Against Me! has Nervous Energy.

If you've followed any branch of "indie" or "punk" music, you've probably at least heard the name Against Me! somewhere along the lines. the northern florida punkers who made some great records early on, then managed to somehow alienate half of their fanbase by signing to a major label after they said they wouldn't. We live in trying times, people....Musicians have to make a living too.

Lineup changes plagued AM! around 2007 or so, with longtime drummer Warren Oakes jumping ship to open a restaurant back in Gainesville. Hot Water Music's George Rebelo was soon enlisted to jump behind the kit and record/tour with AM! As fate would have it though, George's commitments w/ HWM soon began to again make themselves known. Somehow Jay Weinberg (son of E Street Band stickman and late night band leader, Max Weinberg) found his way into the lineup and he'll be rocking behind the kit as Against Me! begins to tour. Jay is hittin' the skins hard in this vid, and so it appears that he's more than suitable to be the next in a revolving door of drummers. Let's just hope he doesn't go all "This is Spinal Tap" on thangs.

Against Me! plays Emo's here in Austin on January 26th, 2011.
