Marking their second single of the year and their first new material in three years, Rise Against returns with their latest offering, “Prizefighter.” Tim McIlrath shares, “‘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.
