Rise Against Stream “Satellite” Video

November 3, 2011 By Bryce Jacobson Leave a Comment

Rise Against has released the official video for their new single “Satellite,” from their most recent album, [itunes link=”http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/help-is-on-the-way/id424045961?uo=4″ title=”Rise Against – Endgame” text=”Endgame”]. The video, which was directed by Marc Klasfeld (Foo Fighters, Against Me!, Katy Perry), is dedicated to the loyal fans that have stuck by Rise Against throughout their entire career. The band talked about the idea and inspiration behind the video saying:

“We finished our new video for the song “Satellite” and can’t wait to share with you because, well, it’s about you, our incredible fans! As soon as we started playing this song live this year, it was amazing to see the audience react, come alive, and go nuts. So we thought that this video should be just that, pure and simple. We couldn’t film every single one of you, but we brought a camera crew with us to try to capture a few shows on our last tour. (Thanks for not killing our camera guy in the pit). Thanks to everyone who participated, you rule.”

Rise Against Stream “Help Is On The Way” Video

March 26, 2011 By Bryce Jacobson 1 Comment

Rise Against are streaming their new video for “Help Is On The Way” which you can see below. The song comes from the bands new album, [itunes link=”http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/help-is-on-the-way/id424045961?uo=4″ title=”Rise Against – Endgame” text=”Endgame”], which is in stores now.

“We finished our new video for the song, “Help Is On The Way,” and are excited to share it with you. Directed by the esteemed Alan Ferguson, our film crew went to New Orleans and filmed what became a dramatic and compelling narrative of Hurricane Katrina through the eyes of a family. As a band, we opted out of being a part of the piece for fear our role might diminish the importance of this video and skew it’s reception. What follows is another video we are proud to put our name on.”

Rise Against will headline a U.S. tour with special guests Bad Religion and Four Year Strong starting April 5th in Las Vegas. For a complete list of tour dates visit www.riseagainst.com.
