Rise Against surprise release new EP ‘Nowhere Generation II’ (watch “Last Man Standing” video) - Pop It Records

Rise Against released their ninth album, Nowhere Generation, last year, and today they've surprise-released its follow-up, a new EP. Nowhere Generation II is out now via Loma Vista, and was written and recorded alongside Nowhere Generation, with production by Bill Stevenson. See the cover art and tracklist below.

They've also shared a new video, directed by Ryan Valdez, of the EP's second track, "Last Man Standing." The song "was a way of expressing some frustration with our world in regards to exploitation, public alienation and human inequality," Valdez says. "As you see in the video, we are fed through this race of survival. Only to be taken down, regardless of our success or efforts. Almost as if the game was rigged, designed to set us up for failure."

Rise Against are on tour in Europe now, and they have a summer North American run with The Used and Senses Fail beginning in July. It includes an NYC show at The Rooftop at Pier 17 on August 9; see all dates below.
