Rise Against is an American punk rock band from Chicago Illinois. Formed in 1999 The group’s current line-up comprises vocalist/rhythm guitarist Tim McIlrath, lead guitarist Zach Blair, bassist Joe Principe and drummer Brandon Barnes. Known for their catchy hooks and aggressive sound, their roots were formed in the melodic post-hardcore scene, and while they have diversified slightly, over the years, their fanbase remains as fervent as ever. Lyrically, the band is known for their outspoken social commentary, covering a wide range of topics such as political injustice, animal rights, humanitarianism, and environmentalism.
The band spent its first four years signed to the independent record label Fat Wreck Chords, on which they released two studio albums, The Unraveling (2001) and Revolutions per Minute (2003). Both the albums were met with underground success, and in 2003 the band signed with the major label Dreamworks, which was absorbed by Geffen. Rise Against’s major label debut Siren Song of the Counter Culture (2004) brought the band mainstream success, largely in part to the popularity of the singles “Give It All” and “Swing Life Away”. The band’s next album, The Sufferer & the Witness (2006), peaked at number ten on the Billboard 200 in the United States, and was Rise Against’s first album to chart in countries outside of North America.
