Against Me!'s Laura Jane Grace on why relying on legacy is a bad idea

Bad news for anyone currently putting out shitters.

Against Me!’s new album ‘Shape Shift With Me’ is bloody brilliant - and it’s a good thing too, because the band’s Laura Jane Grace has strong opinions about relying on legacy.

And as for feeling the burden of expectations: “I can only be myself. I can’t live to be good for other people’s expectations or facilitate other people’s expectations or what they think I should be like, because they’d just truly be disappointed.”

Find out more about Against Me!’s new album - due next week - in the September issue of Dork, out tomorrow (Friday 9th September) - order your copy here. It also features The Big Moon, Warpaint, AlunaGeorge, Rat Boy, Deap Vally, The Wytches and loads more.
