Rise Against have followed up the release of recent single ‘Nod’ with their latest track ‘Prizefighter’.
Vocalist and lyricist Tim McIlrath says, “‘Prizefighter’ is about a compulsion to create, that then creates an audience, and then your connection with that audience and your responsibilities to that audience, and how much an artist is obliged to that audience. It’s trying to reconcile the shift from spectator to the public arena, and what you owe the people that are your fans versus what you owe your own mental health.”
