'''"We're Never Going Home"''' is the first [[DVD]] release of the [[Gainesville, Florida]] [[folk punk]] band [[Against Me!]], produced by Jake Burghart and presented by [[Fat Wreck Chords]]. The feature presentation of the DVD follows the band on their United States tour that spanned from April 1 to May 2 of 2004<ref name=":2" /> and also featured the [[hardcore punk]] band [[Planes Mistaken for Stars]] and the [[punk rock|punk]] band No Choice. <ref name=":0" />
Jake Burghart focuses on the relentless pressure on the band coming from major record companies looking to produce the band's upcoming album as the band struggles to decide what steps to take. With the release of the widely successful [[As the Eternal Cowboy]] (2003) on [[Fat Wreck Chords]] the prior year, various record companies (named in the film, among them [[Warner Bros. Records]]) took notice of the commercial potential of the band and, as illustrated in the DVD, took to wining and dining with "Against Me!". Oppositely, the film features brief interviews from those who oppose the band's signing to larger labels on [[DIY]] and [[anarchist]] principles, including a pair of interviews from [[DIY]] [[folk punk]] band Ghost Mice.  The interviews from both sides offer insight into what pressures face the band and shed light on the moral dilemma that confuses and frustrates the band.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.punknews.org/review/3432/against-me-were-never-going-home-dvd|title=Against Me! - We're Never Going Home DVD|last=Punknews.org|website=www.punknews.org|access-date=2016-05-03}}</ref>
During an interview with [[Fat Mike]] from Fat Wreck Chords in this documentary, he explains that his label offered the band a certain amount of money with their deal, which they accepted. Despite the pitches from major labels and the ensuing deliberation, the band was already obligated with that deal to release their next album with Fat Wreck. This album was Searching For A Former Clarity. They then signed to [[Sire Records]] three months after the release of ''[[Searching For A Former Clarity]]''.
The film illustrates the classic life of a rock band on tour, with the band and friends pulling ridiculous pranks and spending the month drunk. However, as [[Laura Jane Grace]] indicates in a statement on the back of the DVD case, "this isn't meant to be a representation of who we are as people. Just who we were right then."<ref name=":2">{{Cite web|url=http://203.144.224.125/dvdcover/imageweb27/AgainstMeWereNeverGoing364_b.jpg|title=We'renevergoinghomebackcover|last=|first=|date=|website=|publisher=|access-date=2016-05-11}}</ref>
Musically, the DVD contains live performances from the tour, with songs spanning their musical career. The extra features include many performances that were not a part of the feature presentation, including some much older footage from before the band was as it is today.
The black and white photo on the cover of the DVD captures lead singer, Laura Jane Grace, and bassist, [[Andrew Seward]], in the middle of a "high-five" while playing live at the [[9:30 Club]], in Washington D.C., on January 20, 2004. The photograph was captured by photographer and band tour manager, Bryan K. Wynacht.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1">{{Citation|title=Against Me: We're Never Going Home (Video 2004)|url=https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0435598/fullcredits/cast?ref_=m_ttfc_2|accessdate=2016-05-03}}</ref>
