Rise Against are definitely a band that wear their values on their sleeves. The name says it all. And these punk rockers live up to all expectations!
Over the past 10 years, Rise Against have established themselves as a formidable force in punk rock. If you were lucky enough to see them at the Big Day Out, or at one of their side shows earlier this year, then you know these guys are a big deal.
The fact they hooked up with Vans to release their own sweatshop free, vegan shoes sweetens the deal. But what really sets Rise Against apart is the fact they'll never pass up an opportunity to speak up for animals.
So we were thrilled when they met up with Unleashed at the Melbourne Big Day Out for an exclusive interview — and to sign some merch that you could win! (enter the contest below the vid). What did they have to say?Don't they just rock your socks off!? Well now we need you to rise to the occasion.
Give your friends something to think about — use the form below to share the Rise Against goodness with 4 of your mates and you'll go into the running to win one of 4 tees signed by the band!
Too late! This contest has expired. But wait—there's more!
