Rise Against return with first new single in three years

Today, Rise Against return with their first new music in three years. Out now on Loma Vista Recordings, ‘Nod‘ is a rally cry and call to action, fuelled by compassion, camaraderie and the collective urge for change.

Nod is about the solace we find in community. It’s about the comfort in knowing that we are not alone. This comfort can temper our anger and our frustration, at least temporarily. Tim McIlrath

Listen to ‘Nod‘ on streaming services here and watch the visualizer below.

Produced by Catherine Marks (Boygenius, Foals, Manchester Orchestra, St. Vincent) and mixed by Alan Moulder (Nine Inch Nails, Paramore, Queens of the Stone Age, The Killers), “Nod” serves as a searing statement of intent, arriving at the outset of Rise Against’s inspired next chapter. Just as the stakes could not be higher, the Chicago punk rock band is back bigger, louder and more progressive than ever, imploring listeners to replace reactions with action.

I swear to God this can’t wait. Not one more minute, one more day. Are you saving the world so desperately, or are you holding a gun demanding peace. Because the line that is drawn between nightmares and dreams is thin like a razor, and we’re fast asleep. Tim McIlrath

Following 2021’s “Nowhere Generation” – an album confronting the daunting social injustice and economic instability that has been dealt to America’s youth – Rise Against continue to meet the moment. Like the body of multi-Gold and Platinum hits that have come before it, “Nod” further amplifies the type of invigorating music, outspoken messages and bulletproof melodies that have earned billions of streams, filled arenas, topped charts, broken records, and, above all, united millions of diverse fans in a necessary embrace of vital issues.

Later this month, band members Tim McIlrath (lead vocals/guitar), Joe Principe (bass/vocals), Zach Blair (guitar/vocals) and Brandon Barnes (drums) will hit the road for an extensive run of shows across the EU and UK, before playing dozens of US arenas, amphitheatres and pavilions with Papa Roach, as part of the co-headline Rise of The Roach Tour.
