It looks like we can add another one of rock's heavy hitters to the release schedule this year. Rise Against have headed online to tease the fact that the band is back in the studio working on a new album for 2014.

Earlier this year, Rise Against said they would take some time to recharge their batteries before recording a new album. In the meantime, they will release the compilation 'Long Forgotten Songs: B-Sides & Covers 2000 – 2013' Sept. 10 on Interscope Records.

For a band like Rise Against, the creative process is always ongoing, but frontman Tim McIlrath says that it may actually be a little while before we hear from them again. The singer tells Rolling Stone that the group wants to "recharge" a bit before starting in on a new record.

Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello, System of a Down singer Serj Tankian and Rise Against frontman Tim McIlrath have joined forces to create an unofficial anthem for the Occupy Wall Street movement. Morello recently performed a free show to mark the one-year anniversary of Occupy and to help "re-energize" the political faction.

Rise Against are well-known for the politically infused messages within their music. Having developed their own sound combining hardcore punk with a pop sensibility, the underlying essence of Rise Against’s social and political activism-through-sound has resonated with millions of fans worldwide.

The tracklist for 'Chimes of Freedom: The Songs of Bob Dylan Honoring 50 Years of Amnesty International' was announced today, the 4-disc set will feature some of the biggest names from all corners of the musical spectrum tackling the music of Bob Dylan.

Since Black Veil Brides was retired after their win last night, Hollywood Undead gets another crack at the Cockfight. They came damn close to beating BVB and will now face off against Rise Against.

Chicago punk rockers Rise Against have just debuted the video for 'Satellite' -- the follow-up single to 'Make it Stop (September's Children)' from the album 'Endgame.'

This story and video just breaks my heart for this poor kid and the thousands of kids around the world that deal with this kind of torment day in and day out. Bullying is not something new, it's been around forever but has escalated since the dawn of social networking sites. The suicide rate from bullying is higher than ever and the challenges to find a remedy are endless.

Rise Against frontman Tim McIlrath was last seen touring hard-working union towns with Rage Against the Machine’s Tom Morello, which was no shocker, considering the pop-punk performer has a long history of mixing politics with the arts. His secret to creating a popular song that gets a poignant message across? Make it a fun song, with a deeper, darker meaning.
