Rise Against drop first new music in three years, Nod

Ahead of their UK tour next month, Chicago punk legends Rise Against have dropped a new track, Nod, three years since their last album, 2021's Nowhere Generation. Produced by Boygenius and St Vincent producer Catherine Marks, it's a huge-sounding, uplifting stomper that acts as a call for unity, according to frontman Tim McIlrath.

“Nod is about the solace we find in community,” he says. “It’s about the comfort in knowing that we are not alone. This comfort can temper our anger and our frustration, at least temporarily.”

Check it out below.

It kicks off a busy year for the band. As well as hitting the UK and Europe in a couple of weeks, they're also teaming up with Papa Roach in the U.S. for the Rise Of The Roach double-bill.
