Their most recent album, Shape Shift With Me, is Against Me!’s seventh studio album is   an incredibly honest and straight-forward collection of work with lyrics written by frontwoman Laura Jane Grace with recording and engineering done by Marc Jacob Hudson. Shape Shift With Me is currently available on all digital platforms as well as physical forms.

Grace says about her album that “Tons of people have written about love. But while love is cliché, it’s infinitely relevant. For me, having always been in a punk band that was expected to be political, I never felt like I had that option to write about feelings in that way. That’s what I ended up being drawn to this time. It’s writing in a way I thought I could never write before, and not giving a shit about expectations.”

The album Shape Shift With Me is an amazingly touching album about traveling the world while experiencing the true emotions and heartbreak of falling in love and falling out. Truly an album to witness live. Tour dates below contain symbols identifying which band will open for Against Me!.
