Ricochet is the tenth studio album by American punk rock band Rise Against. Released on August 15, 2025, it is their first produced by Catherine Marks. Prior to the album’s announcement, the band released two singles; “Nod” on January 24, 2025, and “Prizefighter” on April 3, 2025.[1][2] A third single, “I Want It All”, was released alongside the announcement of the album on May 28, 2025.[3]
Following the end of support for their previous album, Nowhere Generation, Rise Against elected work with a new production team. The band chose Australian producer Catherine Marks, best known for her work with Manchester Orchestra and Boygenius, as well as mixing engineer Alan Moulder. With a new production team, the band began writing songs that were a bit less traditional from their usual sound.[4]
In a press statement following the album’s announcement, frontman Tim McIlrath detailed the themes that the album tackles, primarily being focused on the interconnectedness of modern day society and how accessible news, government, and other people are:
“Ricochet is about our collective inter-connectedness. We started with the title track and that being about how we’re all —whether we like it or not —stuck in the same room, so to speak. Everything you do is going to affect somebody; everything you throw will affect the next person. We’re connected to other countries, other economies; we’re connected to undocumented immigrants. We’re connected to every decision our leaders make. It’s all one big ricochet effect. That idea is the backbone of this album.”- Tim McIlrath[5]
Rise Against began to tease new music towards the end of 2024, but would not release any new music until the following year with the album’s lead single “Nod” on January 24, 2025.[6] This was followed by “Prizefighter” on April 3, 2025 and “I Want It All” on May 28, 2025, with the album being announced alongside the latter.[7] Ricochet released on August 15, 2025, and the band will be on a co-headlining tour with Papa Roach to support the album.[8]
All music is composed by Rise Against; “Ricochet” and “Prizefighter” composed with Jennifer Decilveo; “Black Crown” composed with Andy Hull.
