Get the mothers against hard rock mug.Never mind the fact that they're an awesome punk band. Never mind the fact that the
lyrics are well-written, intelligent, and plain wonderful. Never mind the fact that Tim McIlrath can actually sing AND scream (and do both really well).
All the other definitions are just as accurate, but what many of them don't mention is that they actually give a damn about the world. All the band members are vegetarian. They worked with Vans to create vegan skate shoes. The video for Prayer of the Refugee ends with a plea for fair trade. Whether you agree with their views or not, you still have to respect them for doing what they do when it'd be so much easier to just write another song about heartbreak. Though they do that really well too.
These guys care about what happens in the world, and they still manage to rock. If you haven't already, go listen to one of the songs in the other definitions and be amazed.

When Rise Against's video for Prayer of the Refugee finished playing on MuchMusic, I was shocked by the fact that I had finally seen a meaningful, thought-provoking music video on television.
Later, I was shocked again when I discovered that these were the same guys who sang Swing Life Away.

Get the back against the wall mug.A great punk band. Great Lyrics, though i don't know why they are on 'urban' dictionary. I love hip hop (not eminem and crap like that though) but theses chicago natives are incredible.
Like the Angel, Give it All, Dancing for Rain and To Them These Streets belong are four of the best songs by Rise Against.

Get the Against'nt mug.A moment that is a reference to the song by famous musical artist Will Wood. The song Against The Kitchen Floor could be seen as about how it's difficult to correctly know and feel your emotions, and trying to not let it impact others. What sets this song apart is it's upbeat nature and strange vibes. To sum it all up, an Against The Kitchen Floor Moment is 'when you're really sad but are groovy abt it.'
(Laughing along to intense emotions as if it's a joke)
"Ha ha, this truly is an Against The Kitchen Floor Moment *cries*"
