Chicago punk icons Rise Against have been penning passionate anthems of informed resistance and rebellion for over two decades. Now, after four years between albums, the foursome have returned with the announcement of a brand new LP.
Dubbed Ricochet, the band’s 10th studio long-player is due to make landfall on Friday, 15th August. Produced by GRAMMY-winner Catherine Marks (Boygenius, Foals, Manchester Orchestra, St. Vincent) and mixed by Alan Moulder (Nine Inch Nails, Paramore, Queens of the Stone Age, The Killers), the LP is packing 12 fresh tracks, the latest of which, the rousing and anthemic ‘I Want It All’, has been unleashed in tandem with this week’s album announcement.
Rise Against – ‘I Want It All’
“Ricochet is about our collective inter-connectedness,” frontman Tim McIlrath says of the LP. “We started with the title track and that being about how we’re all — whether we like it or not — stuck in the same room, so to speak. Everything you do is going to affect somebody; everything you throw will affect the next person. We’re connected to other countries, other economies; we’re connected to undocumented immigrants. We’re connected to every decision our leaders make. It’s all one big ricochet effect. That idea is the backbone of this album.”
‘I Want It All’ follows the release of previous singles ‘Nod’ and ‘Prizefighter’, both of which are included on the tracklist for Ricochet.
Rise Against will be supporting the album with a stacked itinerary of tour and festival dates across 2025. No Aussie dates have been unveiled just yet, but we’ll keep you up to date if and when that changes.
Good Things 2025, perhaps?
