Rise Against Talks "Savior," "Swing Life Away" & New Album 'Ricochet'

Описание: Tim McIlrath — the frontman of punk band Rise Against — joins us in the studio for the first time to give us the scoop on the band’s upcoming tenth album Ricochet (out August 15th on Loma Vista).
Formed in the politically charged punk scene of early-2000s Chicago, Rise Against carved a path from gritty basement shows to festival main stages. Their breakthrough came with 2004’s Siren Song of the Counter Culture, powered by the visceral energy of singles like ‘Give It All’ and the anthemic ‘Swing Life Away,’ which earned them mainstream attention without diluting their message. But it was 2008 hits like ‘Savior’ and ‘Re-Education (Through Labor)’ off their fifth LP Appeal to Reason, that really cemented their rep as a band capable of blending melodic hardcore, fiery activism, and heart.
We discuss all this plus the making of Ricochet, their decision to switch it up with Grammy-winning producer Catherine Marks (Manchester Orchestra, boygenius) — a record that was written and recorded before Trump’s second term in office and yet seems to perfectly encapsulate the edge and unease we’re feeling in these divisive, tense times.
McIlrath also opens up about going back to college, being a dad of two grown kids, the Warped Tour, Metallica and Hawkwind jigsaw puzzles, the parallels between now and post-9/11 America, mental health, how they’re keeping things fresh 25 years in, the story behind ‘Swing Life Away,’ and so much more.
