    Against Me Against Me! Bassist Andrew Seward Quits Band

    Against Me! bassist Andrew Seward has announced that he has left the band.

    The band has released an official statement below:

    From Andrew, James and Laura

    I’ve left AM!. No drama here. I reached a point where I need to focus on other things. Respect to Laura and James. The last 10 years ruled. -Andrew
    It’s been an honor and privilege to stand on stage with Andrew for the past 10 years. I am sad to see him go, but I wish nothing but the best for him moving forward. – James

    It’s heartbreaking to know that Andrew won’t be standing next to me out on stage the next time I stand upon one.
    I realize that at this point there’s a possibility that it may look pretty ridiculous to carry on playing under the name Against Me!
    If I didn’t feel like I had something that I really needed to say with the album we’ve been working on for the past year then I’d humbly hang the hat and move on.

    Andrew’s been a solid partner. Some of the best sleep I’ve ever gotten has been in the back of a 15 passenger van with him behind the wheel. He’s got a steady hand and has always been someone I’ve trusted. The definition of a good friend. I wish him all the best in his journey. -LJ

    Against Me! announced that they were dropping off the tour on Monday with the following statement:

    Unfortunately we have to cancel all of our appearances scheduled for the upcoming tour with Bad Religion and Polar Bear Club.

    Canceling a tour is definitely not a decision we would make lightly. At this moment, due to our current uncertainty over who is going to be playing drums with us, we feel like we are lacking the ability to put on the show our fans deserve and we think that the best thing for us to do right now is take some time to regroup and finish a record.

    Our most sincere apologies to Bad Religion, Polar Club and all of the agents and promoters involved with the tour but most importantly to the fans who were coming out to see us.
    If anyone who bought tickets doesn’t want to go to the show now or walks away from the show feeling disappointed we’ll definitely do our best to accommodate some spots on our guest list next time we pass through your town, which hopefully won’t be too long from now.

    Sincere apologies. – Against Me!

    Tom Gabel Of Against Me Comes Out As Transgender Tom Gabel Of Against Me! Comes Out As Transgender

    Against Me! frontman Tom Gabel has revealed plans to begin living as a woman. You can read it all here.

    Gabel, who has dealt privately with gender dysphoria for years, will soon begin the process of transition, by taking hormones and undergoing electrolysis treatments.

    Gabel will eventually take the name Laura Jane Grace, and will remain married to her wife Heather. ‘For me, the most terrifying thing about this was how she would accept the news,’ says Gabel. ‘But she’s been super-amazing and understanding.’
