"Give It All" started out on the 2004 compilation Rock Against Bush, Vol. 1 before Rise Against gave it a light rework for Siren Song of the Counter Culture, their third album, where it became the first single. It's hardcore punk with the throttle jammed open: Tim McIlrath hollering his own lyrics over his and Chris Chasse's guitars, Joe Principe on bass and Brandon Barnes on drums, with Garth Richardson producing and Andy Wallace on the mix. McIlrath has said it's about what it means to be a punk rocker right now.
Critics reviewing the album barely noticed it, yet it became the band's breakthrough and one of their best-known songs. The video crams the band into a packed subway car while people roam Chicago defacing billboards and posters, trying to jolt passersby into social and political awareness.
