Even with the rising popularity from one of the best bands on the world, Rise against is still not known in Singapore. Even so, this DVD cannot be found in HMV. Yes their album can be found, but I want this!!!!
Rise Against is a political punkrock band from Chicago, Illinois, USA, consisting of four members, Tim McIlrath (vocals, guitar), Joe Principe (bass guitar), Brandon Barnes (drums), and Zach Blair (guitar).
Rise Against has a liberal-revolutionary political stance which is seen in songs such as “Blood Red White & Blue”, “State of the Union”, “Tip the Scales”, and “Bricks”. In the booklets for Revolutions Per Minute and The Sufferer and the Witness, Tim lists books, films, and websites expressing ideals similar to Rise Against’s. They include Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States, George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four, James Loewen’s Lies My Teacher Told Me, as well as Michael Moore’s website and the film The Corporation. They also are advocates of fair trade, as shown in their video Prayer of the Refugee.
All of the group’s members are vegetarians or vegans and active supporters of PETA. Their video for the single “Ready to Fall” addresses environmental degradation and its effect on animals, as well as animal cruelty inherent to factory farming and sport hunting. The group has called the video the most important video Rise Against has ever made. The unedited version was first made available to a PETA website. – Wikipedia
