида, и исполняющая панк-рок с элементами фолк-рока. Три первых альбома Against Me! выпустили на независимых лейблах, в 2005 году перешли на Sire: здесь в декабре 2007 года вышел альбом New Wave, принесший им международную известность.
Небольшая история группы
История Against Me! берет начало в 1993 году, когда Том Габел, Джеймс Боуман и Дастин Фридкин (басист первого состав), ученики средней школы в городе Нейплс, штат Флорида, объединились на почве любви к радикальному панк-рок, чем восстановили против себя консервативно настроенных старшеклассников. После жестокой драки родители отправили Боумана к сестре в Сент-Питерберг, Флорида, а Гэйбел перешёл на домашнюю программу обучения, которую так и не завершил. Аттестат (GED) он получил только в 19 лет, уже находясь в специальном учебном заведении для подростков, исключённых из средних школ. Работая на автопредприятии, он начал играть на бас-гитаре в грандж-группе Common Affliction и писать собственные песни.
В 1997 году 17-летний Гэйбл образовал первый (акустический) вариант Against Me!. В течение последующих трёх лет он сумел призвать под знамёна группы старых школьных друзей — в их числе был гитарист Джеймс Боуман (англ. James Bowman) и драммер Уоррен Оукс (англ. Warren Oakes) — и завоевать авторитет на американской андеграундной сцене.
В 2002 году после выхода Reinventing Axl Rose в Against Me! пришёл Эндрю Сьюард, уроженец Теннесси; так сформировался состав группы, по сей день сохраняющий стабильность. Альбом привлёк внимание Толстяка Майка (англ. Fat Mike) из NOFX, и тот подписал группу к своему лейблу Fat Wreck Chords, где вышли альбомы As the Eternal Cowboy и Searching for a Former Clarity.
Получая многочисленные предложения от «мажорных» компаний, участники группы раз за разом отклоняли их, но не сразу, а после продолжительных переговоров (включавших приемы, ужины, раздачу подарков и т. д.). В 2004 году юмористический видеорепортаж об этих похождениях Against Me! выпустили как документальный DVD «We’re Never Going Home». Фильм имел большой резонанс: о группе заговорили как об «истинных» панках, не боящихся открыто высмеивать нравы музыкального бизнеса.
Общественное мнение резко переменилось по отношению к группе после 2005 года, когда она подписала контракт с Sire Records. По всей стране по этому поводу прокатились «демонстрации протеста», одна из которых завершилась дракой с фэном и арестом Гэйбла. Вышедший в 2007 году альбом New Wave (по мнению «Керранга») продемонстрировал полную абсурдность обрушившись на группу обвинений: она не утратила радикальности, выдав острые комментарии на глобальные политические темы («White People For Peace», «American Abroad») и ответив на критику контр-выпадами («Up the Cuts», «Piss and Vinegar») против американского «альтернативного рока» в целом.

Against Me! - I Was A Teenage Anarchist
Текст песни Against Me! - I Was A Teenage Anarchist
I was a teenage anarchist, looking for a revolution.
I had the style, I had the ambition.
I read all the authors, I knew the right slogans.
There was no war but the class war.
I was ready to set the world on fire.
I was a teenage anarchist, looking for a revolution.
Do you remember when you were young and you wanted to set the world on fire?
I was a teenage anarchist, but the politics were too convenient.
In the depths of their humanity all I saw was bloodless ideology.
And with freedom as the doctrine, guess who was the new authority?
I was a teenage anarchist, but the politics were too convenient.
Do you remember when you were young and you wanted to set the world on fire?
I was a teenage anarchist, but then the scene got too rigid.
It was a mob mentality, they set their rifle sights on me.
Narrow visions of autonomy, you want me to surrender my identity.
I was a teenage anarchist, the revolution was a lie.
Do you remember when you were young and you wanted to set the world on fire?
I was a teenage anarchist.

