5. RIse Against

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endgame_(Rise_Against_album)

This article offered a much deeper view into the band's new album than I knew before. The new album "Endgame" was #1 un Germany, Canada, and many of the #1 U.S. billboard positoins. ... #2 overall. This has been the largest amount of recognition on any one album for them.

Also I found out that the band takes strong positions against bullying, homophobes, harming the envirorment, and of course government. A radical band, they have started have a massive fan base and continues to grow.

This Article is an interview with lead singer/gutarist Tim McIlarth. Extremely good views on government, fans, and beliefs of his own. I found it very insightful into the band and its members. This interview is over a year old though, but its validity still holds true though.

  1. IT KILLS ME NOT TO KNOW THIS, BUT I'VE ALL BUT JUST FORGOTTEN, WHAT THE COLOR OF HER EYES WEEERE AND HER SCARS OR HOW SHE GOT THEM.

    I actually knew that they were environmentalists cause they had a whole interview on fuse a long long time ago and the anti bullying thing kinda goes without saying in one of their recent videos, but I didn't know about the government part lawlz.
    you know an awfully lot about rise against.
