Rise Against Stream “Help Is On The Way” Video

By 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.
