Chicago, United States (1999 – present)

Rise Against are a band from Chicago, Illinois. Formed in 1999, and originally performing under the name Transistor Revolt, they released a self-produced demo entitled Transistor Revolt in 2000, a year before signing with Fat Wreck Chords to release their first two albums, The Unraveling in 2001, and Revolutions Per Minute in 2003. They later switched to Dreamworks Records and recorded their album Siren Song of the Counter Culture. However, Universal Music Group took over Dreamworks Records and Rise Against finally found themselves on Geffen Records, a Universal Music Group subsidiary, releasing Siren Song of the Counter Culture in August 2004. A re-issued version of The Unraveling was released on August 23, 2005 through Fat Wreck Chords. They released their 4th studio album entitled “The Sufferer and The Witness” on July 4th 2006.

Rise Against’s original lineup consisted of Tim McIlrath (vocals and guitar), Joe Principe (bass and vocals), Brandon Barnes (drums), and Mr.Precision (guitar and vocals), and recorded its debut album with renowned punk producer Mass Giorgini. Mr. Precision left the band in 2001 and was replaced by Todd Mohney, the guitarist of McIlrath’s side project The Killing Tree. Shortly after the band signed with Geffen, Mohney left and was replaced by Chris Chasse.

    @fasteer, I second pretty much everything. I'd say they need to re-invent themselves, take a new direction, experiment, try something different and fresh... Then the music will get its "power" back. They've been doing very similar stuff, the same genre, for such a long time, it's no surprise that they've hit a plateau and only come up with generic stuff now.

    This is not about playing in bigger venues and spreding their message. It's about the music. They can play where they want and spread the message all over the earth. It's just that last 2 albums just can't even compare to older ones. There's no emotion, no rage, no strenght. They are dull, slow and generic. With that over produced sound. There's a point in the life of a band when they start losing the quality. And now it's all downhill for Rise Against. Not talking about lyrics. Just music-wise. But if the music doesn't get to my heart, neither will the message.

    @geheimer333: Why everyone hates their last two albums? Because once a band becomes so popular, people tend to develop arbitrary and confusing preferences to in-fight over, instead of being thankful for all of it.
