Rise Against Release ‘Nod’ ahead of UK Shows This February
Chicago punk legends Rise Against have returned with their first new single in three years, and it’s everything fans have been waiting for. The track, ‘Nod,’ is out now via Loma Vista Recordings and delivers a powerful message of unity and action. Lead vocalist Tim McIlrath calls it “a solace we find in community,” blending explosive punk energy with a rallying call to resist division.
Produced by Catherine Marks (Boygenius, Foals, Manchester Orchestra) and mixed by Alan Moulder (Nine Inch Nails, Paramore), the track marks the beginning of an inspired new chapter for the band. With lyrics that challenge listeners to replace anger with action, ‘Nod’ ignites a fire to confront today’s pressing issues.
“Are you saving the world so desperately, or are you holding a gun demanding peace?” – Tim McIlrath

With billions of streams under their belt, Rise Against remain a vital force, uniting fans worldwide in their embrace of action and change.
