Rise Against
Nowhere Generation Tour
with Descendents, Spanish Love Songs
Tickets: $42.50 in advance (plus applicable surcharges)
On their new album, Nowhere Generation, due out June 4 (Loma Vista Recordings), the multi-Gold and Platinum band RISE AGAINST draws a line in the sand with its blazing and aggressive punk rock and lyrics that shine a spotlight on the social and economical deck that has been stacked against our younger generationsโ pursuit of The American Dream.
โThereโs this idea that we all are raised on, believing that your generation will be a continuance of your parentsโ generation โ if not even a more fruitful era,โ said singer/guitarist/lyricist Tim McIlrath. โAnd it seems like the American Dream isnโt turning out the way itโs supposed to for a lot of people. Young people arenโt quite climbing that ladder the way they were in the past. I feel for this generation and think itโs something that should be recognized.โ Lyrically, much of the bandโs upcoming ninth studio album was inspired by listening to his young daughters and a community of fans, seeing firsthand the generation gap growing quicker than ever before while mired in chronic social, economic, and political instability. โOur hope on this record,โ continues McIlrath, โis to jostle people awake, even if it makes you uncomfortable.โ
The band โ McIlrath, Joe Principe (bass), Brandon Barnes (drums), and Zach Blair (lead guitar) โ sounds those alarms on Nowhere Generationโs unabashedly outspoken songs that speak to a sea of disenchanted youth about both the struggles and the solutions, while sonically continuing to blur the lines between astute punk rock and melodic-driven pop. In addition to the communal call to arms embedded in the aggressive title track, thereโs the fast and furious anti-establishment manifesto โBroken Dreams, Inc.,โ the moody ballad โForfeit,โ and the surprise pop candor in โTalking To Ourselves,โ a standout song about wanting to be heard and wondering if anyone is listening. โIt describes a lot of what Rise Against does,โ says McIlrath, โto speak and scream when we feel there are things that are happening that arenโt being addressed. And I think thatโs a lot of what our fans feel too โ the people in that front row all over the world want to be heard and listened to. I wanted to tap into that sentiment.โ
