"New Wave" gives its name to Against Me!'s 2007 album, the band's fourth and their first for a major label, Sire. Laura Jane Grace wrote the words and music, and Butch Vig, a name forever tied to Nevermind, produced it, with Billy Bush recording, Rich Costey mixing, and Craig Durrance, Alek Edmonds, Claudius Mittendorfer and Charlie Stavish assisting on the engineering side.
The jump to Sire had some fans shouting sellout, and Grace, the band's singer and guitarist, had no patience for it, calling that kind of closed-minded thinking self-defeating. Mixing trouble held the record back from a planned spring release, and it finally reached stores that summer, with "White People for Peace" sent out ahead of it in May.
