Tim McIlrath from Rise Against

HAPPY 13TH ANNIVERSARY TO THE SHOW.

On this episode, we sit down with Tim McIlrath of Rise Against to dig into the band’s remarkable longevity and the intentional ways they’ve continued to challenge and inspire listeners over the years. Tim reflects on the band’s history—from their early days in Chicago’s punk and hardcore scene to becoming a globally recognized voice for resistance and change. We talk about his straight edge roots, what it means to keep pushing buttons in a world that often prefers comfort, and how Rise Against continue to evolve without losing sight of their core ethos. Plus, Tim shares insights on the band’s new release, offering a window into where they are headed next.
