Rise Against

Chicago punk-rock champions Rise Against are back to their potent political best with their fifth album ‘Appeal To Reason’, released on October 6th through Geffen Records.

A band renowned for their single-minded political outlook, ‘Appeal To Reason’ is an embodiment of the band’s feelings about the world around them. Nowhere is this more greatly channelled than on forthcoming single, “Re-education (Through Labour)” – a powerful statement against the use of sweat-shops in the modern world supported by a controversial, hard edged video.

The influences of Rise Against are plain to see; the snarling, scathing commentaries on the world are a return to the days of the anti-movement leaders Black Flag, with the unhinged, heavy rhythms plainly evident on ‘Appeal To Reason’ reminiscent of Nirvana.

Never has the Rise Against message been more powerful – ‘Appeal To Reason’ is their rock manifesto – a statement of intent and a powerful message to the world.

Rise Against are also set to be unleashed on the UK for an 11-date tour in early 2009, the dates of which are below.
