Against Me! Extends U.S. Tour
The punk rock band put out its sixth studio album, Transgender Dysphoria Blues, in January. The LP, which is a concept record about a transgender prostitute, is the first release for the band since singer Laura Jane Grace announced that she is a transgender woman.
“It’s pretty self-explanatory,” Grace told the Associated Press about the album’s title. “I’m a person who’s going through gender transition and a lot of the record was written leading up to the decision to embrace that and to go public with that – in my private life and in my public life.”
