Interview: Against Me!

A week into their triumphant return to the UK, things seemed bleak for Against Me! after frontman, Tom Gabel, was reported to have suffered a throat infection. Thankfully, amidst all that panic, Alter The Press had the opportunity to sit down with the deep-rooted, down to earth bassist for the band, Andrew Seward, despite the limited time. We discussed the DIY direction that the band is going in as well as new addition Jay Weinberg.

Alter The Press: You've set up your own record label recently, Total Treble Music. Do you plan to sign artists or is this label strictly for Against Me! only?
Andrew Seward (bass): I think other bands will be released on the label but, it's definitely the home of Against Me! now, there are no rules of restrictions on it though so we'll see.

ATP: After a small break last year, you released the 'Russian Spies/Occult Enemies' single. The music was a lot rawer, is this the direction you plan to go with the new material?
Andrew: I don't think it embodies a direction for future material, it's kind of what it is. We had a week in between tours and Tom had wrote these really rocking songs and we were in Madison, Wisconsin and Butch, who produced the last two LPs, owns a studio up there called Smart studios, where The Smashing Pumpkins recorded "Gish", and we basically just ran in there and recorded those two songs in between tours. I don't know if that has anything to do with the rawness of it, maybe because there was 6 feet of snow everywhere or there were protests going on in the state capital. I'm not sure, I like the sound of it though.
