Rise Against is sharing a new single called “Prizefighter,” which explores the relationship between artists and their audience.
Frontman Tim McIlrath discussed the song’s themes, saying, “It’s trying to reconcile the shift from spectator to the public arena, and what you owe the people that are your fans vs. what you owe your own mental health.”
The band promised a mix of traditional and unexpected elements on their upcoming album and McIlrath said fans can expect a different side of Rise Against in 2025.
