Rise Against

With the iTunes money kindly bestowed to me, I went out and bought Rise Against. Who is Rise Against? Only the most hardcore punk band ever. Like, they are apparently banned in some southern and midwest states. How much more cool can you get? I'm sort of sad I didn't discover them earlier/ go to their concert. I heard it rocked. Anyway, Collapse is a great song, as is Roadside. if you like fast, angry music, listen to them. If not, don't. They sort of remind me of DKm and Flogging Molly, with the heavy guitar and fast music. I really like them. In all their albums, they include books to be read and movies to see in order to understand them. The phrase "when injustice becomes law, rebellion becomes duty" really fits them. There's nothing much more to use to describe them, except they are totally boss and I could sort of see their stuff in a movie about an underground group in, like, communist Russia, with Viggo Mortensen as the leader and maybe Adrian Brody or Daniel craig as second in command and Marc Warren just randomly thrown in for good measure. That would be a great movie that I would totally see... Just a hint, Peter Jackson/ Martin Scorsese/other cool, award winning director. Just a thought.
