Laura Jane Grace, the frontwoman of Against Me!, is highlighted as a pivotal figure in contemporary punk music, known for her impactful songwriting and energetic performances. At 44, she continues to confront themes of inequality and injustice in her work. A recent interview reflects on her latest song 'God's Dick,' written during her time in Greece, where she had to justify her artistic choices in a politically charged environment. Grace also remarks on the evolving landscape of safety for trans individuals in music, linking her experiences to current anti-trans sentiments in America.
It's tough to imagine a better rock star for this moment in America than Laura Jane Grace. The founder of the seminal Florida punk band Against Me! has long been known for songwriting that blends the personal and political, as well as visceral, cathartic live shows.
I wanted to ask how you think about your safety on tour right now, given the onslaught of anti-trans bills and vitriol from this Trump administration.
