Chicago based, Rise Against, found themselves inside the iconic 3Olympia Theatre for the first leg of their European tour. Having released their new single "Nod" last Thursday, fans lined up down the street for hours waiting to hear the band's newest track for the first time.

Two American bands opened the evening, the first being San Francisco's Spiritual Cramp and the second was Chicago's L.S. Dunes. There was no shortage of comments made by the bands on the current state of the U.S.
