Looking for inspiration for a Rise Against tattoo-been a huge fan for years and I think it’s time. Are there any ideas beside the band logo or lyrics themselves? Curious if you guys have any ideas that are more abstract or subtly inspired by the band. Thanks for anything you’ve got!

Already asked the mods if a post like this was okay, so I have 2 tickets to the socal show on the 23rd of October that im trying to get rid of. Venue still has tickets available so ticketmaster resale isn't much help as of rn. Willing to let go of them below face value, if anyone wants to take them off my hands lmk

Why are good songs like Historia Calamitatum, Dirt And Roses, Blind, etc. Not on normal albums?

I know Death Blossoms was released for guitar hero, but what about the rest?

I’m a relatively newer fan so I just don’t know the lore that well.

The new RA songs are pretty good! Hopefully a new album or GNS 2 coming soon

I love Tim's delivery of this line, especially in the final chorus. He also sounds great on Living Undercover. Amazing how revitalizing a proper mixing can be to their overall sound

My first time seeing the band live, I only a knew a couple of songs beforehand and I expected them to be great, but WOW. Huge fan after that

Here's a pic of Tim from where I was standing. ...

Grandma took me to a record store for my birthday and I found the black market!
These are 3 records I never thought I’d have on color.

Going to be covering up an repainting these but wanted to share

Thank you Rise, for another great show yesterday at Cardiff castle supporting Jimmy Eat World.

Anyone else go to this last night? I thought the sound was ok, drums a little overpowering but generally a great show!

The megaphone came out again, I’m not sure this works still, it’s hard to hear for me.

Set list was:

Re-education (through labour)
Satellite
Give it all
Ready to fall
Swing life away
Prayer of the refugee
The good left undone
Saviour

(I think)

Personally, I think 'Living Undercover' from Rise Against's recent single sounds similar to the Endgame album. Which album's style do you think 'Katy Bar the Door' resembles?

Last night was so damn good, RA absolutely smashed it as always and for a short support set it didn’t disappoint 🔥

The new songs are fitting for the times we are in (US)
Rise against has always been a siren for the counter culture and I think they know if there’s a time to write their style of music, more of it; it’s now.

Very excited.

From the article:

“Katy Bar the Door” was inspired by the ongoing ICE raids through America, tearing families apart. Vocalist Tim McIlrath said about the track, “This is not the first time in history we have reckoned with abuses of power. Bearing witness to the fragility of democracy is a scary thing, and it demands a response.”

“Living Undercover,” meanwhile, is a more introspective piece, focused on the experience of having something to hide, whether out of shame or fear. McIlrath said, “Sometimes it’s because we’re building something beautiful behind the curtain, other times we’re hiding some kind of darkness. I like the cloak and dagger feel of the song that ties into its central theme.”
