Prizefighter Prizefighter  Live On Loud & Local 2003

Prizefighter Prizefighter  Live On Loud & Local

Join Damian as he sits down with Tim McIlrath and Zach Blair of Rise Against to chat about their much-anticipated 10th album, Ricochet, out on 15 August 2025.

The band unpack the themes behind politically charged new tracks like “Nod” and “Prizefighter”, inspired by a world grappling with unrest and rising authoritarianism. It’s not all heavy stuff though, there’s plenty of laughter as they reflect on the bands 25 years, from unforgettable shows to the stories that come with life on the road.

Whether you’re a long-time fan or just discovering Rise Against, this interview blends serious insight with stories that’ll have you grinning.
