Rise Against is the next featured artist that the folks at Google want their Music Beta service listeners to fall in love with!
Magnifier, Google's new music discovery site, is offering Rise Against's current single "Make It Stop (September's Children)" for free for one week starting August 25, 2011! Simply go to Magnifier to download the track.
Rise Against lead singer Tim McIlrath wrote "Make It Stop (September's Children)" in response to bullying, a topic he says really hasn't been adequately addressed in the rock scene.
Rise Against teamed up with the It Gets Better Project to create a video for the song that will open people's eyes to the bullying of LGBT youth. Everyone going back to school in September should watch this video!
