Rise Against - Appeal To ReasonRise Against - Appeal To Reason - Tour Dates 2009
Chicago punk-rock champions Rise Against are back to their potent political best with their fifth album Appeal To Reason, released through Geffen Records.
A band renowned for their single-minded political outlook, Appeal To Reason is an embodiment of the band's feelings about the world around them. Nowhere is this more greatly channeled than on forthcoming single, Re-education (Through Labour) - a powerful statement against the use of sweat-shops in the modern world supported by a controversial, hard edged video.
The influences of Rise Against are plain to see; the snarling, scathing commentaries on the world are a return to the days of the anti-movement leaders Black Flag, with the unhinged, heavy rhythms plainly evident on Appeal To Reason reminiscent of Nirvana.
Never has the Rise Against message been more powerful - Appeal To Reason is their rock manifesto - a statement of intent and a powerful message to the world.
