“It’s a pretty simple and visceral escapist sentiment,” Tim McIlrath commented in a press release. “It’s about not wanting to be in a place, physically or mentally. It’s something most of us have said to ourselves, if not aloud, at some point in our lives. Whether you feel you are being exploited or ignored or you can just imagine a better place, it’s about longing for that place and finally admitting to yourself that you aren’t content with you current situation. But it doesn’t have the answer either. It’s just the first step.”
The first single “I Don’t Want To Be Here Anymore” after only 14 days is already No. 19 and the No. 1 spin gainer for the second week in a row on the Alternative Chart and No. 25 and one of the top spin gainers on the Active Rock Chart.
After 15 years, and six incendiary albums, Rise Against have become one of the most successful, challenging and revered punk rock bands on the planet. They’ve sold 4 million albums globally across their last four releases with 2011’s Endgame debuting at No. 1 in Germany and Canada, and No. 2 on the U.S. Billboard album chart.
