Im not even particularly a huge folk fan outside of either of them but both groups are capable of just hitting me exactly where it hurts time and time again. Can never outgrow them.

Im a hip hop head, but Rise Against is one band I really got into. Endgame ended up being their album release around when I was taking notice. So, that became the one that really grew on me and I never completely stopped playing it.

Nice, I really like Endgame too. Would probably be my second favourite album after The Sufferer & The Witness. Some of my favourite songs are Injection, Wait For Me and This Is Letting Go. What are your favourites?

The best aspect of Rise Against for me is the depth of the lyrics. They delve into all sorts of philosophical, sociological, ecological and political themes.
