Rise Against are one of the few bands that seamlessly combine punk energy, political conviction, and stadium-worthy hooks – and they’ve been doing it since 1999, back when they were still called Transistor Revolt. Their discography is packed with songs that channel rage, hope, and resistance. Today, we’re showcasing the band’s five most beloved tracks – the ones you'll want to scream along to at the next festival!
Savior
The ultimate Rise Against anthem, taken from their 2008 album Appeal To Reason. Fast, melodic, desperate, and yet incredibly powerful – a song that never loses its impact.
Prayer of the Refugee
An undeniable classic from The Sufferer & The Witness (2006): one of the most passionate punk anthems of the 2000s. The sudden tempo shift after the first verse is legendary and still gives goosebumps at live shows.
Satellite
A fan favorite from their 2011 album Endgame – accessible in sound, but deep in meaning. With its soaring melody and lyrics about standing strong in a conformist world, "Satellite" shows Rise Against’s balance of heart and message.
Hero of War
One of the band’s quietest yet most powerful songs: a raw acoustic ballad full of brutal honesty. Released in 2008 on Appeal To Reason, this track has become a haunting staple of their live sets.
Give It All
Old-school punk fire: “Give It All” hails from their 2004 album Siren Song of the Counter Culture, the record that marked Rise Against’s breakthrough during the politically charged punk wave of the early 2000s.
