Wolves, Rise Against's eighth album, came out on June 9, 2017, their one and only release on Virgin. It's also the first record since Siren Song of the Counter Culture, back in 2004, made without longtime producers Bill Stevenson and Jason Livermore, with Nick Raskulinecz in the producer's credit.

The Chicago punks, with Tim McIlrath singing and playing rhythm guitar, Zach Blair on lead, Joe Principe on bass and Brandon Barnes on drums, keep the tempos fast, the hooks sharp and the social conscience front and center. "The Violence" led the charge in April 2017, with "House on Fire" and "Welcome to the Breakdown" following as early teasers. It entered the Billboard 200 at number nine, the band's fifth straight top-ten album.
