Single Review
Rise Against - Prayer Of The RefugeeRise Against - Prayer Of The Refugee

The Chicago four piece Rise Against have just completed an eight date sold out tour of the UK and to coincide with the end of the tour, the band are releasing 'Prayer Of The Refugee' as a download only single. The song is taken from the bands critically acclaimed current album 'The Sufferer And The Witness'.

'Prayer Of The Refugee' is a great skate punk song that seems slightly mellow to start with but soon perks up when vocalist Tim Mcllrath sings "don't hold me up now, I can stand my own ground, I don't need your help now, You will let me down, down down!" on the melodic yet shouting chorus which seems to make the song.

Rise Against have always been a band who write killer songs that are instrumentally fast and full of big riffs with powerful vocals and sing a long moments that soon turn to ‘shout-a-long’ rage and 'Prayer Of The Refugee' carries on the same formula and is the perfect song to be released as a single from the bands third album 'The Sufferer And The Witness'.

4/5
