One of the best punk bands ever. Awesome, heartfelt lyrics ranging from love to politics to life in general, loud punding voice and amazing drums.

the years unfold in one moment the voices that we heard so loud are now suddenly silenced inside this crowd and you're surrounded by the lives of those who found something to hold so bringing everybody down is all you know

Awesome rock band from chicago, really cool, awesome/clever lyrics\!

If I could paint how I feel I'd draw a bullseye on your forehead My anger's not misdirected unless it somehow misses you __ Is there a god tonight up in the sky or is it empty, just like me? ___

An AMAZING band\!\!\! they rock\!\!\!\!

"I can't bear the thought of losing, I dread the attention winning brings and ever since the day I came here I can stand without your strings I'm so sick of all these people but I'm scared to be alone and if this life has taught me anything I forgot it long ago" - voices off camera "one last thing i beg you please just before you go. I've watched you fly on paper wings half way round the world, until they burned up in the atmosphere and sent you spiraling down. Landed somewhere far from here with no one else around, to catch you falling down and I'm looking at you now. And i cant tell if your laughing, between each smile theres a tear in your eye." - paper wings "Am i loud and clear or am I breaking up? Am I still your charm or am I just bad luck? Are we getting closer or are we just getting more lost?" - swing life away

A native Chicago punk rock / hardcore / melodycore band, currently consisting of Tim McIlrath, Joe Principe, Brandon Barnes, and Chris Chasse. Rise Against, under the label of Fat Wreck Cords, released their first two albums, The Unraveling (2001) and Revolutions Per Minute (2003). These two albums were recieved well, though considerably more hardcore and punk than many of Fat Wreck Cords other more pop punk signs. Rise Against then switched labels to Dreamworks / Universal Music Group / Geffen Records to release Siren Song of the Counter Culture (2004). This new album delivered a far less hardcore sound, but was undeniably intense and far more accessible to the mainstream public. SSotCC was criticized by many saying that Rise Against had "Lost their punk rock roots..." etc etc. And while they had indeed drifted, though not entirely, from their original "slam it and scream 'em" roots, Rise Against had shown in SSotCC with songs like Tip the Scales and Dancing for Rain --and would show in their upcoming album, The Sufferer and the Witness-- that they were still very much in the punk rock scene, even if they had taken a different style. This style is what many have come to call melodycore. After the large and mainstream success of SSotCC from such songs as Life Less Frightening, Give It All, and Swing Life Away, Rise Against released a re-edited version of The Unraveling via Fat Wreck Cords in 2005. They then began working on their new, deeper, and darker album, The Sufferer and The Witness (2006). TSatW had success with such songs as Ready To Fall and Prayer of the Refugee, ranking high on the US modern rock boards. This new album from rise against had still the political unrest of previous records, but it also had a deeper focus on personal and emotional upheaval. With TSatW Rise Against screamed of how humanity was killing ourselves, and simply knowing the problem wasn't enough in songs like Ready To Fall. They sang of heartbreak and disillusionment in songs such as Approaching Curve or Roadside. And true to their nature, they scream their political discord in songs like Bricks or Built to Last (a bonus track). Rise Against is known for their delivery of hardcore rock and punk influences to the mainstream audience with melody (hence the term melodycore). Though critics may blindly sling empty insults about their sound and themes, their success, music, and musical content is the only counter-point needed to disregaurd such accusations. In conclusion, Rise Against is, in reality, a true punk rock/melodycore band that has only begun to withstand the trial of time. But with their high success, captivating sound, clever and true lyrics, and adherance to their original morals and themes, they show much promise of not only passing the trial of time, but excelling.

Rise Against samples Built To Last (The Sufferer and the Witness) Your will Your way Will earn respect in your day Let the glory sharpened knife Carve the future of your life Give It All (Siren Song of the Counter Culture) For far too long these voices Muffled by distances It's time to come to our senses Up from the dirt We give it all To the Core (Revolutions Per Minute) So step away from the f***ing screen And see a world outside your screen Maybe then you will know And realize the lack of threat you pose Alive And Well (The Unraveling) Now's the time To rearrange your life Live for something Outside of your own mind We all dream The same dream everynight To burn the world that you call civilized

Pretty much the greatest band of all time. And know to all of you "real punk" idiots, they are NOT emo. Listen to Survive, that'll show you

Rise Against just won the award for Greatest Band of All Time

A great punk band. Great Lyrics, though i don't know why they are on 'urban' dictionary. I love hip hop (not eminem and crap like that though) but theses chicago natives are incredible.

Like the Angel, Give it All, Dancing for Rain and To Them These Streets belong are four of the best songs by Rise Against.

Never mind the fact that they're an awesome punk band. Never mind the fact that the lyrics are well-written, intelligent, and plain wonderful. Never mind the fact that Tim McIlrath can actually sing AND scream (and do both really well). All the other definitions are just as accurate, but what many of them don't mention is that they actually give a damn about the world. All the band members are vegetarian. They worked with Vans to create vegan skate shoes. The video for Prayer of the Refugee ends with a plea for fair trade. Whether you agree with their views or not, you still have to respect them for doing what they do when it'd be so much easier to just write another song about heartbreak. Though they do that really well too. These guys care about what happens in the world, and they still manage to rock. If you haven't already, go listen to one of the songs in the other definitions and be amazed.

When Rise Against's video for Prayer of the Refugee finished playing on MuchMusic, I was shocked by the fact that I had finally seen a meaningful, thought-provoking music video on television. Later, I was shocked again when I discovered that these were the same guys who sang Swing Life Away.

Rise Against the good left undone All because of you, I haven’t slept in so long. When I do I dream of drowning in the ocean, Longing for the shore where I can let my head down, Inside these arms of yours. All because of you, I believe in angels. Not the kind with wings, No, not the kind with halos, The kind that bring you home, When home becomes a strange place. I’ll follow your voice, All you have to do is shout it out.

The single best alternative/punk band in a long time. Their lyrics are heartfelt and actually have meaning.

"On clearer days I can see the lights from my bedroom door, on windy nights I can smell the lake as it drifts to me from the shore. The traffic lights silently change a thousand times a day, but I'm still waiting, yeah, and I'm still waiting. And if my hand could block the sun, would we ever wake up? And if I turned back all these clocks, would that be time enough?" - Rise Against

1. The best band ever (': 2. A band that are getting way too pupular thanks to guitar hero. Shame on people that claim to be a huge fan when they only know Prayer of the Refugee, and maybe just a couple of other songs.

Dickhead: I like prayer of the refugee, I love Rise Against so much. Me: please, just eat shit.

most amazing band to ever rock this generation. with lyrics speaking to the youth of america. telling how the gorvenment is so that we can understand. they are the revolution we need\!

"I kicked in the door, I yelled my commands. The children they cried, but I got my man. We took him away, a bog over his face. From his family, his friends. They took off his clothes, they pissed in his hands. I told them to stop, but then I joined in. We beat him with guns and batons not just once, but again and again." -Hero of War by Rise Against

The creators of the greatest music to grace modern day earth. The one band nobody can hate. Real fucking punk rock.

"I see myself inside you, you dream the dreams that I do, You're still searching for these answers, they're not inside your wrist" Just an example of Rise Against's amazing lyrics.