Текст песни Against Me! - Baby, Im an Anarchist
Through the best of times,
Through the worst of times,
Through Nixon and through Bush,
Do you remember '36?
We went our seperate ways.
You fought for Stalin.
I fought for freedom.
You believe in authority.
I believe in myself.
I'm a molotov cocktail.
You're Dom Perignon.
Baby, what's that confused look in your eyes?
What I'm trying to say is that
I burn down buildings
While you sit on a shelf inside of them.
You call the cops
On the looters and piethrowers.
They call it class war,
I call it co-conspirators.
'Cause baby, I'm an anarchist,
You're a spineless liberal.
We marched together for the eight-hour day
And held hands in the streets of Seattle,
But when it came time to throw bricks
Through that Starbucks window,
You left me all alone.
You watched in awe at the red,
White, and blue on the fourth of july.
While those fireworks were exploding,
I was burning that fucker
And stringing my black flag high,
Eating the peanuts
That the parties have tossed you
In the back seat of your father's new Ford.
You believe in the ballot,
Believe in reform.
You have faith in the elephant and jackass,
And to you, solidarity's a four-letter word.
We're all hypocrites,
But you're a patriot.
You thought I was only joking
When I screamed "Kill Whitey!"
At the top of my lungs
At the cops in their cars
And the men in their suits.
No, I won't take your hand
And marry the State.
'Cause baby, I'm an anarchist,
You're a spineless liberal.
We marched together for the eight-hour day
And held hands in the streets of Seattle,
But when it came time to throw bricks
Through that Starbucks window,
You left me all alone.
Through the worst of times,
Through Nixon and through Bush,
Do you remember '36?

Текст песни Against Me! - Don't Lose Touch
You're not saying anything we haven't heard before.
You're caught up in an argument.
Oh, oh you're so lost in modern art.
You will lose it all.
And you will find again.
Don't lose touch.
Don't lose touch.
S.O.S. texted from a cell phone?
Please tell me I'm not the only one,
that thinks we're taking ourselves too seriously,
Just a little too enamored with inflated self-purpose.
Talk is cheap.
And it doesn't mean much.
Don't lose touch.
Don't lose touch.
I'm losing touch.
I'm losing touch.
Constant entertainment for our restless minds.
Constant stimulation for epic appetites.
Is there something wrong with these songs?
Maybe there's something wrong with the audience.
Manipulation in rock music, fucking nausea.
I'm losing touch.
I'm losing touch, and it's obvious.

Against Me! - Turn Those Clapping Hands Into Angry Balled
Текст песни Against Me! - Turn Those Clapping Hands Into Angry Balled
Sleep on pillows made in Singapore
Wrapped in comforters
Sweating through sheets
Drinking coffee in the morning
Floating on Airplanes across the vast seas
And your house is made of wood
Central air, central heat
You got your furniture of particle board
Your doors are locked for, for safety
And you walk in leather shoes
Pants of denim, a black cotton sweatshirt
And you do what you do
because doing can start to form a habit
And you drink all night long
And you sleep through the morning
And if something doesn't break
I'm just gonna go, go fucking insane
And you sweep up the floor when it's dirty
You do the dishes, when the sink's full
And when the refrigerator's empty
well it's time, it's time, it's time, it's time to go the store
You put your books on a shelf
Clothes arranged in the closet
You hang the things on the wall that you don't wanna be so easily forgotten
I hate these songs
I hate the words
That the singer is singing to me
I hate this melody
I hate this stupid fucking drum beat
But I'm not gonna tell anyone
What I'm really thinking about
Keep them conversations on the surface
Just keep on smiling
Just keep on saying
Everything's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright [x2]
Alright [x11]

Текст песни Against Me! - Stop
Stop! Take some time to think, figure out what's important to you.
Stop! Take some time to think, figure out what's important to you.
Stop! Take some time to think, figure out what's important to you.
You've got to make a serious decision.
[x2]
It could be me up there in stage lights.
It could be me on the TV in you living room.
It could be me jet setting with my band all across the world.
Appearing live in concert one night only, tickets sold out.
Stop! Take some time to think, figure out what's important to you.
Stop! Take some time to think, figure out what's important to you.
Stop! Take some time to think, figure out what's important to you.
You've got to make a serious decision.
There I am giving candid disclosure to press in interview.
There I go on my way through the crowd up to the podium.
On behalf of our fans we'd like to accept this award.
Smile for the camera boys, gold record in hand.
Stop! Take some time to think, figure out what's important to you.
Stop! Take some time to think, figure out what's important to you.
Stop! Take some time to think, figure out what's important to you.
You've got to make a serious decision.
All of our lives in waiting.
All of our lives traded for their roses and applause.
All of our lives dedicated to shoving it right back in their fucking face.
Stop! Take some time to think, figure out what's important to you.
Stop! Take some time to think, figure out what's important to you.
Stop! Take some time to think, figure out what's important to you.
You've got to make a serious decision.
I said you've got to make a serious decision.
Stop! Take some time to think.

