Event details: Rise Against w/ Rancid and Billy Talent
Description
Show Time: 7:30pm
Chicago's Rise Against began in 1999 to be rooted in the sound and social vision of traditionalist hardcore. The band made their major-label debut in August 2004 with "Siren Song of the Counter Culture." They toured steadily after the album's release, received plenty of solid press, and even saw Counter Culture crack the Billboard Top 200. The band continues to tour nationwide.
One of the cornerstone bands of the '90s punk revival, Rancid's unabashedly classicist sound drew heavily from the Clash's early records, echoing their fascination with ska, while adding a bit of post-hardcore crunch. Critics praise their political commitment, surging energy, and undeniable unique sound with a hook. And, regardless of critical debate over their significance, the band's strengths made them perhaps the most popular neo-punk band after Green Day and the Offspring.

Appearances can be deceiving. By all accounts, Billy Talent is a young band just releasing their second album. Hell, its even called II. But like most stories worth hearing, the best part often lies beneath the surface. While II is the Toronto-based quartets sophomore ...Billy Talent tour dates and bio
Rancid
In late 2007 we all spent a few weeks together writing in Utah at Unknown Studios. The chemistry has been incredible and this record has come together very organically. All of the songs were written with us all 4 together in the same room. We hung out at Brandens house an...
