Rise Against Announce Fiery New Album ‘Ricochet’ With Lead Single ‘I Want It All’

by | May 28, 2025

Four years after their last full-length release, punk veterans Rise Against return with a vengeance. Their upcoming album Ricochet, landing on 15th August via Loma Vista Recordings, is a powerful reminder of the band’s ability to channel rage, resilience, and radical empathy into stadium-sized punk rock that still hits with personal precision. Produced by Catherine Marks (Boygenius, Foals, St. Vincent) and mixed by Alan Moulder (Nine Inch Nails, Paramore, The Killers), Ricochet is not just a new chapter for the Chicago four-piece—it’s a manifesto. In a world consumed by outrage and algorithmic manipulation, Rise Against call for pause, reflection, and resistance. Not through blind fire, but through intent.

“The algorithm wants our attention so it is designed to make us laugh or cry,” frontman Tim McIlrath reflects, “but mostly, it wants us to be angry… Who benefits from our anger? Questions we don’t ask, as we fire away.”

The lead single I Want It All, out now, is a searing call to reclaim agency in a society designed to divide. With its rallying chorus and Sisyphean-themed video, the track sets the tone for an album concerned not just with protest, but with the inner transformation that leads to meaningful change.

Following recent singles Nod and Prizefighter, which wrestles with creative autonomy in an attention-deficit culture, Ricochet continues to expand Rise Against’s sonic scope while staying rooted in the moral clarity that’s always defined their work. As McIlrath puts it, Ricochet is “massive in sound,” but rooted in the quiet corners of the psyche that spark collective action. “It starts with ourselves.”

Across their storied career, Rise Against have weathered—and in many ways, defined—the evolution of politically conscious punk rock. From 2004’s Siren Song Of The Counter Culture through 2021’s Nowhere Generation, they’ve retained a rare balance of commercial success and uncompromising messaging.

Whether tackling social inequality, environmental collapse, war, or youth disenfranchisement, Rise Against have never wavered in their commitment to cause. It’s earned them multi-Platinum records, billions of streams, and a fiercely loyal global fanbase that knows every chorus is backed by conviction. With Ricochet, they sound not only reinvigorated, but sharpened—less interested in yelling into the void, and more focused on who’s pulling the strings behind it.

Having already played to packed rooms at LA’s Kia Forum and completed a three-continent sweep, Rise Against return to the road this summer for a major EU/UK tour and festival headline run, including stops at Rock Im Park, Rock Am Ring, Nova Rock and their only UK stop at Donington Park’s Download Festival. They’ll follow it up with a US leg including amphitheatres, arena shows, and a hotly anticipated appearance at the revived Vans Warped Tour. For UK fans, Download will be the first chance to hear Ricochet’s material live—a fresh chapter from a band that has consistently delivered anthems that resonate in the bones and echo in the streets.

For fans of rock with a conscience, and protest music with polish, Ricochet isn’t just an album—it’s a wake-up call. The world might be lobbing chaos in every direction, but Rise Against are standing firm, asking us not to simply survive—but to act, unite, and endure. “We don’t have to scream just to scream. We scream to be heard—and maybe, just maybe, to change something.” – Rise Against
