Arriving just more than a year since the band’s last studio album, Rise Against’s “Satellite EP” gives fans a chance to reminisce in the band’s developed discography. By presenting two live takes on popular songs from previous studio albums, as well as the popular track “Satellite” and its accompanied video, the EP is short but packed with energy of live shows and a lauded single. The group plays both live tracks well, but the recording quality could be better. Rise Against’s new EP offers little in the way of new content, but it provides a good deal for two well performed live tracks and a music video with its $2.99 price. This release should help hold hardcore fans over until the band’s next album.
