Description
The little finger squeak before the first line of Swing Life Away still catches the ear. Rise Against’s Siren Song of the Counter Culture marked their 2004 major label leap with producer Garth Richardson, sharpening the attack without sanding off the heart. Give It All barrels forward with a bass-and-drums sprint before the gang vocals explode, while Paper Wings turns tension into one of their biggest choruses. And in the middle, that acoustic breather Swing Life Away proves Tim McIlrath could carry a room with just a melody and a memory.
This pressing opens the sound up; guitars have more space and the low end sits deeper, so the dynamics between fury and release land cleaner. File it beside Bad Religion’s early 2000s run, but where they stay cerebral, Rise Against swing for the cathartic. If you’d rather order online, you can buy Rise Against records online with us. It’s the kind of record you can blast on a late drive or lean on for a quick Saturday tidy, and it still feels pointed.
A staple for anyone filling out that melodic hardcore shelf, and a strong entry point if you’re new to the band. Available to buy online with quick delivery Australia wide, or pick it up in our Melbourne record store.
