Rise Against Concert Memorabilia Include PETA Pamphlets

Written by Vegetarian Star on December 3rd, 2008 in Bands.

When you go to a concert, you expect to be able to buy some CDs, posters, and a T-shirt if you have any money left over after beer funds have been allotted. If you go to a Rise Against concert, frontman Tim McIlrath and his boys will give you something for free: PETA Pamphlets containing information on going vegetarian.

“Kids are taking the time to do research on their own after they hear about us being vegetarian,” band member Joe Principe said, in an interview with Mercury News. “We want them to think for themselves, so it’s totally rewarding when they come to that conclusion on their own.”

The same types of brochures convinced Principe to turn vegetarian after reading some PETA literature distributed at a punk concert. All four members of the band Zach Blair, Brandon Barnes, Tim McIlrath, and Joe Principe are vegetarian.
