Rise Against have shared their second new single of 2025 – out now on Loma Vista Recordings, ‘Prizefighter‘ illustrates the internal battle between making art, maintaining autonomy, and meeting the demands of the present day’s never-ending, rapidly-shifting attention span.
Rise Against vocalist and lyricist Tim McIlrath says: “‘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. It’s trying to reconcile the shift from spectator to the public arena, and what you owe the people that are your fans versus what you owe your own mental health.”
Listen to ‘Prizefighter‘ and watch the video, showcasing the symbolism behind the song, the roaring energy of Rise Against’s live shows, and the deep devotion of their fans below.
