Band Gainesville United States Formed 1997 US punk rock band
Against Me! formed in 1997 in Gainesville, United States. Against Me! has 53 chart appearances on 49 radio countdowns from 30 stations on RockLists, spanning 2007–2023.

Against Me! is Laura Jane Grace's band, and Gainesville, Florida, is its hometown. She started it in 1997 with a lot to shout about, and guitarist James Bowman came aboard early on and has played on every studio album since. After 3 albums on independent labels, As the Eternal Cowboy among them, the band jumped to Sire Records for New Wave in 2007, a bigger, glossier punk record that still kicks like a mule, with "Thrash Unreal" and "Stop!" as its calling cards.
White Crosses and "I Was a Teenage Anarchist" followed in 2010, and the next year the band launched its own label, Total Treble. In 2012 Grace came out publicly as a trans woman, and after a stretch of lineup changes and doubt about the band's future, Transgender Dysphoria Blues arrived independently in January 2014 to acclaim from critics and buyers alike, a raw, furious and deeply personal record.
Shape Shift With Me came out on September 16, 2016, and longtime bassist Andrew Seward came back in 2018. A new album was planned, but the COVID-19 pandemic scuttled it; the band went on indefinite hiatus and Grace started a solo career.
