Rise Against

Chicago punk rock band Rise Against deliver melodic hardcore intensity, political urgency and anthemic songwriting that has defined their career for more than 25 years. Few bands have been as accurately named, with their music standing as a constant voice of resistance amid shifting trends. Across a catalogue of urgent, emotionally charged records, they balance aggressive punk energy with reflective storytelling about social unrest, personal struggle and systemic collapse.

Their latest release Ricochet captures their most visceral and high-stakes songwriting to date. Rise Against continue to evolve while holding firm to their original spirit of rebellion. Their live shows channel urgency and unity, connecting with global audiences through messages of awareness and defiance.
