Rise Against is back with the group’s first new studio album in four years, Nowhere Generation, set to be released on June 4 via Loma Vista Recordings.
Nowhere Generation examines Millenials’, Gen Y’s, and Gen Z’s pursuit of The American Dream while pointing a finger at big business and politics for stacking the deck against them.
Frontman Tim McIlrath said in a statement, “Today there is the promise of the American Dream, and then there is the reality of the American Dream. America’s ‘historical norm’ that the next generation will be better off than the one that came before has been diminished by an era of mass social, economic, and political instability and a sell-out of the Middle Class. The brass ring that was promised by hard work and dedication no longer exists for everyone. When the privileged climb the ladder of success and then burn it from the top, disruption becomes the only answer.”
In conjunction with the announcement, Rise Against also debuted a new music video for the title track, “Nowhere Generation.”
