In preparation for the release of their album Nowhere Generation , which arrives on June 4th, Rise Against released their new single "The Numbers" this Thursday, the 6th.
The song follows a line of activism and social awareness, offering critiques of the system that remain current and relevant. “The Numbers” has a powerful and challenging music video conceived and directed by the American activist collective Indecline , which is composed of a group of graffiti artists, filmmakers, photographers, and activists.
The video features images of protests and police repression in various parts of the world, as well as artistic collages. The Inspire expressed enthusiasm for working with Rise Against, a band that, according to them, has inspired them since their first albums and also gave them the opportunity to "create the kind of visual content that seeks to inspire and educate."
“Beyond simply showcasing global protest movements, this video serves as a reminder that we are all living in a golden age of resistance and to use our privileges to wholeheartedly commit to 'pulling the rope' in the opposite direction. Or, to be more direct, don't be like your parents' generation. Care and show it,” the collective said.
