Rise Against release first new song in three years!
Punk-rock stalwarts Rise Against release their first new song in three years, Broken Dreams, Inc. Produced by Bill Stevenson, Jason Livermore, Andrew Berlin, and Chris Beeble, the song is angry, fast and furious punk rock, with ruthless drums, pounding bass, blazing guitar and impassioned vocals.
Rise Against are known for its explosive live shows, and its outspoken, socially-conscious lyrics that speak to the mood of our times: the environment, economic injustice, forced displacement, political corruption, voter registration, animal rights, and interpersonal relationships, all delivered with big, chunky riffs and melodic post-grunge hooks.
“Broken Dreams, Inc. speaks to today’s changing landscape of American society, the opportunities that are available to some but not to others, the people who are able to benefit versus those who get left behind, who suffer and end up as casualties. How do we level the playing field so everyone can have a real chance at attaining the American Dream? You have to put power into the hands of the people, not business, you have to value people and community over profit. You can’t have a shareholder-run country or a shareholder-run world, a world that values profit above all else, because profit above all else can result in dangerous repercussions for humankind,” says Rise Against’s vocalist/lyricist Tim McIlrath.
