Grammatizator D45 - iTunes Exclusive Available 10/20 | News

IGA — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 13:05:00 GMT

The lyrics on , "Grammatizator", were inspired by a Roald Dahl short story. It harkens back to not only our early days as a band, but the early days of punk. The days of ROIR cassettes, Bad Brains, and Black Flag found their way into our musical upbringing and years later poured into this song. We hope you enjoy hearing them half as much as we enjoyed creating them.

The B-Side, "Hero Of War" - live at H.O.B. Boston" has become one of the many benchmarks in our own time as a band, it has stirred the hearts of many. It was a story gasping for air and we gave it life on our most recent record, Appeal To Reason, before it took on a life of it's own in the last year and sparked dialogue throughout our fan base and beyond.

SUPPORT THE TROOPS END THE WAR...PART 2 | News

IGA — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 20:19:00 GMT

We wanted to share some responses from our peers.
- rise against

"We've found that people in the Armed Forces tend to understand firsthand the value of standing up for what you believe in, so I think they'll respect this decision. They know that there is a huge difference between supporting the troops and supporting the recruitment of young people to fight wars started by politicians. Anyone who knows Rise Against knows how much they care about the troops."-Jonny 5, FLOBOTS

"Playing Rise Against songs on a stage sponsored by the army is contrary to the beliefs of the very songs. Militarism is not the solution to the problems we face in this world today. That is the very dialogue that Rise Against is trying to create with their songs and this statement. The fact is that Rise Against care about all men and women, INCLUDING the men and women that serve in the military. We have seen these very people sent in to harm's way without just cause too many time. It is because of this misuse of the US Army, that a band like Rise Against must make this statement."-Number 2, ANTI-FLAG

"Radio stations like the Buzz have made their name playing artists who think outside of conventional musical paradigms. It's sad that they are undermining their artists' beliefs by bullying them and calling them names when they have a difference of opinion. Implying that a band like Rise Against, truly one of the most compassionate and sincere bands around today, is anti-troop or antiwar, is a bold-faced lie. Rise Against is an American band against a specific US war. Period. That makes them a part of our great national debate AND quite patriotic. "-Geoff Rickley, THURSDAY

SUPPORT THE TROOPS END THE WAR | News

IGA — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 15:57:00 GMT

Earlier this year, Rise Against agreed to the play the Buzz Bake Sale in West Palm Beach, FL scheduled to take place in December 09. We've played this same show in the past and it's always been a great time, the crowds are epic, the station has always been gracious hosts, and we were honored to be asked to headline it for the first time this year. As the date closed in, we discovered that we were scheduled to headline a stage sponsored by the US Army's Recruitment Dept. As a band that has worked in counter-recruitment in the past, we decided it would be hypocritical and inappropriate for us to headline this stage. In addition, we were surprised that a radio station claiming to be familiar with Rise Against thought that we would be ok with the idea that we would play a show and subject our fans to military recruitment tactics in a time of war, a war we adamantly and publicly have opposed since it's bumbled inception. To be clear, this was not an event to honor the military, this was an event that the US ARMY was interested in recruiting people at, and we felt that our fans should be free from that interference at a rock show on a Sunday night in a time of war. Recruiters are a part of the military that even many members of the military will admit their distaste for their documented unethical tactics. We asked if something could be done, and when we were told no, we respectfully bowed out of the unannounced show for obvious reasons, and left it at that. We assumed the station was depending on the financial support of the sponsor and so we held no grudge.

Thinking that was the end of it, the radio station retaliated. In an act reminiscent of McCarthyism witch-hunts, the radio station has come to the unfounded, false and irresponsible conclusion that Rise Against is "against the army" and, as of this morning, has decided to spread this misinformation over the airwaves, threaten to not play songs, and call for a boycott of Rise Against. Listening to the broadcast, we were surprised at willingness of the DJ's to spin off of a lie. At no point did they consider the information simply wasn't true. In addition to a number of lies, they even decided to tell their listeners that we said "F-U to the army" from the stage at past Buzz Bake Sales, something that simply isn't true and that we would never do.

