Rise against the sufferer and the witness release date

#Rise against the sufferer and the witness release date how to#

I think in many ways, we've been on a mission to rile people up, and I feel very lucky to be able to do that.

But we've come to realize people want honesty and that music can be a catalyst for change. 'We did not anticipate it to snowball or that there was this audience for what we were doing. '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 jokes.

That's what music is now more than ever, this great communicator.' We are speaking the same language and have to be there for them.

There's somebody out there really counting on us to put how to feel into perspective. 'But when I think about it through that filter, I feel there's a responsibility of what we are doing. 'It's almost hard to acknowledge that there's someone out there that feels that what Fugazi was to me, Rise Against is to them,' says McIlrath. The band was admittedly intimated to work with Stevenson at first, having grown up during the '80s Reaganomics era worshipping albums like Black Flag's My War alongside classics from Minor Threat, Fugazi, 7 Seconds, Bad Brains, and The Clash. He always gets what we want to do and will go with us when we think outside the box, and he's the perfect producer for the style of music we play because he has an insane pop sensibility and the hardcore side to him as well.' Often described as Rise Against's fifth member, Stevenson 'is our not-so-secret weapon at this point,' says Principe. Nowhere Generation was recorded at The Blasting Room in Fort Collins, Colorado under the tutelage of Jason Livermore, Andrew Berlin, Chris Beeble, and long-time producer/engineer Bill Stevenson (Black Flag, The Descendents), who has worked with the band on nearly all of their acclaimed releases since their sophomore effort, 2003's Revolutions Per Minute. Nowhere Generation is Rise Against's first release under a new agreement with Loma Vista Recordings and comes three years after their 2017 blockbuster Wolves that became their fifth straight top ten record on the Billboard 200 albums chart. The album's stunning visuals also reinforce this sentiment, with a cohesive cross-campaign design created by Rolling Stone's 2009 Album Designer of the Year Brian Roettinger, a Grammy nominee for his unique designs for Jay-Z and Florence and the Machine and Grammy winner for his work on St. And I think that's a lot of what our fans feel too - the people in that front row all over the world want to be heard and listened to. 'It describes a lot of what Rise Against does,' says McIlrath, 'to speak and scream when we feel there are things that are happening that aren't being addressed. In addition to the communal call to arms embedded in the aggressive title track, there's the fast and furious anti-establishment manifesto 'Broken Dreams, Inc.,' the moody ballad 'Forfeit,' and the surprise pop candor in 'Talking To Ourselves,' a standout song about wanting to be heard and wondering if anyone is listening. The band - McIlrath, Joe Principe (bass), Brandon Barnes (drums), and Zach Blair (lead guitar) - sounds those alarms on Nowhere Generation's unabashedly outspoken songs that speak to a sea of disenchanted youth about both the struggles and the solutions, while sonically continuing to blur the lines between astute punk rock and melodic-driven pop. 'Our hope on this record,' continues McIlrath, 'is to jostle people awake, even if it makes you uncomfortable.' I feel for this generation and think it's something that should be recognized.' Lyrically, much of the band's upcoming ninth studio album was inspired by listening to his young daughters and a community of fans, seeing firsthand the generation gap growing quicker than ever before while mired in chronic social, economic, and political instability. Young people aren't quite climbing that ladder the way they were in the past. 'And it seems like the American Dream isn't turning out the way it's supposed to for a lot of people.

'There's this idea that we all are raised on, believing that your generation will be a continuance of your parents' generation - if not even a more fruitful era,' said singer/guitarist/lyricist Tim McIlrath. On their new album, Nowhere Generation, due out June 4 (Loma Vista Recordings), the multi-Gold and Platinum band RISE AGAINST draws a line in the sand with its blazing and aggressive punk rock and lyrics that shine a spotlight on the social and economical deck that has been stacked against our younger generations' pursuit of The American Dream.
