It’s hard to think of another band that is as heavily criticized as Against Me! for every decision they’ve made as a band. Whether it’s signing to FAT, or to Sire, or releasing a new record, or filming videos, or playing larger venues, or polishing their sound, or an assortment of other things, Against Me! seems to be the go-to punk band that “lost their way.”

Last week, Punknews interviewer Ollie Ottoman snuck out of work in the middle of the day to have a phone conversation with Tom Gabel. For all the slack the man gets, on the phone he sounds calm, articulate, and just in good spirits. Having just finished a tour with the Silversun Pickups, I caught up with him to discuss their new album, the recent changes the band has undergone, and why the addition of a new keyboard player involved a bag of porno.
