Ethel Wells 1916-2007

The world has lost a remarkable woman. Ethel Wells was strong, determined, far-sighted, and persistent. She took on tough causes with unwavering commitment, including anti-smoking, peace, nuclear disarmament, strengthening international law, ending genocide, and social responsibility for scientists. She believed it is possible to change the world with dynamic strategies and unflinching honesty. Ethel was always a strategic thinker. She looked for points of leverage.

Against Me!

After touring in support of 2005’s Searching for a Former Clarity, Against Me! frontman Tom Gabel wanted to escape the cynicism that surrounded the album and his time on the road. Enter New Wave, the band’s major-label debut, which in the first song declares: “We can be the bands we want to hear/We can define our own generation.” This energized, optimistic approach continues throughout the album.
