“For national security/Consent or coercion/The alpha, the omega/I know it’s an illusion, but I can’t see through it.” From the very beginning of Against Me!’s latest record, Shape Shift with Me, Laura Jane Grace launches into a fiery takedown of ProVision L-3s—the body scanners found in many airports that are known to cause a lot of strife for transgender people. After coming out in 2012 and transitioning in the public eye, coverage surrounding the band has often focused on Grace’s personal narrative. Led by her signature snarl, Against Me! races through quick jolts of fast, sharp, and aggressive music. Shape Shift with Me is a reminder that the personal is so often the political and that there’s nothing quite as punk as fighting for what matters to you. JENNA FLETCHER
