Against Me!'s drummer Warren Oakes quit the band to start a Mexican restaurant in Gainsville Florida.

Apparently they just got the drummer from Hot Water Music to replace him.
I always liked Against Me! except when they made New Wave.
It's kind of hard from going from self proclaimed anarchists to having voting commercials on MTV and not be considered a total sell out.
I still love Reinventing Axl Rose, Searching For a Former Clarity, and As the External Cowboy

I actually don't consider Tom to be a sellout. His solo project totally redeemed him in my eyes.
The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.

its got way more synthesizers and is a lot more acoustic and smooth. You can tell who it is, but it doesn't sound like Against Me!

I just downloaded his solo album.
It's pretty cool, I especially like Anna is a Stool Pigeon.

I really like New Wave. It's different but still good.

This kind of makes me sad. I always enjoyed the drummer at Against Me! shows; not just for his drumming, but he just seemed like a cool guy, and was fun to watch. So, this does make me sad. However, Hot Water's drummer is good, and I hope Against Me! continues to make great, extraordinarily unique sounding, music. On that subject, I can see, and agree (to a point) on how they "sold out." But I am not one to judge, maybe they just changed. They were pretty young during Reinventing Axle Rose. On the subject of New Wave, it was different, which is why I love Against Me! It is not my favorite album, but I did enjoy it, especially Borne on the FM Waves of the Heart. So ya, I hope Against Me! and former drummer Warren Oakes continue to do well.

I can't wait to eat at his restaurant when I go to The Fest this year. The food sounds so good, and I've heard great things about it. I'm so stoked that it's open late too, I'll be getting myself a burrito after all the shows!
