Against Me! Share NSFW “Drinking With The Jocks” Video, Announce Tour Dates

Against Me! have released a new, NSFW video for Transgender Dysphoria cut “Drinking With The Jocks.” One of the most furious, anxiety-ridden tracks on an album full of the stuff, the Steak Mtn.-directed video follows suit.

Chaotic and frenzied, disjointed and manic, the video is all shaky black and white images of body parts and snippets of lyrics. It’s a visual assault to match the aural one, Worth at least one watch, if not more, the clip is a purposefully difficult watch that conveys to viewers – or thrusts upon them – the physical and mental dysphoria and angst that went into the song. It’s similar to the videos for “Black Me Out” and “FUCKMYLIFE666” – which were directed by Joshua Mikel – in its lack of color and surplus of discomforting imagery, but with the discomfort amped up several notches.

Accompanying the video is the announcement of more tour dates. Having just finished up the second leg of their North American tour, and currently touring Europe, the band has announced a slew of new shows all over the United States and a bit of Canada. Jenny Owens Youngs and Creepoid will be supporting on the July dates; Against Me! will take a turn as the support when they go on tour with The Gaslight Anthem – who just announced a new album – in the fall. Laura Jane Grace will also be appearing at this year’s inaugural Alternative Press Music Awards in Cleveland, Ohio, on July 21.
