As Against Me! continues to reshape and grow into a powerful, legendary pop-punk band, one always remembers their roots as anti-establishment cow-punks. Their 2005 album, Searching For A Former Clarity, saw hints of their forthcoming shift, and Tom Gabel and Co. want you to hear the full extent of that recording session. Punknews.com reports that the new release, entitled Total Clarity, will include 15 unreleased demos (“and some demos that got leaked, wink, wink“) featuring songs both on and off of Former Clarity. The band released a similar album of demos titled The Original Cowboy for their 2003 release The Eternal Cowboy. Looks like we’ve got a couple more plays on album names up ahead. Old Wave, anyone?
