Rise Against is an American punk rock band from Chicago, Illinois, formed in 1999. Their current lineup consists of Tim McIlrath (vocals, guitar), Joe Principe (bass guitar), Brandon Barnes (drums), and Zach Blair (guitar), all of whom are straight edge (excluding Barnes) PETA supporters and strict vegetarians/vegans. The have made 5 albums so far and "Appeal to Reason" is Rise Against's (their latest) highest charting album so far. Tonight Rise Against will play at Arenan/Stockholm, unfortunately i can't attend at this event, but you can't be everywere, right. Im sure this will be a great evening with some nice music.

The tune of the day is "Hero Of War", which is about an Iraq War Veteran looking back on his war experiences. enjoy!
