From Underground Act to Festival Headliner

In the wake of bands like NOFX, Bad Religion, and Propagandhi, Rise Against dedicated themselves to classic hardcore punk at the beginning of their career. The rough high-tempo sound gradually took on more melodic forms over the years. With the albums THE SIREN SONG OF THE COUNTER CULTURE and especially THE SUFFERER & THE WITNESS, Rise Against achieved international breakthrough. Many fans see this phase as the peak of the group's creativity. With the 2008 release APPEAL TO REASON, the quartet secured headliner slots at major festival stages in Europe and America. In the following years, more albums like ENDGAME (2011), THE BLACK MARKET (2014), and WOLVES (2017) were released, which resonated significantly in the scene. Even though the men around Tim McIlrath have become noticeably mellower in terms of hardness, the core elements have remained: Strong political statements meet catchy, hook-laden punk rock, spiced with the occasional hardcore outburst.
