About

Rise Against paint a picture of a generation that is younger than they are and that is looking for a way forward in an increasingly inhospitable world. The impetus to address these issues came from McIlrath. He met fans all over the world - from the United States to Australia, Japan and Germany - and each of them expressed similar fears. "They expressed the same fears and anxieties about their lives and what the future will look like. These fears and anxieties were all connected, no matter what language they spoke. After a while, I just couldn't ignore it anymore," he says.
