Anyone listen to 'Rise Against'

[sganro]

^^^ I have a fairly broad taste in music so i am into a fair bit of othe stuff too.

Unfortunately we dont get many gigs up here so i dont get to see too many bands live :cry:

THE best band in that genre is Alexisonfire, hands down, no competition! their live gig was insane to say the least.
If you haven't heard them, check out their myspace page, listen to This Could Be Anywhere In The World, Rough Hands and Boiled Frogs in that order
will help if you play it on a decent sound system, it's even better on cd turned up in your car to max, good for scaring people too

edit: also check out Moneen

If i could only listen to two bands for the rest of my life, it'd be them

So They Say is a kick ass band.

The song 'Just forget my name' pretty much defines rock n roll.

Rise Against is a fantastic band, great live band. Considering how big they've become they still hang on the their original sound for the most part. Revolutions Per Minute is by far my favourite by them.

Some similar bands worth checking out:
The Loved Ones (Probably the closest sounding band)
Crime In Stereo (I'm probably the only person who thinks they are alike haha)
Strike Anywhere (A Little more abrasive punk sound)
Pennywise (Share some similarities with RA's older albums)
Lifetime (Veterans of melodic hardcore, but obvious influences for RA)
Ignite (Similar to Lifetime)

Find them easy enough on Soulseek or maybe iTunes.
