Punk rockers Against Me! have added more dates to their summer tour itinerary, teaming up with indie rock group Speedy Ortiz for what promises to be memorable run of shows. Against Me! have been touring relentlessly since the release of their acclaimed 2016 album Shape Shift With Me, with the band taking time to release special 7-inch single for Record Store Day last year. The band aims to head into the recording studio shortly to work on a new set of material for their 8th studio album.
Speedy Ortiz started out as a solo project for Sadie Dupuis in 2011 but now is a full 4-piece band. The group just released their 3rd full-length record last month in the form of the impressive Twerp Verse. Between Dupuis’ poetic and confrontational lyrics and vocal delivery and plenty of gnarled guitar lines, the group is one of the most impressive indie rock bands in the underground scene today.