To dignify this ridiculous scare tactic, Rise Against supports the troops and always have. In the past year, Rise Against worked closely with the USO to allow troops and their families to attend our shows with Rancid for free. As our economy spiraled over the summer, we played near about 14 different military bases, making this all possible. We also continue to work closely with the Iraq Veterans Against The War who attended and tabled many Rise Against shows in the last year. We hear from troops overseas on a daily basis through email and cherish that contact. We learned so much in the time we spent with all of these individuals and look forward to doing it again.

Again, Rise Against is against the war. Rise Against is not against the military. It is an insult to the intelligence of Americans to claim they are one in the same. We know our fans know this, all of the amazing troops we've met over the last ten years know this, and that most people can see through the transparent and shameless attacks by this radio station. How someone can be "against" their brothers and sisters and mothers and fathers and neighbors and classmates and the very fans in the front row of our show is beyond us.

That said, we grew up in a time where the decisions and stances that bands took in their career are the things that defined them, and what made them special and respected by fans and media alike. Nobody would have asked Rage Against The Machine to headline this stage. To not respect the decisions and stances of bands across this vast musical landscape puts real music and real musicians in jeopardy. To have radio stations become bullies and threaten the artists they play to conform with their agenda or else face the consequences is something that flys in the face of not only the scene, but of this country. Many of the bands that BUZZ 103 plays on the airwaves carved their name through the stands that they took musically and politically. We need to be wary of those who would bully artists into an agenda set by those who control the airwaves.

If we were to bow to this pressure, we would not be Rise Against. Shame on you BUZZ103 for even asking us to. Last time we checked, supporting the troops involves more than just accepting their money that you need to put on shows. We are sorry to the Rise Against fans who took BUZZ103s word as truth and had to spend the better part of the day believing that we are the monsters the DJs made us out as.

We apologize for this obstacle standing between us and our amazing fans in Florida, we know our fans understand and are confident they would be much more disappointed if we were to go back on our stance and follow through with this show. We will be playing that night elsewhere with a radio station that understands our band and our amazing fanbase. We look forward to making it up to you soon West Palm, we know your radio station doesn't speak for you.

Support The Troops; End The War

10th Anniversary Show | News

IGA — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 19:36:00 GMT

It's hard to believe it's been almost ten years since we first planted the seeds of what would eventually become Rise Against. To celebrate, we thought we'd dust off some songs we haven't played in awhile and bring them to our favorite venue in the city that gave birth to this band. Whether you're an old fan, a new fan of the old stuff, or in the dark about our Fat Wreck years, it promises to be a sweet night. If all goes well, we plan to make this an annual event in a different city with a different charity every year. Thanks for ten great years Chicago, onward!

IGA — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 20:43:00 GMT

Hey all, Tim here. Before we shot our video to Savior (which went awesome!) last weekend, I checked out a movie called The Cove, and was so blown away I felt I needed to share; The Cove tells the amazing story of how an elite team of activists, film makers, and free divers embarked on a covert mission to penetrate a hidden cove in Japan, shining light on a dark and deadly secret. Go to www.thecovemovie.com and check out the trailer to get the picture and the find out where it's playing in your area and check it out. Whether you care about the environment, animals, or are just simply out to identify and end injustice, this movie cannot be missed. I had the pleasure of meeting some of the people involved in the film and they were really excited about Rise Against fans coming out to the theaters. Hit us back with what you thought, I'd love to hear your thoughts. Spread the word ! Films like The Cove have the potential to affect serious change if we can get the word out.

We're off in Europe right now doing the festival circuit, but we just got footage back from our summer show in Philadelphia. Definitely a tour highlight, we played outside at Festival Pier along the river this summer while on tour with Rancid. We barely managed to finish most of the set before the sky opened up and poured rain on the 5000 fans who were barely phased by it. Once again we passed out cameras to a handful of people in the crowd, and here's what they came back with. Thanks Philly!
