Quick one for Sunday. Gainesville, Florida's socially conscious, folk influenced punk band Against Me! have a brand new album, New Wave, and a gushing review (4 1/2 stars) and interview piece in the new issue of Spin. Similar in style and content to bands like Rise Against (no relation - but you can't tell me that having the word "against" in the title of your band doesn't pigeon hole you) where Against Me! sets themselves apart is in their blatant love of folk music and those who have bridged the punk-folk gap (see Billy Bragg and Ted Leo as examples).Check out Borne on the FM Waves (mp3) featuring Tegan Quin of Tegan and Sara. It is probably the best summer song I've heard all summer.

Loved their earlier stuff and like the new album okay but it does sound slightly over-produced, well at least I think so. Still, their shows are great.
