WOLVES, the new album from Rise Against, debuts at No. 1 on Billboard’s Alternative, Top Rock and Hard Rock albums charts. It is the band’s third album to debut atop these three charts, following 2011’s Endgame and 2014’s The Black Market. On the Billboard 200, WOLVES bows in the top 10, marking the band’s fifth top 10 debut. The album charted in the top five in Canada, Germany and Australia. WOLVES was recorded with GRAMMY®-winning producer Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters, Alice in Chains, Deftones). In this feature, Forbes proclaimed, “Rise Against Keep The Tradition Of Great Political Bands Alive.” Kerrang awarded WOLVES five out of five stars and noted, “The world may be getting worse, but Rise Against are still getting better.”Praising the album’s “fervent first single, Rolling Stone said, “‘The Violence’ is packed with jagged guitar riffs and rumbling drums that combine with Tim McIlrath punchy vocals to create a furious tension that finally bursts with a soaring chorus.” The band’s summer co-headline tour with Deftones continues this week with a June 20 concert at Charlotte Metro Credit Union Amphitheatre in Charlotte, NC and a trio of Florida shows. Rise Against will headline Los Angeles’ Shrine Exposition Hall on July 13 and 14 and launch a North American headline tour with special guests Pierce the Veil and White Lung on September 14. Tickets are on sale now. Every pair of tickets for the upcoming fall headline dates includes a physical copy of WOLVES. Rise Against is Tim McIlrath (lead vocals/rhythm guitar), Zach Blair (lead guitar), Joe Principe (bass) and Brandon Barnes (drums).Throughout its career, the band has kept its moral compass steady, using its international punk platform to speak out for social justice.
