Against Me! - The Disco Before the Breakdown
Record Label: No Idea Records
Release Date: November 2002
Who?
Gainesville, Florida punk rockers Against Me!, who went from playing acoustic shows in front of less than fifty people to sold out audiences of thousands within a span of eight years. Their music varies between aggressive political punk and soft introspective songs, but singer/guitarist Tom Gabel's distinctive growl and lyrical style allow the band to stand out in a scene full of punk bands that all aim for the same sound.
How is it?
The Disco Before the Breakdown might best be summed up with one of the last lines on the EP: "This is everything up to now ending." Indeed, this EP was the last release the band put out with their raw sound from the Reinventing Axl Rose-era intact. After this, it was onto more polished efforts like As the Eternal Cowboy and New Wave. The raw sound stands the test of time well, though. The title track features a horn section, adding a boost of energy to a band that is already notorious for powerful performances without one. "Tonight We're Gonna Give it 35%" sounds like it would be right at home on Reinventing Axl Rose, with Gabel screaming "And it was alright, because I thought I knew who everybody was just by looking at them" in an extremely aggressive vocal style that would be utilized less and less with each following release. "Beginning in an Ending" brings the EP to a soft close, giving a unique perspective on a relationship that could only come from Against Me! The three songs here are all real gems, which makes it even more unfortunate that The Disco Before the Breakdown is often overlooked next to the band's full lengths.
