RISE AGAINST REFUSES TO PLAY FOR ARMY SPONSORS

The band recently pulled out of a radio station concert sponsored by the US Army's Recruitment Department. Florida radio stations lashed out against the band following the announcement.

"We were surprised that a radio station claiming to be familiar with Rise Against thought we would be ok with the idea that we would play a show and subject our fans to military recruitment tactics in a time of war, a war we adamantly and publicly have opposed since its bumbled inception," the band said in a statement, which can be read in full on their website.
