Rise Against recently released the new singles “Nod” and “Prizefighter,” and now they’ve announced a new album, Ricochet. It’s due out August 15 via Loma Vista, and we have an exclusive translucent orange crush vinyl variant up for pre-order now in the BV shop, limited to 500 copies. Here’s a mock-up:
Having made most of their albums with Descendents/Black Flag drummer Bill Stevenson and Jason Livermore, including their last LP Nowhere Generation (2021), this one was made with producer Catherine Marks (Manchester Orchestra, boygenius) and veteran mixer Alan Moulder (Nine Inch Nails, Smashing Pumpkins, My Bloody Valentine). Vocalist Tim McIlrath says:
Ricochet is about our collective inter-connectedness. 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.
Along with the announcement comes a third single, “I Want It All,” which finds the Chicago punk band embracing their grungy, anthemic alt-rock side. It comes with a Sisyphean music video and you can check that out below.
Rise Against also have tour dates coming up, including their previously-announced tour with Papa Roach and Underoath that celebrates the 25th anniversary of Papa Roach’s Infest and Rise Against’s formation. That hits the NYC-area on September 13 at Jones Beach. All dates are listed below.
