Rise Against return with anthemic new song “Nod”

Rise Against are back with their first new song in three years, “Nod.” After a temperate beginning, it launches into a fired-up chorus that feels like a first-raised singalong on first listen. It’s classic Rise Against, and also entirely of the moment. Tim McIlrath says, “‘Nod’ is about the solace we find in community. It’s about the comfort in knowing that we are not alone. This comfort can temper our anger and our frustration, at least temporarily.”

The song was produced by Catherine Marks (Manchester Orchestra, boygenius) and mixed by alt-rock veteran Alan Moulder (My Bloody Valentine, Smashing Pumpkins, Nine Inch Nails, etc), and it’s out now via Loma Vista. Check out the song and its video below.

Rise Against also have tons of tour dates coming up this year, including their tour with Papa Roach and Underoath that celebrates the 25th anniversary of Papa Roach’s Infest and Rise Against’s formation. That tour hits the NYC-area on September 13 at Jones Beach. All dates are listed below.