We can control the medium.
We can control the context of presentation.
Is there anybody on the receiving end?
Reaching out for some kind of connection.
Come on and wash these shores away.
Come on and wash these shores away.
I am looking for the crest,
I am looking for the crest of a new wave.
We can be the bands we want to hear.
We can define our own generation.
Is there anybody on the receiving end?
Are you ready to brave new directions.
Come on and wash these shores away.
Come on and wash these shores away.
I am looking for the crest,
I am looking for the crest of a new wave.
Let breathe new dawn this art is dead!
No signs of original thought in the mainstream.
Is there anybody on the receiving end?
We can eclipse all that came before us.
Come on and wash these shores away.
Come on and wash these shores away.
I am looking for the crest,
I am looking for the crest of a new wave.

Текст песни Against Me! - Borne On The FM Waves Of The Heart
No, it's not what we meant to say.
We don’t really love each other.
What happens when the summer’s over?
How long before distance becomes a chore?
I'm approaching with great, great trepidation.
I hope you’ll understand.
Before you speak think about what you're trying to say.
Who else is there to blame for miscommunication?
You're getting caught up in the excitement.
You making promises you can’t keep.
You need to leave all your options open.
Too much momentum.
This room feels like it's going to explode.
Too many angles.
Too many factors to cover.
Waiting for signal.
You're searching for network.
You have to fight to stay in control of the situation.
Anxiety, Anxiety you give me no mercy.
Grind my teeth smooth and flat in my sleep.
We took some pills to calm us down.
Then we needed help to come back up.
Just trying to stay in control of the situation.
Too much momentum.
This room feels like it's going to explode.
Too many angles.
Too many factors to cover.
Waiting for signal.
You're searching for network.
You have to fight to stay in control of the situation.
They fall apart so easily.
Too much momentum.
This room feels like it's going to explode.
Too many angles.
Too many factors to cover.
Waiting for signal.
You're searching for network.
You have to fight to stay in control.
You have to fight to stay in control.
No, you don’t have to fight to stay in control of the situation.

Against Me! - White People for Peace
Текст песни Against Me! - White People for Peace
East and West could not agree
So their generals gave a call and gathered troops at the border
With guns ready, drawn and aimed
each side was praying to a God
to bless them with strength and courage
it was in His name that artillery lit the sky on fire
the people sang protest songs to try and stop the soldier's gun
Protest Songs in a response to Military Aggression
Protest songs to try and stop the soldier's gun
But the battle raged on......
Sirens filled the air and the ground shook with war
Civilian casualties has been a cost that was predetermined
when interviewed for report victims pleaded in frustration
Their claim: That this was a war without reason
Bureaucrats engaged in debate to try and reach a resolution
the people sang protest songs to try and stop the soldier's gun
Protest Songs in a response to Military Aggression
Protest songs to try and stop the soldier's gun
But the battle raged on......
The Broadcast like their prayers went unanswered and ignored
god, like the rest of the world, just watched in silence
There was purpose to be served, there were fortunes to be earned
before a peace could be called to stop the fighting
Protest Songs in a response to Military Aggression
Protest songs to try and stop the soldier's gun
But the battle raged on......

And we'll keep ourselves in a place where it's easy to hold onto.
And as the last threats came and went; this is the way that wars are played.
Always heading for a front, heading for a front, headed we go.
Into the obscurity of an easy to pass on feeling
Objection is so cliché.
A new way on.
A new way on.
A new way on.
A new way on.
So can your pop sensibilities sing me the end of the world?
Turn gunshots and mortar blasts into a metaphor of how we are all the same.
Well there's a lot of things that should be said, said, so we're hammering six strings.
Machine gun in audible voices, this is the party we came for.
A new way on.
A new way on.
A new way on.
A new way.
We stand in amazement of motion in a world that is constantly revolving.
With plans of invasion and arms races racing, yeah we rock, we rock, we rock, we rock to the new sensation.
A new way on.

Against Me! - Problems
Текст песни Against Me! - Problems
An inventory has been taken of every belonging
An estimated value sold in event of emergencies
The only backup plan in case it doesn't work out
In losing all semblance of coherence to a former self
You know I am becoming the choices we're making
No problems,
problems with everything
Problems,
problems with everything
Oh God No...
Sometimes it's like conversations are a waking dream
A third party perspective
An audience to themselves
You can almost hear the sound traveling
It's caused a feeling of anticipation
When all of the sudden you know what's gonna happen
They saw the paranoids, they rebuild your world
They neither eat nor sleep they have no name you know..
Here in the worst, I will become, the best of them all
No more problems,
problems with anything
No more problems,
problems with anything
