Chicago, United States (1999 – present)

Rise Against is a hardcore punk 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, Dreamworks Records got taken over by the Universal Music Group 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. Their 4th studio album entitled “The Sufferer and The Witness” was released 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. Shortly after the band signed with Geffen, Mohney left and was replaced by Chris Chasse. After the release of the The Sufferer and The Witness, Chasse left the band due to the “overwhelming tour schedule stacked on growing pressures and demands” (he is now in a band Last of the Believers; in his place now stands Zach Blair of Only Crime.

This argue if they're hardcore or punk rock or anyshit again... all of us are tired to know they're melodic hardcore and last.fm tags sucks.

I love Rise Against, one of my all-time favorites, but I don't feel like they are punk rock OR hardcore. If anything, they are a little bit of melodic hardcore, alternative, and pop-punk. Some kind of mix.

"yeah tim actually knows what he's speaking about, unlike some (anti flag)" I don't really get this. At least Justin from A-F has a University degree minoring in Political Science.
