Rise Against Release New Single ‘Prizefighter’

Rise Against recently shared their second new single of the year.

Out now via Loma Vista Recordings, “Prizefighter” illustrates the internal battle between making art, maintaining autonomy, and meeting the demands of the present day’s never-ending, rapidly-shifting attention span.

Rise Against lead vocalist and lyricist Tim McIlrath says, “‘Prizefighter’ is about a compulsion to create, that then creates an audience, and then your connection with that audience and your responsibilities to that audience, and how much an artist is obliged to that audience. It’s trying to reconcile the shift from spectator to the public arena, and what you owe the people that are your fans versus what you owe your own mental health.”

“Prizefighter” was produced by Catherine Marks and mixed by Alan Moulder.

The new song follows Rise Against’s blazing return with “Nod” – their first new single in three years.

Rise Against have toured across three continents this year and have made “Nod” a highlight of their live sets.

Tim McIlrath (lead vocals/guitar), Joe Principe (bass/vocals), Zach Blair (guitar/vocals) and Brandon Barnes (drums) are currently in the midst of their Rise of The Roach tour.
