A Coachella Alphabet: Against Me!

Name: Against Me
Genre: Rock
Day: Sunday

Wikipedia sez: “Against Me! is a folk punk band formed in Naples, Florida, later relocated to Gainesville, Florida. The music is a mix between soft rock and punk rock. The vocals change from song to song which adds a nice mystery to what comes next.”

No need to paste the rest of the Wikipedia article, it’s not the most impartial read out there. As for Against Me, they remind me of Flogging Molly except softer, almost with a ballad feel to their songs. That’s not saying they are bad by any means, but it just sounds really half-done. It’s sort of like my take on soft drinks, why bother drinking Diet Coke - either drink the full strength stuff or don’t drink it at all. Wow what a tangent, in summary they sound okay but I doubt I’ll make a point of seeing them.

Likelyhood of Seeing at Coachella: Unlikely
