Rise Against returns with new album Ricochet, their most resounding & reinvigorating music to date. Twelve songs, produced by GRAMMY-winner Catherine Marks & mixed by Alan Moulder, these punk rock pathfinders find a world of constant stimuli, algorithms intended to aggravate & divide. They ask fans to consider who ultimately benefits from this collective division & displeasure. An album massive in sound, but centered around the small parts of the psyche that lead to the biggest positive change.
