Rise Against Releases New Track with a Message
Rise Against is one of those bands that attempts to speak what they believe in with their songs, and their newest release comes with a message that backs that up.
The band’s frontman, Tim McIlrath, shared the following along with a graphic on the band’s main Instagram page:
“When I was writing ‘Ricochet,’ I couldn’t shake this image: people dancing while bombs and bullets careened overhead. That contrast — the obliviousness of joy against the backdrop of destruction — felt like the world we’re living in. The video brings that to life. It’s about more than action and reaction. It’s about how even our silence, even our detachment, carries weight. Every choice, every shrug, every shot fired — they all ricochet.”
Watch the “Ricochet” music video and make sure to save the pre-release for their new album, ‘RICOCHET,’ which is out this Friday, August 15th.
