other · 2026-04-27

Rock band Rise Against has launched the A.R.T. Project (All Rise Together Project) to celebrate their tenth studio album, Ricochet. The initiative invited fans to create original posters in the album's signature orange and black colors, which were used as backdrops for the music videos for "Damage Is Done" and the title track "Ricochet." Lead singer Tim McIlrath emphasized the band's long-standing connection with fans, stating that the project is "a nod to those connections" and creates space for fans to share how the music has impacted them. The band will embark on a North American tour in fall 2026 with Alkaline Trio, both Chicago-based bands. McIlrath described the tour as "a celebration of community, music, and friendship."
