This seems very much like a publicity release. I suppose if it were something I'd be more into I wouldn't gripe.

Took the words outta me mouth. That song is to anti-war sentiment as GD's "Time Of Your Life" is to high school graduations.

And creating a popular anthem for something is... bad?

Tittus (June 9, 2009)

So what if its a publicity stunt? Great band that deserves to be heard.

I meant posting this as news looks like a press release.

Sad to say, but the new Anti-Flag is pretty good.

Tim Mcllrath is a guest vocalist so this is relevant to post here.

I actually don't really dig Tim's voice at all, in fact, I think I enjoy A-F more than I do RA.

i agree with you that the new AF is pretty damn good, but i cant help but think it would be so much better if they left the lead vocals up to chris #2. justin's misguided faux-british accent is just so fucking grating.

wait so they'd actually charge for it normally? when you can just watch it on youtube?

How are you going to watch it on your 1.5"x1.5" iPod screen using youtube, jackass?

Crystal Meth and a track suit.

I changed my mind, I posted something, but like Dante's answer more.

Dante3000 (rich) (June 9, 2009)

The Track suit is key. It's functional and fashionable.

Go vegan and start running.

However if you don't mind smelling bad and getting lots of zits, Dante's plan will work much faster...

That is what i was going to say. Go Vegan!1

Hahahaha...hilarious, someone named Tim_Armstrong commenting on his vocal abilities.

BluthCo (June 9, 2009)

Even though they haven't made a great album since "Revolutions Per Minute," I never thought Rise Against would make a song this bad.

JayTee (June 9, 2009)

Gregory is like, political and stuff.

trolley (June 9, 2009)

Not free in Canada...fucking BS.

givemeamuseumandillfillit (June 9, 2009)

This bands popularity is incredibly scattered. They're playing to 500 people in one town and 5000 in the next...

Rise Against six years ago= Gods.

Rise Against today= Nickleback and Creed's newborn baby.

Disgrace.
