Shortly before the release of their new album Ricochet, Rise Against have now released the record’s title track, complete with music video. Watching it, it immediately becomes clear that there’s a deeper message behind it — one that singer Tim McIlrath has already shared with us on Instagram:
“When I was writing ‘Ricochet,’ I couldn’t shake this image: people dancing while bombs and bullets careened overhead. That contrast — the obliviousness of joy against the backdrop of destruction — felt like the world we’re living in. The video brings that to life. It’s about more than action and reaction. It’s about how even our silence, even our detachment, carries weight. Every choice, every shrug, every shot fired — they all ricochet.”
-Tim McIlrath
