Chicago-based alternative punk rock band Rise Against released a new music video for their standout track “Damage Is Done” off their latest album, Ricochet, streaming now via Loma Vista.
“Damage is done is about how hurt is not something that can be reversed, so we can either grow from it or let it unravel us,” shares frontman Tim McIlrath.
This live performance is the second video the band releases as part of the A.R.T. Project (All Rise Together), a creative fan-driven initiative that celebrates community, collaboration, and expression. Late last year, Rise Against invited dozens of dedicated fans to help shape a new visual world for the latest album by creating original posters to serve as the scenery in these new music videos. As the band performed standout tracks off the album, fans were featured alongside them and their artwork that was inspired by the record’s lyrics, themes, and emotional urgency.
The A.R.T. project is about bringing people together through music and creativity during divided times. Built on Rise Against’s long-held belief that music is a shared experience, the initiative welcomes fans into the band’s creative process to celebrate the community that has grown alongside them for over 25 years.
Few bands have built a connection with their fan base as long-lasting as Rise Against. The band has remained a steady and unifying presence, creating music that plays across generations and brings people together through shared emotion and experience. Rise Against has cultivated a portfolio rooted in empathy, urgency, and connection, balancing intensity with melody while reflecting the world around them and the communities that listen.
With Ricochet, Rise Against delivers what may be their most emotional, urgent, and high-stakes project to date. The album received praise from the likes of Rolling Stone, Billboard, VICE, Consequence, and more for its immediacy and emotional weight.
Rise Against will start their headlining North American tour on March 3rd in Providence, RI, with special guest Destroy Boys. They will be bringing the band’s signature sound and socially aware music to stages across North America, including Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Pittsburgh, Madison, Spokane, and more.
