Rise Against // Monster Stage (by Jill Decome)
❝We have always been more than just a political punk band. While politics play an unapologetic role in what we do, they do not consume our entire artistic output. ‘Like the Angel’ is an early example of the kind of songs that found their ways onto all of our records, and how we’ve always had one foot in politics and one foot in the personal. We loved heavy music but also songs that had a poppy or hooky side to them.❞
