Rise Against The Black Market

2014, THE BLACK MARKET is the 7th album from one of the most revered punk bands around today. Chicago's Rise Against began in 1999 when ex-88 Fingers Louie bassist Joe Principe tapped area vocalist Tim McIlrath for a new projectrooted in the sound and social vision of traditionalist hardcore. Joined by fellow 88 Fingers vet Dan Precision on guitar and, eventually,drummer Brandon Barnes, Rise Against issued THE UNRAVELING in 2001. Dan Precision left the band that same year tobe replaced by Todd Mohney. Extensive touring followed, leading to their sophomore outing, 2002's REVOLUTIONS PER MINUTE. THE BLACK MARKET continues Rise Against's trend of energetic, anthemic punk.
