Rise Against

Multi-gold and platinum band Rise Against blurs the lines between astute punk rock and melodic-driven pop, with their blazing and aggressive punk rock and lyrics.

“It describes a lot of what Rise Against does,” says singer/guitarist/lyricist Tim McIlrath, “to speak and scream when we feel there are things that are happening that aren’t being addressed.”

After putting out their 2001 debut, The Unraveling, which was hailed as “hardcore salvation,” Rise Against found further success with 2006’s The Sufferer & The Witness, which drew in an international crowd for the first time, and 2008’s Appeal To Reason, which featured the gold-certified hit single “Savior” that to date has garnered half-a-billion streams and become one of the band’s six top 10 singles on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart.

Subsequent albums have touched on issues of LGBTQ rights, animal rights, voting rights, environmental causes and modern warfare, leading UK rock bible NME to herald Rise Against as “maybe the most important punk band on the planet.”

The band’s 2017 blockbuster Wolves became their fifth-straight top 10 record on the Billboard 200 albums chart, and their ninth studio album Nowhere Generation features the singles “Broken Dreams, Inc.” and “Talking to Ourselves.”

“When we first started Rise Against, we just wanted to be a dirty punk band, write some songs, play a bowling alley, and see how many mosh pits we could get going,” McIlrath says. “We did not anticipate it to snowball or that there was this audience for what we were doing. But we’ve come to realize people want honesty and that music can be a catalyst for change.”

Rise Against features the talents of Tim McIlrath (singer/guitarist/lyricist), Joe Principe (bass), Brandon Barnes (drums) and Zach Blair (lead guitar).
