STREAM: “TRUE TRANS SOUL REBEL” (FROM 23 LIVE SEX ACTS)
Total Treble and INgrooves Music Group are proud to announce the brand new live album from celebrated rock band Against Me! titled 23 Live Sex Acts. Recorded over the band’s year-long, 2014 world tour and helmed by Marc Jacob Hudson (Taking Back Sunday, Saves The Day, Worriers), 23 Live Sex Acts is an immersive collection of songs that span the band’s entire catalog and provides the most comprehensive look into the powerful Against Me! live experience. The album also marks Against Me! and Total Treble’s exciting new partnership with independent music distribution and marketing leader INgrooves. “Against Me! constantly pushes the artistic & cultural boundaries as heard in this powerful collection – they continue to redefine rock music, the true essence of punk,” said Bryan Mead, SVP of INresidence Artist Services at INgrooves. “This collaboration is a real labor of love for our team.” 23 Live Sex Acts will be available in stores and online on Friday, September 4. Pre-order for the album is now live on Amazon and iTunes, where an instant grat of “True Trans Soul Rebel” is now available for download with purchase.
Against Me! will also be kicking off their summer North American headlining tour tonight, Monday, June 15, in Raleigh, NC. Touring with supports Frank Iero (My Chemical Romance) and Annie Girl and the Flight, the tour will extend through the middle of July, hitting notable markets such as Pittsburgh, PA on Tuesday, June 23, Detroit, MI on Friday, June 26, Cleveland, OH on Sunday, June 28, Minneapolis, MN on Saturday, July 4, Winnipeg, MB on Saturday, July 11, Vancouver, BC on Friday, July 17, and culminate in a performance at the Neptune Theatre in Seattle, WA on Sunday, July 19.

2014 was a pivotal year for the four members of Against Me!, a year that included world touring and the release of its widely acclaimed sixth full-length album, Transgender Dysphoria Blues, that landed on countless year-end lists. It was also an especially successful year for frontwoman Laura Jane Grace who starred in her own AOL Originals series titled True Trans With Laura Jane Grace, a 10-episode docu-series that was nominated for “Outstanding Documentary” at the 2015 GLAAD Media Awards. While continuing to work on her highly-anticipated memoir and performing solo shows around the country that included storytelling and spoken word, the cultural icon also served as Music Director for MTV‘s Rebel Music, a series of documentary films about youth, music and global social change, focused on youth protest movements in the most challenging and turbulent parts of the world. Grace is also currently a contributing writer to Noisey where she writes a bi-weekly advice column titled Mandatory Happiness and, alongside the legendary Joan Jett, recently loaned her support for Miley Cyrus‘ “Happy Hippie Foundation,” a non-profit whose mission is to rally young people to fight injustice facing homeless youth, LGBT youth and other vulnerable populations.
With the upcoming release of 23 Live Sex Acts, Against Me! will remain one of the hardest working bands in music as they continue to tour and deliver empowering commentary through its passionate punk that’s been revered for over 15 years.
