Rise Against have announced the release of their new DVD Another Station: Another Mile on October 5, 2010 on DGC/Interscope Records. The DVD, which will be available worldwide and also digitally through iTunes,  features performances of 14 songs recorded in locations throughout the world. These performances are interspersed with interviews with each band member of the Chicago based band revealing the creative process that goes into making a Rise Against song and the history of each individual band member.

Also this week; “Savior” becomes the longest running song at Alternative radio. The gold plus selling single from the band’s fifth album, 2008′s Appeal To Reason, has spent more than 63 weeks on the Mediabase Alternative chart!

Another Station: Another Mile begins with a statement from the band:

“Since we put together our last DVD, the snowball that is Rise Against is still gathering size and speed.  What you hold in your hands is the continuing story of our band, what it means to us, and what it means to people like you. At our request, all the live footage you see in the DVD is completely unedited; meaning we didn’t go back and fix or re-do anything. We felt it should stand or fall on its own merit, and be embraced for what is, which is live music. Who knows, maybe we’ll feel differently next year. But for now, the moments are captured raw as we make our way to another station: another mile.”

1. Big Money Rustlas has just arrived on DVD. For those who are unaware, what is main plot of the film?

M: It’s about a town that is lawless and infiltrated by a notorious band of thugs. That’s all I’m telling.

3. How did you go about choosing the cast?

M: We weren’t involved in that aspect of the movie.

4. What is the Psychopathic connection with Jason Mewes?

I give this EP a 1 out of 5 stars.

Serj Tankian will release his new album Imperfect Harmonies on September 21st and recently wrapped up his first ever show in Armenia. He spoke with me about the new album, new poetry book, and David Bowie.

1. What can fans expect from the new album Imperfect Harmonies?

A unique sound backed with conviction and melancholic resonance.

2. You recently performed for the first time in Armenia. What was that experience like?

It was mind blowing. The level of excitement was 11 out of 10 there. It was the busiest 30 hours of my life. It was great to see a new wave of inspired eco-activist Youth and other progress in the country.

3. What is your view on the current state of the music industry? Isn’t it time for major labels to go with the current flow and adapt to the new ways people access and listen to music?

The most profitable music oriented company is a hardware company (Apple). The majors will evolve into focused music marketing companies as physical retail chains and distriburtors go under. Subscription coupled with streaming services will rule.

4. You have a great knack for melody in your songwriting. What styles of music influence you the most?

Something different all the time.

5. Do you still write a lot of poetry? I was a fan of Cool Gardens.

Yup. I’m putting out a 2nd poetry book called “Glaring Through Oblivion” next year with artwork by my friend Roger Kupelian, top digital painter on many films.

6. What are some political causes/groups are you affiliated with currently that people should know about?

The cause that is most dear to my heart is obviously genocide recognition. But through Axis of Justice, Tom Morello and I work on many causes together (from food banks to disaster relief, labor to environmental injustice, etc). I’ve worked on numerous occasions with Amnesty Int’l on their Darfur campaign as well as freedom of speech in Turkey. AOJ also has a great site www.axisofjustice.net and a radio show tom and I have hosted for many years.

7. Does Serj Tankian live a “Green” lifestyle?

As much as I know how to, yes.

8. Who is on the list of musicians that you would like to collaborate with but have not as yet?

Bjork, Tom Waits, Thom Yorke, Andre 3000, David Bowie, to name a few.

Good Charlotte’s new single, “Like It’s Her Birthday,” is available on iTunes now. The guys took some time to record a video message for their fans to announce the release and share how excited they are that the song is out.

“Like It’s Her Birthday” will appear on Good Charlotte’s fifth studio album, Cardiology, due out October 26th on Capitol Records.

1) How did you get started as a musician?

I began playing guitar when I was eight years old and started my first band when I was a junior in high school. It was not until college however that I really began to consider being a musician as a career.

2) What has been your most memorable tour/show experience so far?

The most most memorable show we ever played was an acoustic show with Sarah Mclaughlin. It was absolutley surreal to meet her and hear her perform in such an intimate setting.

3) What artists are you influenced by?

As a band we are collectively influenced by U2, Coldplay, Keane, Tears For Fears and tons of others.

4) Who would be an ultimate artist for you to collaborate with musically?

I would love to share the stage or studio someday with Bono.

5) Who is your favorite unsigned artist?

We are great friends with the band Barcelona. They create some awesome music and have a great live show.

6) What has been the best moment for you all as a group so far?

The best moment for us was when we received our gold plaques for our single selling over 500,000 copies. It’s so cool to have it hanging on the wall at home!

7) How can we keep up to date on what you are up to?

We are always on Twitter and Facebook updating and letting everyone know what we are up to. You can also check our official website at www.thrivingivory.com to see what we are up to and where we are touring!
