Against Me! - White People For Peace

Florida based punk outfit Against Me! have been on the scene for some time now, having already released three successful albums on indie labels and touring worldwide following their release.
This year the band face their biggest achievement yet, the release of their fourth album on major label Sire Records.
'New Wave' is set for release this summer, and judging by this snippet of rage-ridden punk, it is set to be equally as intense.
'White People For Peace' is an instantly catchy grunge tinged punk tune, displaying the dark vocals of Tom Gabel which are reminiscent of a young Alkaline Trio.
The band's political tendancies are unavoidable, and one must wonder of the music world needs another band singing in protest to the war on terror.
If Against Me! can demonstrate their intelligence amongst the good melodies and thrashing guitars, 'New Wave' is set to be a pretty awesome album.
