Genre  They are listed as Punk Rock with one reference whereas Melodic Hardcore has three references  Preceding unsigned comment added by       I beleive they consider themselves as American melodic Hardcore they are too much mistaken as Punk or Emo even though they may sound punk    Punk Srsly One word LOL     I would not classify Rise Against as punk rock I dont know precisely how they should be categorized but punk strikes me as odd and inaccurate     LMAO if you think Wikipedia is a reliable source for the genre of a band Wikipedia also says Green Day The Offspring and Blink  are punk bands when clearly those bands are popalternative Rise Against used to be punk but now theyre not punk and who cares what Wikipedia thinks youll never see a Wikipedia sysop at a REAL punk show anyways  Preceding unsigned comment added by      Vandalism Someone should watch this page there has been quite a bit of vandalism Kippkipp   Deelawn  Im not one to claim responsibility for any vandalism but PETA supports vandalism through the ALF so its likely there has been retaliation common sense  July  vs July  Someone keeps changing July   to July   as the release date for their new album The Sufferer and the Witness I follow the news at any punk website very carefully and there has been no evidence that its coming out on July th The news at Punkbandscom claims that it will be out on July th From now on I would like a source for July th so this edit war can end or just leave the article how it is As I said on TalkThe Sufferer and the Witness    Did you see the link I provided It was link to their MySpace page which I feel is a legitimate source If that still is not enough for you perhaps check out their official web site and watch the flash intro  I know sites like punkbandsorg and absolutepunknet have said July th but they are not an officiating source  of the stuff they post on there are rumors    OK then Sorry if I was harsh when I kept changing the date    You guys are silly Look the album up on All Music Guide which is owned by AEC Distribution  wwwallmusiccom  it says July th as did all the magazine ads and wheatpaste posters all over big cities across the country And thats when I got mine  did rise against pay for this most bands one of the categorys is criticismsrise against is good but not perfect   Genres   PostGrunge No way dude   Agreed PP  I Concur  yeahlets try metal rock or hard rock    id say screamo  ive seen them in concert  well like they were the opening band for my chemical romance  but they played for about an hour  everything they sang was screaming  Preceding unsigned comment added by      Here are some ideas sign your posts and know what your talking about before you post You cant call a band sceamo because they opened for My Chemical Romance nor can you call them screamo for heh screaming After all many metal bands scream their lyrics and are still metal not screamo Also they are Melodic Hardcore Punk Rock a genre that often combines EmocoreScreamo and Pop Punk in its songs Although it is a different subgenre of Hardcore Punk
