Rise Against Unveil Two New Singles Ahead of Fall Tour with Alkaline Trio
The songs skew from the political in "Katy Bar the Door" to the emotional in "Living Undercover." Rise Against Unveil Two New Singles Ahead of Fall Tour with Alkaline Trio Langdon Hickman
Rise Against have dropped two new singles, "Katy Bar the Door" and "Living Undercover," ahead of their upcoming fall tour with Alkaline Trio. These tracks reflect the band's signature melodic punk rock and hardcore style, with "Katy Bar the Door" addressing political activism and the ongoing ICE raids tearing families apart. Vocalist Tim McIlrath reflected on the track, stating, "This is not the first time in history we have reckoned with abuses of power.
Bearing witness to the fragility of democracy is a scary thing, and it demands a response." The other single, "Living Undercover," takes a more introspective look at the experience of hiding something, whether due to shame or fear. McIlrath explained, "Sometimes it's because we're building something beautiful behind the curtain, other times we're hiding some kind of darkness.
I like the cloak and dagger feel of the song that ties into its central theme." The band is gearing up for a tour with Alkaline Trio, set to begin on September 22nd and conclude on October 23rd. Tickets for the tour can be found [here](http://www.roadcrewonline.com/).
