EXCLUSIVE EVENT: Against Me! Perform for SPIN

Matt & Kim

Matt Johnson and Kim Schifino started churning out their peppy, poppy, synthesizer laden punk upon meeting while enrolled at Pratt Institute and haven't looked back. Since its inception, the duo is almost always on the road, bringing their seemingly always smiling faces from venue to venue and becoming a staple on the summer festival circuit. The high energy live show translates over to the band's recorded material as well. With the release of their third album, "Sidewalks", the band has continued winning over fans and critics alike, even cracking the Billboard's top 100 at no. 30.

Right now, there are over two million young people who face bouts of homelessness each year in the U.S. Most have been forced from their homes because of circumstances beyond their control. Some manage to make it through school but others are less fortunate, resorting to begging or prostitution just to survive. ZYNC from American Express joined forces with Virgin Mobile's RE*Generation to empower a generation to help its own. We are supporting organizations that care about homeless youth and connecting them with young people who want to help.
With your support, ZYNC from American Express was able to donate $50,000 toward fighting youth homelessness. One person really can make a difference.
