Los Angeles, CA July 12, 2006 – Rise Against members Brandon and Tim sat down with Patty Dao from TagWord.com to talk about their new album, “The Sufferer and The Witness” and their unique touring experience, before their Warped Tour performance in Los Angeles.
Patty- How has Warped Tour gone so far?
Brandon- It’s been great, it’s been big crowds, we’ve had great sets, it’s been a long hot month but we are halfway done.
Patty- What do you guys do when you aren’t performing?
Brandon- We’ve got a bunch of our friends out here; Bouncing Souls, No Effects, Against me. At night we have a BBQ, hang out with our friends and try to relax.
Patty- Have you guys been writing music lately?
Brandon-We have a new record, it came out July 4th, “The Sufferer and The Witness.” It’s our fourth record and we are really proud of it. The first single is “Ready to Fall.”
Tim-A lot of that song is about being on the road and being in a band and the sacrifices you make to do what you love to do.
Patty- What are your plans for the band?
Tim-We are going to finish Warped Tour and then tour all year.
Patty- What do you do when you aren’t touring?
Brandon- I try to relax and spend time with my family. We’re not home much so most of our time home we go off on our own paths and try to relax.
