Rise Against Hit #1 in Canada with “The Black Market”
Chicago punk rockers Rise Against have charged out of the gates hard with their latest album, The Black Market, as it has debuted at #1 on the 
Canadian Neilsen SoundScan chart. Released on July 15, this is the first offering from the band since their 2011 #1 album, Endgame.
Of The Black Market, the band’s vocalist Tim McIlrath says: “Rise Against has always been a political band, but also a personal band. We’ve always had songs that have a foot in both worlds. This album is a lot more introspective to me.”
When discussing the excellent lead single, “I Don’t Want to be Here Anymore,” Rise Against says that it “is a starting point, not an ending point. It’s about the wake-up calls in life that let us know something needs to change.”
After 15 years, Rise Against have sold more than four million copies of their six albums, combined.
Here’s the lyric video for “I Don’t Want to be Here Anymore:”
