Nowhere Generation Red Vinyl

If ever there was a perfect time for a new album from the outspoken, sociallyconscious, multiGold and Platinum punk rock band Rise Against, itrsquos right now.nbsp Nowhere Generation, due out June 4 on Loma Vista Recordings, is blazing and aggressive, fusing oldschool punk attitude with posthardcore fury.nbsp Lyrically, the eleven songs were influenced by input from the bandrsquos vocalistlyricist Tim McIlrathrsquos two young daughters, and the bandrsquos community of fans, and point an enormous spotlight at the social and economic deck that has been stacked against younger generationrsquos pursuit of The American Dream.nbsp Today, there is the promise of The American Dream, and then there is the reality of The American Dream.nbsp Americarsquos ldquohistorical normrdquo that ldquothe next generation will be better off than the one that came beforerdquo has been diminished by an era of mass social, economic, and political instability, and a sellout of the Middle Class.nbspnbsp The brass ring that was promised by hard work and dedication no longer exists for everyone, and as was the case with the counterculture of the 1960s, disruption becomes the only answer for the Nowhere Generation.Nowhere Generation was recorded at The Blasting Room in Fort Collins, Colorado under the tutelage of Jason Livermore, Andrew Berlin, Chris Beeble and longtime producerengineer Bill Stevenson Black Flag, The Descendents who has worked with the band on nearly all of their acclaimed releases since their sophomore effort, 2003rsquos Revolutions Per Minute, and is often described as Rise Againstrsquos fifth member.Rise Against is rhythm guitaristvocalist McIlrath, bassist Joe Principe, drummer Brandon Barnes, and guitarist Zach Blair.
