Rise Against Tickets

Rise Against is a punk rock band known as much for their political views as their musical ability. The group has been together for more than a decade, rocking concert venues across the country.

Their current album release, "Endgame," is the focus of their latest concert tour, although Rise Against ticket holders will undoubtedly be treated to a wide range of this band's hits during their current performances. While you may not leave a Rise Against concert feeling particularly uplifted, it is guaranteed to make you think - and you will enjoy some first-class, hard-core rock music in the process.

Rise Against originally came together under the name Transistor Revolt in 1999 with founding members Tim McIlrath on vocals, Joe Principe on bass and vocals, Toni Tintari on drums, and Mr. Precision on guitar and vocals.

The following year, the group released their first title album, and then changed its name to Rise Against in 2001. Their third album, "Siren Song of the Counter Culture," was released in 2004, under the Dreamworks Records album label. Subsequent albums continued to help this punk group climb to the top of the charts, and Rise Against tickets began selling more and more.

This band is well known for their support of animal rights and the organization PETA. All of the members are vegetarians, and all but one are straight edge, meaning they don't drink alcohol or do recreational drugs. The band has also been involved in political campaigns, and it was very vocal in their opposition to President George Bush and support of President Obama.

What to Expect from Rise Against Tickets

Rise Against ticket holders get an earful of fabulous punk rock music and the band's political views at many of their concerts. This band pulls out all the stops when it comes to performing, with plenty of hits to choose from, including, "Survive," "Injection" and "Swing Life Away." Their influences range from hardcore rock to punk bands like Face to Face and Screeching Weasel.

The band's latest album, "Endgame," pertains specifically to homophobia, in response to recent suicides of teens in the LGBT community.

Who should Purchase Rise Against Tickets?

Because this band deals with many mature, political themes, they don't tend to appeal to the bubble gum crowd. The typical Rise Against ticket holder is a fan of punk music that is also a supporter of PETA and may very well be a vegetarian, like the band members. However, anyone who enjoys hardcore punk rock music performed well will get their money's worth from the Rise Against tickets.
