An apology is long over due, to everyone who bought tickets to come out and see us at any of the tour dates we had to cancel this past October and November, we're sorry. Canceling tour dates is the last thing that we ever want to do, especially when the dates have us going to some of our favorite places in the world, but this past October a culmination of circumstances were engulfing us and we had to take some time off from touring to go home and sort things out.
On a related note, after almost a five year relationship we are leaving Sire/Warner. We have nothing but gratitude towards all the people we worked with at the label and feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to make the records we made while with the label.
We'll be getting back out on the road starting with a handful of radio station festival shows early this December. Our friend Jay Weinberg will be sitting behind the drum kit for us, which we're very excited about. In January we're going to be heading out with Fences and Cheap Girls for a couple weeks before joining the Dropkick Murphy's in their month long celebration of St. Patrick’s Day. Specifics about all the shows should be up on the website shortly if they aren't already. At some point this new year we also hope to reschedule the Australia, Europe and the U.K. canceled tour dates.
Again, our sincerest apologies to all our fans for the cancellations.

I still love you guys.
From a band that has been so supportive of fans, you can rest assured that people won't think those canceled dates carried any shortage of regret.
Thanks for being great guys, and good luck on whatever label you travel to next.
I forgive you Tom, on one condition! Please come back to Australia ASAP! Also, we'd love to see an acoustic show or two at record stores or something, I know it's hard to bring acoustic instruments over as well, but I'm sure people would lend you some!
oh wow. At least i get to see my AM! again.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this. As I was reading I was dreading getting to the awful "break up" point but it never came. Hooray!
You best believe I'll be front and centre when you're in Brisbane next.
Take care.
so are we to assume george is out of the band? is he the reason why the dates were cancelled? is jay playing the dropkicks tour too?
Wow from Madball to Against Me! ???? Kinda strange.
It sucked major dong you had to cancel the tour, but its great to hear youre allright. Looking forward to a new Europe tour!
well, you cancelled the spanish dates (dec. 2008) to go recording. so... cancelling is the second last thing to do, just next to "loose the opportunity to record somewhere famous".
Yeah, I'm living in the past, sorry. The green was always greener in the past.
we still love you, just remember to get crazy arm as a support for England/UK ;) okay? X
.....and europe
Traded George for the kid from Madball? I'm really struggling to support this decision. I love AM! but you guys need to get back to Fat and make some Punk music, not Alternative Rock music.
trying to get tix to the NYC show in march hell yeah
are you going back to Fat?!?!
maybe you can release that song "Hot Shots".... cuz from what I could tell from the youtube video... it sounds sick as hell
and by release, I mean... record?
or just another bamboo bones... cuz I love that song!
It really stood out on that CD...
Sorry to hear you've been having difficulties. As soon as you re-schedule - I'M THERE! You & Dropkick Murpheys, now that's a show!
Are you guys still playing the Buzz Bake Sale in West Palm Beach on Saturday?
Against Drummers!
lehigh acres is another personal favorite... I love how it went from what I heard at acoustically at Cafe Eleven to the full band sound on the cd....
Against Me! are still fucking awesome. Would rather everyone had their head in the game, when I finally see you guys for the first time.
Thrilled as hell y'all are back on tour. I only just found your stuff & feared it was over before I started.
Now I have to sort out which show to attend. Can't wait. Glad you're still in the game.
Glad to hear you're back! I really hope I can see y'all live next year!
Thank you so much for taking time to write this. Bad enough I missed out on a couple of the UK shows, but so long as you are all healthy and happy, I will see you in the (hopefully near) future. Take it easy
Gotta bring Fucked Up with you to the UK. Was looking forward to it ridiculously much.
Leaving Sire? Why? Creative conflict? Weak sales on White Crosses? Going back to Fat? Come on, you offer transparency through the blog, now give it.
Great set of dates with the Dropkicks. Hope you guys make it up to Canada again later in 2011.
Happy you guys are good :)
I'm going to have to agree with mister anonymous. Please go back to Fat. I miss the punk AM! I've been a die hard fan since I was 13 (I'm 20 now) and although the stuff you put out with Sire was alright, it didn't compare with your older stuff. Bring back the grit! I want more of that crust sound!
Much fuckin love,
Angy Wild.
HEY! I'm so glad your going to Chicago on feb.27th! this would be my first time seeign AM! live!
yo everyone shut the fuck up about missing their old stuff. that card has been played too many times, embrace the new hand you've been dealt.
def seeing you dudes in march in NYC, been waiting since you guys were at the crazy donkey last year!!!
ps: "against drummers!" made me laugh, nice joke
I'd really like to meet this new Jay Weinberg, I'm sure he is great.

You're not just a band. You are wonderful people. So nice to hear from you, Tom!
A PRESTO!
sell outz
fuck you tom
BRING BACK WARREN and you've got yourself a fan again....
Seriously Max Weinberg's kid?
>>MoveMeToCanada
Warren left the band, the band didn't leave Warren.
Wow, you're awesome Tom. Much respect for writing this. Even though the cancellation doesn't affect me, it's still good to see that you are apologizing. I really respect you and what you have done for Against Me! I hope to see you in Canada again (Prince George!!). I'll have to admit I was kinda disappointed that you didn't come out to see the fans, I was looking forward to it! Oh well, maybe next time. Anyways, good luck on the next label you guys will choose! Much love - B.
I don't care what you guys do as long as you continue to make good music. Not a fan of the last two albums, but the previous stuff has left a lasting impression on me, so i'll continue to support as long as everything has been as awesome as it has throughout the years. Looking forward to the show at slims. Thanks for your music.
I'm glad you're going to come back to the UK. I'm glad I will eventually get to see you. Unfortunately for others, its too late. But when I do see you, he will be with me in spirit.
Are you guys going to stop by Seoul or Tokyo when you head back to Australia? The Far East needs you!
Hey Tom, Jess told me you were coming to OZ - Wahoo! I live in Sydney now so I will def try and hit up the May show. Hope you're well! Mary (Macdonald from Naples)
