Rise Against Release ‘Nowhere Generation’ Performance Video

Armed with a blistering, aggressive new single, Nowhere Generation, politically imbued punk rockers Rise Against have released a brand new performance video of the track. Nowhere Generation is a David-and-Goliath call-to-arms directed primarily at Millennials, Gen Ys, and Gen Zs to preserve and defend the fact that people, not politicians, hold the real power and that our younger generations need to reclaim that power to ensure the future of democracy.

Nowhere Generation is the title track from what may be the most consequential full length of Rise Against‘s 20-year career, the album is due out June 4th on Loma Vista Recordings. The eleven songs on Nowhere Generation call out today’s social, economic, and political factors that are undermining and redefining one of the core tenants of being an American: that despite your race, place of birth, or societal class, if you apply yourself and work hard, you can achieve your vision of a fuller, richer and better life, The American Dream.  What is tantamount to a sell-out of the Middle Class is the thread that runs through the album.

In celebration of the release of the Nowhere Generation album Rough Trade will host a special interactive Q&A and acoustic performance by Tim McIlrath on Wednesday June 9^th at 7pm BST. The event is for UK residents only and will be hosted via Zoom, you can read more about the event and purchase tickets here
