Punk rock superstar Tim McIlrath of RISE AGAINST joins Chris DeMakes for Episode 7 of Chris DeMakes A Podcast to discuss, critique and analyse their mega hit single “Savior” off of 2008’s Appeal To Reason. To date, it has logged over 329 million plays on Spotify alone and holds the record for the most consecutive weeks on the Alternative Airplay music chart (formerly known as Alternative Songs and Modern Rock Tracks). “We toured the entire Appeal To Reason record without ever playing ‘Savior’ and it wasn’t even like some tortured decision,” explains Tim McIlrath. “We didn’t even think about it… It just didn’t make the setlist. It was just a song on the record that we liked, but it wasn’t anything that we thought was particularly special. Turns out that it was.”
