Appeal to Reason

Rise Against

Polished melodic hardcore that trades raw speed for massive, radio-ready hooks and sharp anti-establishment critiques. A definitive document of late-2000s protest rock.

October 2, 2008 · DGC

A high-energy blend of righteous indignation and anthemic hope.

Moments Worth Listening For
The relentless, driving bassline that carries the bridge of Savior into its final explosive chorus
The jarring shift from aggressive punk to the stark, finger-picked vulnerability of Hero of War
The way the opening feedback of Collapse (Post-Amerika) snaps into a perfectly synchronized drum fill
