Rise Against Drops First New Material in Three Years with Powerful Rally Cry “Nod”

Rise Against has today dropped Nod, their first new track after a three-year hiatus. Out now on Loma Vista Recordings, Nod is a powerful rallying cry, blending urgency with compassion. The Chicago punk band’s latest offering is a call to action fueled by camaraderie and the desire for change.

As lead vocalist Tim McIlrath explains, “Nod is about the solace we find in community … It’s about the comfort in knowing that we are not alone. This comfort can temper our anger and our frustration, at least temporarily.”

Produced by Catherine Marks (Foals, Frank Turner, The Amazons) and mixed by Alan Moulder (Nine Inch Nails, Suede, Queens of the Stone Age, The Killers), Nod is a bold declaration of Rise Against’s return. The song’s fiery energy, combined with McIlrath’s impassioned lyrics, urges listeners to shift from reaction to action. “I swear to God this can’t wait,” he belts in the chorus. “Not one more minute, one more day.”

The track comes on the heels of Nowhere Generation, the band’s 2021 album, which tackled issues like social injustice and economic inequality. With Nod, Rise Against continues to take a stand, addressing the divisive climate of today with a sharp focus on unity. More than just a song—it’s a statement of intent, one that promises to resonate with the band’s legions of fans.

Later this month, band members Tim McIlrath (lead vocals/guitar), Joe Principe (bass/vocals), Zach Blair (guitar/vocals) and Brandon Barnes (drums) will hit the road for an extensive run of shows across the EU and UK, before playing dozens of US arenas, amphitheatres and pavilions with Papa Roach, as part of the co-headline Rise of The Roach Tour.
