Interview: Tom Gabel (Against Me!) talks major label departure, new drummer and new music

Tom Gabel of the Florida punk band Against Me! recently talked with Spin about the band’s major label experience, their new drummer and his music release plans for the next decade. Their most recent record, White Crosses, was named one of the magazine’s 40 best of the year, and the band announced last week that they had left Sire/Warner Records.

“It definitely feels like a cliché to call it a clean slate, but it’s true,” Gabel said of their departure from the label. They were with Sire for five years, and Gabel said they’re ready for a new experience. Read the full interview here.
