This Friday, June 4th, we will be blessed with Nowhere Generation, the 9th studio album from our friends in Rise Against and the mayor just declared it Rise Against Day in Chicago!   Maybe they’ll get the key to the city?!  <3 Lauren

“Also on Friday, beginning at 5 PM CT, Rise Against will commandeer Chicago’s Reckless Records (the Wicker Park store at 1379 N. Milwaukee Ave.) for a special in-store appearance – the store’s first in more than a year.  The 50 fifty lucky fans who purchase a copy of Nowhere Generation will have the opportunity to see a special Tim McIlrath solo acoustic set at the store.  After the performance, the entire band will sign copies of the new album for everyone in attendance.”

And SURPISE here’s a brand new song from RA!  About which Tim McIlrath says, “I’ve never thought of our songs as ‘brave’ or ‘bold,’  I think of them as just common sense.  When you feel that no one is listening to you, you tend to talk louder, and when you feel no one notices you, you start doing things to get their attention.  That’s what this song is about.”
