Against Me! Live at Rolling Stone: Watch the Set

Florida punks strip down four tracks from latest disc 'White Crosses'

June 15, 2010 5:31 PM ET

In 2007, Florida punks Against Me! broke out with the raging, Butch Vig-produced disc New Wave. They still have plenty to bitch about on their new disc White Crosses, which features frontman Tom Gabel's angry-as-hell screeds against anti-abortion activists and deeply felt reflections on life as a teenage anarchist.

Against Me! recently dropped by the Rolling Stone offices to perform four tracks from the record — and while the band went acoustic, they didn't lose an ounce of their raucous punk spirit. Check out clips of the band rocking "I Was a Teenage Anarchist," "Ache With Me," "Spanish Moss" and "White Crosses" (featuring ex-Hold Steady member Franz Nicolay on accordion). Also check out our review of White Crosses .

“Is It True”

Brenda Lee | 1964

As the British Invasion reached its peak in 1964, Brenda Lee went from Nashville to London to record one of her hardest-rocking hits, her perky vocal backed by a stuttering, squalling guitar. That guitar was played by session musician Jimmy Page, yet to skyrocket to fame with first the Yardbirds and then Led Zeppelin. "She said to me, 'I've come here to make a record with the British sound,'" remembered producer Mickie Most. "She felt she wouldn't get the same sound in Nashville because they're only just catching up on the British beat group sound of about six months ago."
