Popular punk hardcore outfit Rise Against have tried their hand at covering another iconic musical act recently.


Performing for entertainment website A.V Club, the group performed Nirvana’s hit song ‘Sliver’.


As A.V Club writes: “In the most generalized (sic) of descriptions, both Rise Against and Nirvana qualify as "loud punk," so it makes sense that the Chicago melodic-hardcore band chose the legendary Seattle outfit's "Sliver" for our loudest Undercover to date. (The air ducts outside our office, and presumably throughout our building, rattled during the performance.)”


Rise Against’s most recent studio album was 2008’s ‘Appeal to Reason’.
