Rise Against is okay, but also listen up for Against ME!. Their stuff is amazing! Rise Against started bothering me when they started getting all MTVish on us... ya know?
Yes I've heard some Against Me, got a couple of tunes on my mp3 player, never listened to any albums though, I like them,just have never picked up a cd. I know my daughter likes them, she's the reason I started to listen to Rise Against, I know what you mean about the MTV thing, but my kids were stoked to see that the video for Ready to Fall was filmed only 15 minutes from our house and the center of our town was in their DVD, 15 seconds of fame LOL. One thing that kind of bugs me about Rise Against is their support of PETA, I'm in for taking care of our 4 legged friends but their over the top!
Thanks for the heads up I'll have to see what my daughters got of Against Me.
