Rise Against playing FREE House of Vans shows (NYC with Walter Schreifels)
Rise Against are touring with Deftones and Thrice later this year, but first they’ll play two last-minute FREE shows at the House of Vans locations in Chicago and Brooklyn.
The Chicago show is April 21 with Direct Hit! (RSVP) and the Brooklyn show is April 24 with Dead Heavens, the psych band led by Walter Schreifels, who’s in Vanishing Life with Rise Against’s Zach Blair (RSVP). They also added a not-free LA show for 4/26.
The tour with Deftones and Thrice hits Jones Beach on June 13 (tickets). Updated tour dates are listed below.
UPDATE (4/20): Rise Against will release their new album, Wolves, on June 9 via Virgin Records, and they’ll preview songs from it at the House of Vans shows. It was produced by Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters, Deftones, Mastodon). You can stream lead single “The Violence” below.
Frontman Tim McIlrath says, “In many ways, a Rise Against show is a safe space for our fans. But I realised that I don’t only want to create safe spaces, I want to create dangerous spaces where misogyny can’t exist, where xenophobia can’t exist. I want to create spaces where those sentiments don’t have any air, and they suffocate: where those ideas die. Wolves isn’t about creating a safe space, it’s about creating a space that’s dangerous for injustice.”
And here’s “Like the Angel” for old times’ sake:
