Rise Against, a Really Nice Band!

R

This week, I chose an American punk rock/hardcore punk band. This is Rise Against, formed in 1999 in Chicago. Presently, its members are Tim McIlrath (lead singer), Zach Blair, Joe Principe and Brandon Barnes.

They began to have an international success in 2004, but especially in 2006 with successful singles like Blood to Bleed, Give It All, Ready to Fall, Prayer of the Refugee and The Good Left Undone.

The goal of the band is not to be popular; it’s to take advantage of this popularity to transmit messages. They denounce, for examples, the pollution of the planet (Ready to Fall,2006),the war (Hero of War,2009) and the suicide in young people (Make it Stop (September’s Children),2011).

I really like their new album "Endgame" and, particularly, the song "Satellite". I think that their music evolves very well and I like the way they use their popularity. Rise Against is one of my favourite bands!

And you, what are your feeling about this band?
Which song do you prefer?
What is your type of music?

    Allyson and Cindy, it's good to know that you find my blog interesting. I agree with you, Cindy, on the message of the song "Help is on the way". And Allyson, you said that you didn't listen this music before, so I hope that I make you discover something new!

    Hey Hugues! I just go to listen "State of the Union" and I found it very different of the other songs. I never heard it before, so I was very surprised, because it's much more hardcore! :P
    And merry Christma you too, Marysa! :)
