Against Me! have parted ways with their record company, Warner Bros. The Florida punks, who cancelled their October UK tour, have also parted company with drummer George Rebelos."After almost a five year relationship we are leaving Sire/Warner," revealed frontman Tom Gabel in a blog post. "We have nothing but gratitude towards all the people we worked with at the label and feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to make the records we made while with the label.""An apology is long over due, to everyone who bought tickets to come out and see us at any of the tour dates we had to cancel this past October and November, we're sorry," he added. "Cancelling tour dates is the last thing that we ever want to do, especially when the dates have us going to some of our favourite places in the world, but this past October a culmination of circumstances were engulfing us and we had to take some time off from touring to go home and sort things out."Gabel revealed that Against Me! have lined up former Madball and Bruce Springsteen drummer Jay Weinberg to fill in behind the kit."We'll be getting back out on the road starting with a handful of radio station festival shows early this December," the singer continues. "Our friend Jay Weinberg will be sitting behind the drum kit for us, which we're very excited about. In January we're going to be heading out with Fences and Cheap Girls for a couple weeks before joining the Dropkick Murphy's in their month long celebration of St. Patrick's Day. Specifics about all the shows should be up on the website shortly if they aren't already. At some point this new year we also hope to reschedule the Australia, Europe and the UK cancelled tour dates."
