Rise Against More Popular Than Rancid

By Ian Gormely (CHARTattack) August 4, 2009 3:46 pm

Word that Rancid were opening for warmed-over hardcore band Rise Against on their summer tour ruffled more than a few feathers in the punk community. How dare they relegate a band that just last year played two headlining gigs at the Kool Haus to a support slot? But this is 2009 and the reality is that Rise Against are on constant rotation on...

Rise Against — Appeal To Reason

By Logan Broger (CHARTattack) October 7, 2008 1:32 pm

There's one thing Rise Against have always been good at: creating radio-friendly hits that still maintain the angst that makes them a punk band. Appeal To Reason is no different. They go through 13 extremely catchy tunes in 48 minutes. All the songs fall between 3:05 and 4:13 (three tracks are all at 4:02 oddly enough), which may lead you to think...

Rise Against — The Sufferer & The Witness

By Shehzaad Jiwani (CHARTattack) July 4, 2006 8:22 pm

A lot of people cried "sellouts" after hearing Rise Against's last album, the catchier-than-usual Siren Song Of The Counter Culture. Punks are a hard group to please, but even they'll have a hard time nitpicking about The Sufferer & The Witness. It returns the band's Revolutions Per Minute-era aggression, yet hones it with Siren Song...

Lords Of Dogtown OST

By Caitlin Hotchkiss (CHARTattack) May 24, 2005 1:32 pm

Movie soundtracks often suck, so congrats to the Lords Of Dogtown CD for breaking the mold. All the classic rock genres are covered — metal (Black Sabbath's "Iron Man"), '70s stoner (Jimi Hendrix's "Fire") and even glam (The Sweet's "Fox On The Run," T.Rex's "20th Century Boy"). Also, any compilation that...

Rise Against

By CHARTattack Staff (CHARTattack) May 30, 2011 2:18 pm

Canadians who were a bit bummed out that Rise Against's only dates north of the 49th parallel this summer were in Ottawa and Toronto for festivals will probably be excited to know the Chicago punks have announced more Canadian gigs. Rise Against will spend a good portion of the fall supporting the Foo Fighters on a North American tour. But singer/...

Rise Against — Endgame

By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) April 8, 2011 4:00 pm

Rise Against are kind of like the U2 of punk.While it's true writing anthemic choruses has been part of punk rock for a while, Rise Against do it in a way that's eerily similar to the Irish rockers. The choruses aren't just for singing along — they soar. And when Tim McIlrath yells out many of his "whoaaaa-oooooaaa-ooaaaas" on Endgame, it's kind...
