Never heard the Vacancy, Against me and None More Black are both good, and Rise Against are friggin killer! They are the remains of 88 Fingers Louie, one of the best Chicago bands ever, with the singer for Baxter. I'd go just to see Rise against, but the show sounds pretty sweet.
Here's the review for the new Rise Against album from my magazine, Nuthin', if you care:
RISE AGAINST Revolutions Per Minute Fat Wreck Chords 5 out of 5
What can really be said about Rise Against. They take over where the almighty 88 left off. They are a perfect representation of the working class Chicago punk style. Them, along with Lawrence Arms, will be the saviors of Fat Wreck for the new millennium. Rise against are simply some of the best players of the game nowadays. Powerful music, with lyrics that make your soul cry out for mercy. The vocals are just amazingly melodic and threatening with the same breath. If I had to sum this album up in four words it would be : This shit is genius!
For fans of: 88 Fingers Louie, Kid Dynamite
