Rise Against has been compared to The Offspring, Sum 41 and Blink-182. None of these bands sound too much like Rise Against because Rise Against is very unique.
Try Flowbots and Rise Against
They were formed in 1999 but the musicians came from other bands like The Killing Tree and 88 Fingers Louie.
Rise Against are classed as a rock band, although their new album 'Appeal to Reason' is classed as alternative.
Maybe try Foo Fighters, Skillet, Three Days Grace, KoRn.
They don't there not a rock band
Emmure, Bullet For My Valentine, Marilyn Manson, Slipknot, and Papa Roach to name a few.
I've always considered Sevendust, Chevelle, and Rage to be similar.
