More Artist Friendly is on the way. Following conversations with Travie McCoy of Gym Class Heroes, Mikaela Hoover, and Andrew McMahon, Tim McIlrath of Rise Against joins Joel Madden on the latest episode of the series.
Rise Against formed to inspire change for the better, taking the torch from Bad Brains, Minor Threat, and 7 Seconds to create their own political anthems. From the raw sound of 2001’s The Unraveling to the complex themes scattered across last year’s Ricochet, it’s apparent that the Chicago punks try to empower everyone around them. Along the way, they’ve championed the new wave of alternative, bringing Koyo, Destroy Boys, and Spiritual Cramp on tour with them. As their co-headlining run with Alkaline Trio presses on, the Rise Against frontman stopped by the Artist Friendly studio to discuss what’s next.
