Additional Information

Fresh off the release of their sixth album, Endgame, Rise Against is on tour and hitting the ShoWare Center in Kent. Their 2012 tour takes them from New Orleans to Kent to across the Atlantic and Europe.

As the title of the bands sixth full-length studio albumand the moniker of the albums title track Endgame is indicative of both a world that has run its course, and perhaps ushering in an entirely new start.

Its about a dangerous time in civilization, the end of life, says vocalist/guitarist Tim McIlrath. What if the life that were living right now is this unsustainable bubble that cannot go on and perhaps does not deserve to go on? What if the world we created is a place that is so unnatural and ugly that it is a world that needs to come to an end, so that we could have a world that is better for everybody? It sounds very utopian, but its not about a perfect place, but maybe some of these things were doing, they need to come to an end.
