Interview: Rise Against's Tim McIlrath on Nowhere Generation, Fugazi, and the Return of Live Music

Rise Against return with their ninth studio album, Nowhere Generation, on June 4th. On that very same date, Mayor Lori Lightfoot will proclaim "Rise Against Day" in the city of Chicago.

Having their own day named after them in their hometown of Chicago is quite an honor for the melodic hardcore outfit, but it's well deserved. The band has been going strong for more than 20 years. Now, they're back with Nowhere Generation, filled with songs that detail the plight of millennials trying to make it through a tough economy while offering hope that better days could lie ahead.

Heavy Consequence recently caught up with Rise Against frontman Tim McIlrath via video Zoom to talk about the new album, including the songs "Nowhere Generation" and "Numbers", as well his experience during the pandemic and his outlook for the return of live shows.

The singer-guitarist also discussed the inspiration of one of his favorite bands, Fugazi, and how he connects his feelings toward the legendary post-hardcore act with the response of his own band's fans to Rise Against.
